Animation, Art, and Other Shiny Things
I recently watched a deadmau5 concert. On Netflix, of course – as much as I’d like to attend a live show, my age and hair would make me stand out like a violin at a guitar festival. Besides, standing in the middle of a huge, jostling, crowd just isn’t a good time to me.
Anyways, what was notable, besides the most excellent tuneage, was the light show, or rather, the ‘projection mapping’. Basically, the idea is projecting video onto 3D objects such as buildings or stage sets.
While this is actually kind of an advertisement for a cellular phone, it’s an incredible, large scale, example of projection mapping.
Each of the 120 metre high building’s 800 windows were covered with vinyl as 16 powerful projectors, stationed 300 metres away on the other side of the river, beamed 3D images onto the structure.
Music by Peter Gabriel, animated by Glenn Marshall.

Rendezvous is a two-man electro band out of the UK. You may remember them from their previous video posted here, The Murph, that reached number five on the British club charts.
Your Friday Night Rogue Video is one that I wish was much longer than it is.
Music by Nostalgia.
It may not be a complex animation, but Bird’s horn fills it in nicely.
Your Saturday Rogue Video is one from the somewhat hidden Funk page here at The Ruffled Crow, so prepare thyself to Get Thee Down and Be Thee Funky.
I became a fan of Bootsy Collins back in his days with the P-Funk collective. Bootsy is the grand master of the mean and nasty funk groove – to this day, as far as I’m concerned. So while this video isn’t fully animated, it does have Bootsy in it and that’s pretty much the equivalent.
From Bootsy’s 1990 EP Jungle Bass.
Machinima is the use of real-time 3D computer graphics rendering engines to create a cinematic production. Most often, video games are used to generate the computer animation. via
