Double G Studios

I've never heard of Double G Studios before but the two rebrands below are beautiful, particularly the Tate video content rebrand. It's got some great vfx in it that give the Tate a future facing feel to their brand. The sound design is really well done, creating an excellent soundscape (in my opinion) and it makes effective use of panning and stereo effects.

Sometimes it just proves that you can't beat real world physical visual effects This time Double G projected onto a glass structure and shot on 35mm.

Invisible VFX - ShadeVFX

Shade VFX were involved in producing some of the VFX for the new The Muppets (2012) film. As is often the case it's not all about explosions and and 3D Robots stomping around town. Sometimes it's much more subtle and about the unseen...

Transformers Oscars VFX showreel

Michael Bay's VFX showreel for the Oscars. I never saw Transformers 3 when it was first out, but I suspect this 10 minute VFX fest just about sums it up.

Making Of ‘Peugeot- Just Add Fuel’.

Just caught the new Peugeot ad "Just Add Fuel"on the TV created by BlinkInk and BlinkArt and I have to say it looked brilliant. Really great mix of hand crafted animation with so CG clean up. The interesting thing is that it was all Pre-Vis'd in 3D to create animatic and sort out the timings for everything the filmed on DSLR. There's some sweet tracking and crane shots. Can we have more of this please. :)
