Nature by Numbers

by R27 CREATIVELAB on Wednesday, 28 April 2010

A SHORT MOVIE INSPIRED ON NUMBERS, GEOMETRY AND NATURE.

The animation begins by presenting a series of numbers. This is a very famous and recognized sequence since many centuries ago in the Western World thanks to Leonardo of Pisa, a thirteenth century Italian mathematician, also called Fibonacci. So it is known as Fibonacci Sequence, even although it had been described much earlier by Indian mathematicians.



Go to etereaestudios.com if you are looking for more information: the theory behind the movie (Fibonacci, Golden Ratio, Delaunay, Voronoi…),

Richard Morrison - Film title Sequences

by R27 CREATIVELAB on Monday, 19 April 2010

The opening film title sequence sets the mood and introduces the its lead character traits well before you may even realise. The suspense starts from the first letter appearing on your screen and while most are still deciding which drink to drink and whether the popcorn should be sweet or salty, I'm seated waiting for the intro. Nerdy... yes but who cares, from the Bond title sequences, Star Wars, Se7en and many many more, I consider all these to be a short movie in themselves. So next time you go to watch a movie, get there early find your seat and tell the rest to "shhhhh"

Richard Morrison is one of the world's leading and most experienced designers of film title sequences, broadcast, TV branding and commercials. In a rich and prolific career he has created countless title sequences, from blockbuster movies to cult classics.

Nokta. by Onur Senturk

by R27 CREATIVELAB on Thursday, 15 April 2010

Nokta (Dot) is an abstract film project which is an improvisation of organic pieces while considering themes like power, chance and luck.



Client: Self-Initiated
Role: Art Direction, Design, Animation, Compositing
Date: February 2010
Format: Short Film 1024*576 Widescreen Pal
Sound: ECHOLAB Gavin Little

'I see some correspondence between the foundation of universal harmony on elliptical orbit and the predilection for the elliptic forms in Baroque architecture. In both cases harmony is still defined as unity within multiplicity, but it ceased to be static, namely, harmony expressed in one ideal geometrical form, and became so to speak dynamic. What was previously regarded as the deviation from the ideal form, was comprehended for the first time as an integral part of the form, or form of forms, which are capable of endless transitions one into another. ' [Amos Funkenstein, The Dialectical Preparation of Scientific Revolutions. On the Role of Hypothetical Reasoning in the Emergence of Copernican Astronomy and Galilean Mechanics.]

Fringe Intro Sequence - New & old

by R27 CREATIVELAB on Wednesday, 7 April 2010

So whats going on with the new sequence, those in the UK may remember the early versions of "Tomorrows World" to all others you may think of the 80s version of Tron, oh how things have changed. But for Fringe it was a surprise, not sure how I feel about it. If its a one off then great although I know its going to bother me if its kept. I understand what they are trying to do alternate universes 30/40 years apart but it seems so out of style in keeping with the content of the show.

"I guess its just because there are so many flash backs to the 70/80s" - yeah thats it as Glenda informs me "but there may be more to it knowing JJ Abrams"

What do you think? love it or hate it or don't give a.....

Old Sequence as of April



New Sequence (Episode1 April 2010 "Peter")- Maybe its an April Fools thing?

DigitalSelecta.com - Beta testing

by R27 CREATIVELAB on Monday, 5 April 2010

For the past 6-8months we've been working on the look and feel of a new Online Live Broadcast DJ Software - Digital Selecta with Rajesh Pancholi | R27.CREATIVELAB. So whether you're into Indie, Dancehall or Hip Hop, feel like a little Jazz (niceeee) or thrashing out some Heavy Metal this is for you. Mix a few tracks for your own pleasure or broadcast live to an online audience, its up to you.

Right now we need your help, while we continue to hide in the basement with only candlelight and takeaway food, as we tweak and adjust the code and continue to revisit the interface, we need feedback!

Be part of the DigitalSelecta Community, Sign up at: www.digitalselecta.com


Currently DigitalSelecta is at a usable stage but some of the functions are incomplete. The interface is also being modified as we introduce new functions. The public beta will be limited to 100 people and will be ready as soon as changes have been made to the streaming server. Beta testing is very important to us, we want a flawless product for our customers. As a beta tester we will be offering you a free copy of DigitalSelecta based on the amount of testing you carry out.



What is DigitalSelecta?
DigitalSelecta is the brain child of myself (Andrew Georgiades) and my good friend DJ Gary Strife. Strife is a vinyl dj through and through, he will only use cdj's if the venue lacks turntables. He comes from the oldskool Jungle days of 1994 where vinyl was the medium of choice and vinyl dub plates ruled the scene. DigitalSelecta aims to give the dj that vinyl feel in digital format. It is never going to be like the real thing but as far as software only solutions go, it's probably the closest thing yet. DigitalSelecta's layout is also key to the vinyl feel. Everything is laid out like the real thing making the workflow of mixing almost identical to using the hardware equivalent. You have your traditional mixer with cross fader, eq's and pitch. You can scratch your music by manually turning the platter just like you would on a turntable and the resulting sound is nothing short of that nostalgic vinyl pitch bending sound. Nudging the vinyl using the mouse wheel is almost like pushing the platter, the hand action is the same and it brings you that much closer to the real thing. During our testing, people listening have told that it really does sound like vinyl. Most Dj's are not perfect in their mixing abilities but this is what makes people listening realize that the dj really is mixing. You wont find and beat matching tools inside DigitalSelecta, you as a dj must get mix in time yourself and what a good feeling it is when you master it. If DS done it for you, anyone could mix and the art of mixing would be lost forever. When listening to a dj playing vinyl, you will often hear a song pitch bend slightly where the dj is trying to get both songs at the same speed. This sound is priceless and it is what makes dj'ing vinyl style so good. It's like a formula one driver loosing grip on a sharp bend and fighting to get the car straight again. You wont find traction control in a formula one car, what's the point? As a side note, a strange phenomena occurred during the construction of DigitalSelecta. I had never played with vinyl and Gary put me to the test. We were at his house one afternoon and he told me to have a go on his vinyl turntables. Well i was shocked to say the least. Within 20 minutes i managed to mix a few tunes together and it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. The workflow really was the same and made us realize just how well we managed to simulate the process in software.

DigitalSelecta also includes a very nice mic stage with talk over and 3 band eq. You can pull off a professional radio show and people listening would think you had thousands of pounds of equipment in front of you. DigitalSelecta is also the first application of it's kind to offer hassle free live broadcasting across the internet. No setting up servers or configurations of any kind. It's all done for you, you just click the broadcast button and post a link to your preferred social networking site and away you go! As a customer, you will get a free amount of air time every month but there's more... If your show is popular, you will be featured on the front page of the DigitalSelecta website (in development as we speak) and you will be awarded extra airtime and more listener slots. We want DigitalSelecta to build communities where people come to listen to their favorite dj.

What are you trying to achieve with DigitalSelecta?
We are all about providing tools that make the process fun and intuitive whatever the process might be. In the case of DigitalSelecta, your dj'ing and your actually doing it yourself without cheating. You will almost definitely feel a sense of joy when you manage to pull off your first set.

As I mentioned before right now we need your help, while we continue to hide in the basement we need your feedback! Be part of the DigitalSelecta Community, Sign up at www.digitalselecta.com
