VHS or Beta "Breaking Bones"

Post pobrano z: VHS or Beta "Breaking Bones"
VHS or Beta music video – Breaking Bones – is based on an original concept by Pixelfucks. New York based Director Graham Hill explains:

Pixelfucks is a tumblr that was started early last year by a couple friends of mine as a diversion from their day jobs. The band saw the animated gifs and loved the aesthetic for the song. Pixelfucks then approached me and asked me to do the video”:

„Starting with the lyrics as a jumping off point, I knew we wanted to
show the impacts and memories a relationship leaves on you—a physical
representation of feelings. The question then was how to most simply
visualize this and still push that odd off-kilter feeling in the
imagery. Since it’s an age-old story, I decided to strip away all the
context around our main characters and shoot only the essential elements
on either a black or a white background.
 
So, after splashing
blue paint all over the actors and squeezing them into a variety of
skintight green and blue costumes, we took the footage and hammered out
an edit. Using that edit as the foundation, we ran it through a crafty
combination of keying, tracking and roto. Finally, applying a judicious
mix of psychedelic patterns and color, we eventually arrived at the
desired proportion of offbeat images and story.”

theexpressiveweb.com is a beautiful resource and showcase on CSS3 and HTML5 features.

It is brought by Adobe and currently shares 12 features including the ones like CSS3 animations, media queries, web fonts, HTML5 audio, canvas and web storage.

The website is pretty interactive and comes with many impressive demos that are built by Adobe or other websites.

For each property, the browsers that support it are displayed and, for non-compatible browsers, any possible fallback strategies are discussed.

Also, the official announcement of the project includes an informative "Lessons Learned" part which is a very nice read.

P.S. 2 Adobe-related posts in a row. What are the odds? : )

Post pobrano z: Adobe Edge – A Design Tool For HTML5-Based Animations

Advertise here with BSA

Adobe's Flash is probably having the most difficult days since its launch considering the no-iOS support and the increasing popularity of HTML5 + web standards.

A strong competitor to the Flash platform now comes right from Adobe with a tool named Edge that eases creating web-based interactive animations that only use HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS3.

There is a Flash-like timeline for building the animations and the built-in JavaScript engine used for them is jQuery.

Adobe Edge

Check out these demos and consider downloading the source files for the demos to start playing with the application quickly.

Adobe Edge is currently released as a preview release and offered for free during that period.
