For my final project I decided to take an external brief which was provided by CTV Toronto, the objective of the project was to redesign the identity package for one of Muchmusic’s show called Much On Demand (MOD). So here it is! tell me what you think about it.

Check check check it out! Another infographics video from DD hit the Motionographer website under the student section! Jaime….. this is posted from your Vimeo account! Why is that I have to found this information from the internet!!!
Post it here! dude!
First a little background; My name is Simon Haiduk, I graduated in Aug. 2007 with DD07. Before DD, I was heavily into painting, and when I came to VFS I wanted to expand my skills with digital tools to further the visions into motion, while also learning some other fun stuff. Since I graduate I haven’t done much motion graphics, but went back to painting, and getting more into digital painting with Corel Painter X.. sooo fun! anyone who has a Wacom should get Painter.
However…the image above is a link to an draft version of a motion project I’m working on for a documentary on Quigong ( sort of like Tai Chi ). I feel a little rough around the edges with the motion, so I’m open to critiques. Keep in mind this is still a ‘draft’.. you’ll notice audio missing on the front end. I’m excited about this project because they’ve hired me to do all of the animation for this short film, and another full feature they are doing next year. It’s all in the same vein of art that I do which focuses on spiritual energy systems. So I’m mentioning to you students so you know that holding out until you get ‘the right’ job to maintain your artistic integrity is possible.
I also wanted to invite you all to my art show opening on this Saturday, Oct. 4th. It’s from 8pm - 2am at The Fall, 644 Seymour St. just around the corner from VFS. I know how intense school is, so I encourage you to come out and take a break, enjoys some, art, live music, drinks, and edibles by Gorilla Food.
Showing art will be David Heskin, from Seattle, and myself. You can read more on my Blog if you’re interested. And below is a clip of Don Alder who will be performing at the show. Along with Gypsie Et La Fleur.
I hope to see you there.
It’s been a successful DD slam last Friday, most of DD students participated on this event.
Special thanks to all the participants especially the actors Braun McAsh (Game design instructor), Leah Bancroft (DD08 student) and Tom Fedechko (Program manager), also the motion graphics instructors Bun Lee and Ron Serna who spent the time to shoot the green screen footage in the production studio after school last week.

This might be a little late for term 3 students as I am sure your infographics are well on the way and just need some polishing by now 
(yeah right..!) but I suggest to anybody interested in infographics in general to pickup the newest Idn magazine.
Their new issue focusing on infographics is full of inspiring pieces of work from web, print & motion .The magazine features (info)-graphic designer Nicholas Felton, motion design studio PIC Agency for their amazing Kingdom titles, Superfad for their sprint commercial and many others. For people interested in web design involving infographics, they have a short interview with Jonathan Harris who is mostly into web information visualization, check out his web projects, especially “we feel fine” and his talk on TED.
Still into this term-3-love state of mind, the magazine also includes short articles/interview with title sequences giants Prologue and Richard Morrison.
I think its worth the 15 bucks but if your broke, it might be a good idea to ask faculty to get their hands on at least 1 copy for the school as I am sure this could help some people for the motion design 3 class to get fresh inspiration. Enough of that bridesmaids crap…
Miniature Rocket was created by myself and Yaniv Fridman as our final project in the Digital Design program at VFS. The objective was to create an identity and a launching campaign for a new design studio that would specialize in motion graphics. The launch campaign collateral includes a website and stationery material. A one minute video called Polaris was also created as an alternative to the traditional demo reel for the company. Combining 2D, 3D animation, stop motion and classical animation, it is inspired by, and references the art and design of the 20th Century.
Update : featured on Motionographer & No Fat Clips!!!

We are also working on our personal portfolios which should be finalized in the next few days:
Hi guys, My name is Ryan Uhrich from DD07. It’s coming up to 1 year since I graduated from VFS, and man, the time has flown by. First off I’d like to congratulate DD10 and wish them my best. I’m sure you’re all super tired by this point.
Well it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything. I recently created my 2008 portfolio site along with a new showreel. I wanted to share it with all of you. It’s a mix of student work along with commercial broadcast projects I did while working at THANKYOU in Denmark. I just finished it in time for the upcoming ADAA event being held in New York City. Myself along with Marcos Ceravolo are fortunate enough to be finalists in the motion graphics category this year for our final project Duelity. So, wish us luck. 
Fingers crossed.
To the other DD classes to come, keep on rockin’ it.
Best,
Ryan
Not much. See this motion piece on Youtube, looks interesting!
Yes, 2D animation is basically drawing frame by frame. And you can pretty much called it ‘Stop Motion’ as the way they were done. But what about having this frame by frame drawing on a wall and then taking picture from it.
It is hard to imagine how long it’ll take to get this 7 minutes 26 secs done.
