thaeger Pop-Up Books Get the Magical Movie Treatment [Video] | Co.Design Intricate papercraft designs are mindblowing enough. But what happens when you add elements of film, puppet theater, pop-up books, and interactive light projection? "The Ice Book," a spellbinding traveling show by Davy and Kristin McGuire. The husband-and-wife team says they "always had the dream of creating a theatre performance that opened up like a pop-up book." images © Davy & Kristin McGuire In addition to pop-up books and theater, the designers took inspiration from pre-cinematic illusions like zoetropes and magic lantern shows. Kristin took care of meticulously designing and cutting the pop-up paper scenes; Davy created the animations from a combination of live-action footage (shot with a Canon 5D Mark II) and Adobe AfterEffects.

Collection automne-hiver par Amnesty Collection automne-hiver est la nouvelle campagne choc d’Amnesty International France réalisée par TBWA\Paris. Une claque, d’autant plus pendant la fashion week. La campagne met en scène 3 cas emblématiques de violations de droits : les violences conjugales, la répression de la liberté d’expression et les expulsions forcées. Shootée par le photographe Dimitri Daniloff dont la marque de fabrique est la mélange entre esthétisme/beauté et réalisme/dureté, ces 3 scènes montrent une extrême violence incrustée dans l’ordinaire d’un déflié de mode afin d’illustrer tout le décalage qu’il existe encore entre la réalité et la prise de conscience.
