Since I will be using a cut-paper technique for my project 2 I found this short stop-motion piece very inspiring.

Book Trailers are all the rage.
Now you can view the trailer for a book before you buy it on Amazon. Crazy!

Book Trailers for Gum Thief by Crush Inc.
As of now I’m thinking of exploring the idea of a book trailer for P_2. What instantly springs to mind as great examples of book promos, are the ones created by Crush Inc. for Douglas Coupland’s novel “The Gum Thief”. (awesome book by the way, read it.)
There are 3 concepts based on the two main characters (Bethany and Roger) and a story that the character is writing (Glove Pond) and each concept has 3 parts. They are great examples of how you can capture the essence of the book without re-telling the story by taking essential elements of the narrative and representing them more abstractly to communicate the emotions.
My favourite of the three is the “stop-motion staples” concept for the character Bethany.

Visualizing Music
Came across this piece, titled “One” by Michal Levy an animator and artist who specializes in the exploration and experimentation into visualizing sound. The movement and colours are great and as a whole the animation really captures the essence of the jazz track behind it.

Cool Blue Water.
Was surprised at the end of this lovely delicate hand-illustrated motion piece to find that it was for RBC?! Love the seamless transitions and projection of depth that was achieved.
