Brian Gossett, fffffoundhound that he is, discovered this gem yesterday. Remind you of anything? As I always say, great minds think alike!
Just glad it’s for The One™ and not John McCain.
Designer might be Daniel Molin of Brazil?
Great posters! I love them.
Nice poster set on high-quality glicee prints by Max Erdenberger who works as Central Office and manages to keep VLU full of amazing work everyday. Sweet!
A few more late additions to our happy family:
will all be joining us on PSST! 3 and saving the day to help complete some of our films!
Thanks guys!
Thinking For A Living has a great overview of everyone’s favorite typeface, Avant Garde.
Which incidentally is being used on lower thirds on the Fox News Channel (Does that strike anyone else as a bit weird? Don’t ask me how I know. Oh yeah, here’s how I know.)
Progressive Future has an interesting calculator that you can use to determine your personal cost of the Iraq War. That’s the average US per capita income for 2006, above. Truly frightening.
PSST’er Marcelo Garcia is part of a Brazilian directing association, NOIS, who just launched a new reel. Marcelo also did the cover of the August issue of ‘boards magazine – the Broadcast Deign and Graphics Report.
Other members include Alex Carvalho, Leandro Hbl, Pedro Inoue and Andrezza Valentin.
The Twenty120 films are online now here:
Go check out new work by all these past and present PSST’ers: Matt Tragesser, Jason Koxvold, Chris Hewitt, Rob Chiu, Matt Lambert, Matt Smithson and Mitchell Paone oh and myself.
Thanks again, Connor, for putting together another awesome collection of films this year.
This sounds like a terrible situation to be in. Original story here:
JOURNEY 3D – Unpaid, Digital FX artists seek back pay of $1 million from Discovery Communications and Evergreen Films
For Immediate Release
HOLLYWOOD, Calif./EWORLDWIRE/July 9, 2008 — When Journey To The Center Of The Earth Movie 3D, the blockbuster and ground-breaking 3-D stereoscopic film starring Brendan Fraser, is released Friday, July 11, a group of digital effects artists from former Meteor Studios who worked on the film will continue a half-year later to wonder where their paychecks are.According to David Rand, special effects artists worked for Meteor Studios, a company established by Discovery Communications of Virginia (Discovery) (owners of the Discovery Channel) and Evergreen Films of Pacific Palisades (Evergreen). During October, November and December of 2007, artists worked without pay; some put in 100-hour weeks and stayed loyal to the project with the promise of pay as soon as the accounting glitch was fixed. Most of the artists who applied their talents to the creation of the film have families, and half are American freelance artists like Rand, whose hope for a bright Christmas was extinguished when all artists were laid off without pay in December upon delivery of the film.
Over $1 million is due from Discovery Communications of Virginia and Evergreen Films of Pacific Palisades.
Dave Rand’s is particularly vocal about, what he calls an injustice, because accordding to Rand, he was asked to keep his crew working without pay.”A million dollars is not money – money is what you take to the supermarket to buy some bananas. A million dollars is power, and it shows a company’s true character. Being a family-oriented network, Meteor, Discovery and Evergreen should be ashamed of themselves.”
