Great stuff by Hunter Gatherer!
(Narration by Davis Guggenheim)
As education recently becomes THE Theme at least in USA , you can find more and more really great visuals about it, for example this great stop-motion animation by Hunter Gatherner for REDU. For the beginners,
REDU is an Education Reform destination resulting from a collaboration between CAA, Bing, Task Force and Good Magazine, among others.
The video is a 2-minute hand-made stop-motion animation explaining what REDU is all about. It was created almost entirely in-camera, and hand-made from literally thousands of individually cut blocks. This fact makes me really jealous, as after graduating from Uni' I don't have a workshop where I could produce something like this. But I still have a great respect for those who manage to produce this sort of stop-motion. Trendy? - Probably. Still looks great? - Yes, no doubt about it.
I loved how the materials used in the animation work with the theme of kids at school - you can rarely see a professional, commercial stop-motion clip that not only looks great in visual meanings but also uses materials that are appropriate for a chosen subject. In addition to that, there is a sense of great graphic design, especially the shape of the talking head and great color-palette.
