Symphonies


The guys at Chic & Artistic wrote to let me know of a new video they produced and directed for musician Dan Black. The video pays homage to cinema with fun typography and motion graphics from various hit movies. The song is pretty catchy too!

Calligraphy and technology! A match made in heaven? Digital Slaves, a multidisciplinary art/technology group, have come up with an interesting system for real time calligraphy and drawing.

The system is composed of one industrial camera at 60 fps, a home made lamp and a touch screen with a interface.The interface allow the calligrapher to choose the texture, the width and the high and also the color. All running in real time…

The calligrapher featured in the video is the talented Kaalam.
