VFX SPEEDS UP THE AGING PROCESS

HAL (www.hal.tv) recently created visual effects for a new music video from indie rock band Low vs. Diamond.

The Heart Attack music video looks like it is one continuous shot in which band member Lucas Field sings to a girl and kisses her.

As the video progresses, both characters are dramatically aged via CGI VFX, from their 20s well into their 90s.

SAY GOOD-BYE to SLIDESHOWS

Animoto is a new web application that produces MTV-style videos using your images and your music. Produced in a widescreen format, Animoto videos have the visual energy of a music video and the emotional impact of a movie trailer. And best of all, no two videos are ever the same. Ever.

Sharing these videos is easy too. You can easily embed them into your website or blog or onto social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. You can also e-mail them to friends and download them to your computer.

The guys at Animoto used to produce shows for MTV, Comedy Central & ABC, study classical music in London, play in rock bands in Seattle and develop software in Japan. They developed ANIMOTO, a patent-pending, Cinematic Artificial Intelligence that thinks like an actual editor and director. This A.I. makes the same sophisticated editing techniques used in television and in film available to everyone.
