Computer Animation of Helicopter Tragedy
Kitchen Sink Studios, Adria’s place of employment, was recently asked to develop a video re-enactment of a helicopter crash involving two local television news copters.
It was a day that will forever live in the minds of Phoenix residents, when an unthinkable tragedy took the lives of four people who seemed like family members to many in the city.
On July 27, 2007, two television news helicopters crashed into each other while covering a high-speed chase in central Phoenix, killing the crews in both. In the aftermath, it was difficult to determine how something like this could happen — but necessary to resolve the legal issues surrounding the crash.
That’s why Pat McGroder of Gallagher & Kennedy, which represented the victims’ families from the Channel 3 helicopter in the case (Bowerbank/Cox vs. US Helicopters, ET AL.), brought in Kitchen Sink Studios to help.
To me, this is a great example of how design can be used to help solve a real world problem. I’m sure this type of design goes unnoticed every day, but I find KSS’s involvement in this case particularly interesting.

The still shot may not say much about the video, but it’s there only because I am unable to post the actual video that you can watch here.
This awesome stop-motion music video for the The Schla La Las was animated entirely with Lego. It was created by Ben Cowell, a 3D animator at Nexus Productions in London. A must watch, and don’t forget to read the making of.

We finished this spot 15 months ago and it just aired… only in Brazil… but at least it aired! In 2007 Wieden+Kennedy selected Buck to direct this epic rock opera for Coke Zero featuring such memorable cast members as a singing bear, candy-pooping birds, an elk with sausage antlers, g-string wearing antelopes and honeycomb encrusted sheep, among many others!!

I don’t think I can contain my excitement for the upcoming release of release of Maurice Sendak’s classic “Where the Wild Things Are”; Spike Jonze is directing. I used to read this book ALL the time as a kid and am quite excited to see how it translates to the big screen. Check out the trailer.
