Found this great shop on Carnaby street whilst strolling round London Town earlier today, makes me want to go lomo! Or at least take more photos in general.

Liquid TV



The company the Dan Saunders currently works for. Not a bad company, they're currently hiring too, so if you're a middleweight digital designer or a Maya and After Effects genius then apply now while you have the chance!

Click HERE for the website.

Prologue



Another of the recommended companies form Dan Saunders. Their site has excellent examples of professional standard storyboards. Although as we found out today, rough storyboards are all that is needed, this finished an article would be reqested at a style reference.

Imaginary forces



One of the companies mentioned by Dan Saunders in today's talk. A great simple website, with their work speaking for itself. This title sequence for Human Target particularly caught my eye, a fantastic example of what I like to call 'messy-clean' motion graphics. You can see why.

Jimcarrey.com




Inspired to look at this website by reading a review in Computer Arts magazine, as well as my own connection to Jim Carrey (apparently I bear an uncanny resemblance to him). I found this website to be impeccably designed and constructed. Definitely a site worth checking out, could spend hours navigating the different elements!

Dissertation


Many critics ‘dismissed the creative opportunities’
of the electric guitar.

‘The volume and aggression of his sound, [Hendrix] alienated many people outside the rock circle and
public. But the audio visual feast provided, with
smashing and burning guitars fulfilled his audience’s demand for a cathartic experience.’

‘Guitar Hero gives you all the excitement and thrill
of being a rock star without leaving your home!!’3


This study investigates the rise of the electric guitar in popular culture, looking into the role played by both Jimi Hendrix and Pete Townshend whose performances pushed the electric guitar into the mainstream.
The electric guitar became a tool of expression and a symbol of mass resistance. The third chapter looks at Guitar Hero and the affect it had on the cultural
significance of the electric guitar.
