i hadn’t seen this one before: a (quite old) collection of animal onomatopoeia in various languages, nice (sound on)

…in progress, a small cameo of studio ‘hort’ and the charismatic ‘eike könig’ a very friendly chap who i met a few years ago ‘working at Studio Hort for me means freedom, trust, risk taking and maybe a little bit off Rock & Roll, but I think that all comes from Eike’
the film is mostly spoken in german (via ‘fontanel’)
3 over 3
i recently made some simple motion graphics for a new short film ‘3 over 3’ by my friend, director ‘louis van zwol’; the plot involves a taxi driver talking to a young woman in the back of his car… the girl it transpires, is his deceased daughter for whom he is going to lay flowers at the site where she was killed in an accident at 03:03 at night, the type represents the ghostly theme of the film, ashes to ashes…
the moving typography was made using fine-grain sand, a paint brush, an old vacuum cleaner and stop-motion, i put it all together in photoshop and shot the frames out for post production, the deadline was really (really) tight so it is quite rough, but not too bad considering… still i learnt a lot about what does and doesn’t work again, which is useful as we are already talking about the next production
the film was nominated for best debut at the dutch film awards last month and can be seen in it’s entirety (under 10 minutes, in dutch only) right here

amongst the top search results for my website are the obvious ones such as ‘graphic design’ ‘martin pyper’ ‘me studio’ ‘amsterdam’ ‘ballet’ and ‘top quality designer for a very good price’ (well ok, the last one is a lie)
however the absolute top three search terms have a reassuringly predictable common theme and all three of them turn up in my google search hits virtually every day, the winners are as follows:
this post about belgian artist ‘wim delvoye’ from april 2010, then dutch artist ‘hester scheurwater’ with her iphone and finally this post about feline scans which i chose to give an, ahum… amusing title
so there you go, it appears that, at least some of the traffic i get everyday is from horny teenagers who probably are less than pleased to discover it’s all boring stuff about design… i have a funny feeling that the title of this post will also be joining the ranks of my top hits very soon…
