Radiohead’s latest video for their single House of Cards is, in true Radiohead fashion, a little bit ground-breaking. The video was recorded without light and without cameras. Instead they employed a couple of scanning technologies that mapped the scenes in 3D. They could then use the raw data to create the video using various rendering options and show the scenes from any angle they desired. Read the rest of this entry »

Today’s Design Week revealed a fresh new (and apparently, less expensive) identity for the DairyCo – the new name for the Milk Development Council (MDC).

There has been an international flavour to the Dusted studio lately with several pieces work coming to the boil for Chinese, Japanese and American markets – our internationalisation department has been very busy (but not yet managed to leave the confines of SE1). Read the rest of this entry »

Web Directions North 08 wrapped up a few weeks ago and I have finally found time to write up my notes. As with dConstruct 2007, all of the speakers were excellent and although I didn’t get to see all of the presentations, here are my notes on most of them. Read the rest of this entry »
