Psyop - Must See Animations
Some fantastic animations from the Psyop group. Some of these you've probably seen before but didn't know they were done by the same outfit.
From their website:
"New York City-based PSYOP is an inspiring culmination of creativity, collaboration and production focused on providing visual solutions in motion for the advertising & marketing, video gaming, broadcast and music video industries . Founded in 2000 by five creative partners , the company continues its insurgence into these industries with its distinct conceptual approach, collaborative nature and dynamically fresh aesthetics . Seamlessly blending the disciplines of design, animation and live-action directing PSYOP approaches elaborate challenges with extraordinary creative and technical flexibility providing unique solutions and design with meaning . PSYOP’s appropriation of the identity of the United States government’s division of psychological operations represents a critical awareness of the power that advertising has and the importance of accurate and targeted communications .
Their motto is “Persuade, Change & Influence"
Here are some of my favorites:
Coca-Cola
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Atari/Ecko

"The government of Libya is reported to have agreed to provide its 1.2m school children with a cheap durable laptop computer by June 2008.
The laptops offer internet access and are powered by a wind-up crank. They cost $100 and manufacturing begins next year, says One Laptop per Child."
