The New York Times

"We constructed typographic versions of the most recognizable landmarks in Manhattan and Istanbul, and created a compact tour taking the audience from the New York Harbor all the way to the Bosphorus. Actual pages from the first issue of the newspaper were used to create the textures used in the scenes. The financial news page became NYSE and Wall Street, entertainment news turned into Times Square, and so on."

Como extraño NY...

Reel 09 XiuhCalli

Mi mas querido amigo, Luis Dorantes, estrena este potente Reel con el que se lanza con todo al mundo del MotionGraphics.

According to the author, the effects were done in after effects using the particular v2, soundkeys and starglow plugins and a bit of luck.
Things like this reminds me how useful can be plugins when they are used as a tool for creativity.

Steven Spielberg Admires Animators

"I think all directors should be animators first, because you really can take the imagination to become something tangible, something you can hold in your hand, and say, “Can you see this? No? Well, I can.” And then you make that, make that happen."
