Flipmood Beta

. Flip: means “turn over very quickly” and “Be fond of something”.

. Mood: we all know what mood means, there's the bad one, the good one and an infinity of intermediate states.

The name Flipmood first appeared as a brand name for custom iPhone covers. Back then, it was a little enterprise aiming at creating a community of talented graphic designers and screen print their creations on iPhone covers. This project is one of the outcomes of a reflexion on the iPhone as an object and as a symbol. There are more outcomes coming soon!

The iPhone is an icon, but it also became a standard, loosing its uniqueness and originality. In some place, it has become the most common phone in middle to high-income urban communities. Having unique covers to hide their normality - and in my personal case, terrible dents and scratches!! - makes complete sense. It makes so much sense that all the Apple cover suppliers on Earth had similar views at similar times. We basically had our first sample when we should be selling it. So we dropped it, but we kept the name. We indeed soon realized Flipmood as a name fitted our views beyond simple plastic covers.

Lord random, Color

2010-05-06T00:56:04-07:00

More randomness, in color this time ! Wooohooo!

This couple of work explores a little further randomized animation, making this time a better use of colors.
Greatest silence by Lorn is like a rotating outdoor advertising billboard, on crack. Each side is fed with previously made animations, creating those weird repetitive patterns.
Black sun by Kode 9 is a metallic shape-shifting heart that bends and twists with the sound. Its moves are self-evolving and completely random!

Lord random, B&W

2010-05-06T00:54:07-07:00

There are a couple of key frames here and there, but it's mainly the Lord's work!

This set of work is an experimentation on randomization and chaotic choreography of basic elements such as cubes and volumetric light spots. It is all based on the music, and its interaction with the 3d elements.

Brainwaves: Lorn X Samiyam
Maglev asteroid: Flipmood
Sasoriii: Charles Munka
Void: Lorn

2009 - 2010 Countdown

2010-05-06T00:34:53-07:00

We dodged the coffin for one more year! Wooohooo!!

This clip came from the idea behind a clepsydra: considering time as a fluid, and subdividing it using a precise volume of water in order to measure it. Here, volume of liquid is not the main concern. We focused on mapping real time (1 second, 1 minute or 1 hour) onto each number. In other words, second numbers fill in exactly 1 second, minute numbers in 1 minute and so on.
The exquisite melody of Song for Jesse by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis makes the wrap.
Enjoy and don't get a cold.

The game is ON !!!

Someone came to us one day and said: "Why don't you make some sort of spaced out flipper?" We said "Hell yeaaaah!!"
Except that this is no normal flipper: its always on x8 multi-ball and the machine is playing by itself on Funky Me by Timmy Thomas.
What's the point you'll ask me?
Have fun with 3d dynamics is good enough!
