Ready, Able
We’re diggin’ this trippy, bizarre and engrossing music video Allison Schulnik conceived, directed and animated for Grizzly Bear‘s ‘Ready, Able’.
A big thanks goes to Charles for sending this in – cheers!

Zombir
Another pixel-constructed oddity by Mr. Uno Moralez. The Tripatorium™ will be sans new posts this weekend as we’ll be attending PAXEast – see you on Sunday! Cheers!

The Art of Flight
One of the things I love almost as much as snowboarding itself is high-speed, HD camera footage of people boarding gorgeous back country trails. This trailer for The Art of Flight, set to be released this Fall, combines just the right shots with a well-suited soundtrack by Anthony Gonzalez of the electronic group M83 and Curt Morgan of Brain Farm, the production company behind the film. Even if you don’t board, I think you can certainly appreciate the stylish, trippy nature of this trailer.

After the Rain
Here we have an animated short from Gobelins students Charles-André Lefebvre, Manuel Tanon-Tchi, Louis Tardivier, Sébastien Vovau and Emmanuelle Walker that’s colorful, original, and just plain fun. Emmanuelle, in particular, has some great videos on her Vimeo page and, if you’re a Paris-lover like myself, then this particular one should do the trick. Here’s hoping for more, and in HD please!

Release The Freq
Kim Holm serves up a stunner for UK dubstep outfit, Matta. I dig how he combined the dissimilar elements of nature documentary-type footage with abstract colorful shapes/gradients and hi-tech interface elements to create something completely unique. It compliments the track rather well, too. Cheers!
P.S. I’ve been inundated with lots of great submissions this week that I’m still sorting through – I’ll do my best to get to them as soon as I can. Thanks for sending me such rad stuff, friends!

Mazes (full)
Hey, remember that trailer for ‘Mazes’ I posted back in January? Well, here’s the full business. Treat Studios FTW. The sound design is especially nice so if you’ve got a nice pair of headphones you might want to don them before clicking play. Enjoy!

Digital w/ Dan Luvisi
Digital artist Dan Luvisi combines many of my favorite things in his artwork: robots, comic books, dinosaurs, sharks, jets shaped like sharks…I could go on and on. His coloring and shading is top notch, and his original characters stand out in a very unique way. it appears Dan is currently working on his own graphic novel titled “Last Man Standing: Killbook of a Bounty Hunter”. Right now he’s mainly working on developing characters, but I am VERY excited to see where this thing goes.

Solar prominence
“When a rather large-sized (M 3.6 class) flare occurred near the edge of the Sun, it blew out a gorgeous, waving mass of erupting plasma that swirled and twisted over a 90-minute period… read more”
The good folks at NASA captured this on February 24, 2011 and it helped reacquaint me with just how small and insignificant I am – a realization I always find is tremendously freeing. If you are as fascinated about this kind of stuff as I am you’ll probably enjoy reading more about solar prominences on wikipedia.

Move Your Feet
Fine purveyors in the art of the music video, Shynola, created this for the now disbanded, Junior Senior, back in 2003. Great tune + fun and happy pixels = good times. Enjoy!

“Metamaterials are artificial materials engineered to have properties that may not be found in nature.”
Wow. This is just awesome. Dima Grubin is one talented dude. Dim the lights, click full screen and don the headphones for this one cause it’s an all around treat. See more on Dima’s Vimeo page.
