Barbecue Medien design GmbH Lexus

Trapcode did release three new short clips showing work two of their clients did produce.

the life before here yesThe new clips are made by Barbecue Mediendesign GmbH and Crew Creative Advertising

Barbecue Mediendesign GmbH did create two great clips “Lexus” and “Lexus LFA” (car). Crew Creative Advertising created the trailer Life Before Her Eyes Trailer

Life Before Her Eyes Trailer (quote from trapcode)
Trapcode plugins have always been a staple product in Crew Creative’s motion graphics pipeline, so we were excited to get our hands on Form. With a mixture of Particular, Starglow, Form and 3d Stroke (driving the Form map layer), Lead Motion Graphics Designer, Adam Franklin, achieved the visual look and feel desired for this trailer.

All three clips show the powerful results you can achieve with the fine plugins from trapcode.

Cloverfield (formerly known as Central Park) a new VFX and DFX movie

compositing, movie by Thorsten Meyer on January 20, 2008 No Comments »

Cloverfield Monstrous“Five young New Yorkers throw their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper desends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera. the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their lives. ”

Cloverfield is not showing yet on the screens here in Germany, however the trailer and the reviews I did read do promise that Cloverfield could be a little DFX and VFX masterpiece, which alone makes it worth while to watch the movie.

David Schnee who has worked on the Movie as a Digital Compositor has some great informations in his blog and shares some insights about the movie and some other project he is working on currently or has worked on in the past years.

Of course there is more to read about Cloverfield or just watch the trailer below.
