Take a look at Gina Thorstensen’s work on her blog and website. She creates illustrations, puppets and animation with a variety of media.
She often collaborates with Nacho Rodríguez and others on animated music videos which they produce via their Thorstencoo Productions. This is their video for the track “Bla Bla Bla” for the Mexican band Jumbo:
Surprisingly in the notes on the Vimeo page, Thorstencoo reveals that this was put together in Flash despite its heavy use of raster graphics more typically composited in After Effects or another type of program. Gina and Nacho also surprise with the fluid animation that they coax out of all the mixed scanned/photographed/drawn elements in this production.
Characters that Gina designed for a short film in production called “Astigmatismo” by Nicolai Troshinsky can also be seen bouncing around looking fantastic in the teaser clips available on the film’s website.
Gina Thorstensen and Nacho Rodriquez are very cool. Their Barcelona-based Thorstencoo Productions made this “experi-mellow” music video for Gotye. It was produced over the course of five months and is a mix of flash and hand-painted illustration.
Even cooler than this video – I’m going to be interviewing Nacho Rodriquez in person at CTN Expo on Saturday November 17th. Be there!
