Top Chef Masters
Posted in: Uncategorized
The new Top chef starts next month. The show is called Top Chef Masters. There is no lovable bear Tom Colicchio or no sexy hotness of Padma Lakshmi. But it does have Wylie Dufresne as a contestant and thats what will make me watch it!

CR Annual Best in Book: Capitu
Posted in: Uncategorized
The current issue of CR features The Annual, showcasing the best work of the past year. Nine projects have been chosen for our Best in Book section, the ultimate accolade. We will feature each of them in a series of posts this week that include additional content to further explain each project. In this post, see how Lobo’s wonderful hand-crafted title sequence for Brazilian TV series Capitu was made
Capitu is a Brazilian TV mini-series adaptation of 19th-century novelist Machado de Assis’ work, Dom Casmurro. The story centres on an ageing man looking back on his life in an attempt to discover whether his best friend is the true father of his son, who he has raised with his wife, Capitu. De Assis’ novel is now considered one of Brazil’s most important Modernist texts and, in order to convey its radicalism, motion graphics studio Lobo looked to the Dadaist movement as inspiration for the TV show’s opening titles and interstitials. The team referenced what several avant-garde artists called ‘décollage’, a process where – rather than building up an image through layering – cutting and tearing instead reveals layers of buried images.
Here’s the title sequence
And this is how it was made
See more on this and the rest of the selections from this year’s Annual in our May issue, on newsstands now.

I love this tv commercial from Spain. I really wonder what would happen if it was translated into English and played on TV’s in Canada? What do you think? What kind of response would it get in Canada? or the US?

Disney: The Cut And Paste Years
Posted in: Uncategorized
Or, ‘I’m sure I’ve seen that dancing bear before somewhere’. Thanks to Chunnel.tv for alerting us to this clip (by Vinichou) pointing out that, when it comes to recycling, Disney was way ahead
“I would assume that Disney regarded some of these sequences as sort of ’stock’ motion,” says Chunnel’s Stu, who posted the clip, “and it was probably the new guy’s job to go dig out those Jungle Book cells and translate all the monkeys into dwarfs.”
