Watch artist Miguel Endara create an illustration of his dad composed entirely out of 3.2 million ink dots. Simply stunning.

76 Synthesizer : App Design

Jeff — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 20:59:57 +0000

The 76 Synthesizer is a virtual analog monophonic synth application for the iPad. Inspired by the synthesizers from the 70’s, this interface brings back tactile memories of my parent’s old stereo equipment. The interface design was done by designer and developer Jonas Eriksson. Jonas has done an incredible job recreating the look and feel of heavy steel knobs, warm glowing vacuum tube amplifiers, leather wrapped casings and other details that are reminiscent of vintage analog audio hardware. To find out more about the 76 Synthesizer, visit the official site here.

The Art of Flight

Jeff — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 23:12:58 +0000

The Art of Flight has truly set the bar for action sports cinematography. The film is packed with stunning HD aerial shots that are captured with ultra high speed gyro-stabilized Cineflex and Phantom Flex camera systems. Taking place in some of the most remote locations of the world and featuring some of the greatest snowboard talent alive, the film is the most visually surreal “documentary” I’ve ever seen. The high-quality production of the film is supported by an engaging soundtrack and some stylish motion graphics.

The Art of Flight was created by Brain Farm Digital Cinema (if you want to see more, watch their demo reel….it’s worth it!). For more about the film, visit the official website here.
