"Pale Blue Dot" by ORDER

Pale Blue Dot from ORDER on Vimeo.


A visual response to Carl Sagan's famed 'Pale Blue Dot' monologue, where he muses on our planet's appearance in a photograph taken by the Voyager 1 space probe. The most distant photograph ever taken of Earth. This was a free-time project, designed and created in After Effects with extensive sound work created to sit along side the music from Cosmos and spoken word from Sagan. I had wanted to bring visuals to Sagan's words for some time and finished this after working on it periodically over the last 3 months. Thanks for taking the time to view.

Paperman Breakdown by John Kahrs -- via itsartmag

"This is a great first look at the technology and techniques that have been created for and used on the animated short, "Paperman".
If you don't know what Paperman is, check out the links below.  Director, John Kahrs and the team working on this film have definitely put a lot of thought and heart into it.
The line between 2D and 3D is slowly beginning to blend together.  The debate between mediums will continue, no doubt, but Paperman is sure to break some new ground and combine the best of both worlds.  We shall see.
Has anyone actually seen the short film in its entirety yet?  We'd love to hear what you thought of it."

This project was completed in 3 weeks! My partner and I are Sophomores in the undergraduate Computer Animation program at SVA. All modeling, texturing, lighting and animation was done using maya. We used the maya software renderer. No Dynamics were used in the making of this film, only hand animation!

Gaian.me - Official trailer 2012

Gaian.me - Official trailer 2012 from Steffen K on Vimeo.



The Gaian Project celebrates nature. With its yearly digital album release inlcuding designs,
music and articles it inspires to preserve our planet.

In 2010, Steffen Knoesgaard, Fredrik Ekholm and Simon Holmedal,
created the first ever moving imagery for the community art project
Gaia: The Gaia10 official trailer. Two years later the project has
changed from coordinated yearly releases, into an ongoing collab-
oration as the community run website gaian.me

To mark the new direction of the community, curator Marius Bauer
returned to Steffen and Fredrik and commissioned an updated trailer.
Seeing this as an excellent opportunity to blow off some creative
steam, they conceptualized an idea to recreate the trailer based
on the original thoughts, but updated for 2012.

During the process designer/animator Linus Lundin - a long
time collaborator, joined the project as well as musician
and sound designer Jochen Mader.

While not setting out to to be a polemic, this short is about the amazing manifestation of people power that is the Arab Spring.
