Summation of the Hawaii trip.... D-R-U-N-K

Hey y’alls.

Just got back from a killer Hawaii trip with some buds of mine for Rebecca Blankenship’s wedding.

Inspired me to change up the site too. Much simpler and cleaner then before. Enjoy!

I’ll be finally posting a CRAP ton of photos from the past couple years as well.

Infrared photo of the laser intercepting the missile

Wow..this is nuts. LAtimes reports that they successfully tested a laser-based missile defense system mounted on a Boeing 747. Here’s some juicy snippits from the article.

A flying Boeing 747 jumbo jet equipped with a massive laser gun shot down a Scud-like missile over the Pacific late Thursday night, marking what analysts said was a major milestone in the development of the nation’s missile defense system.

The airborne laser is designed to defend against ballistic missiles by shooting them down while they are in the boost stage, or when they are lifting off.

During the experiment, a 747-400F took off from Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert. The laser, which was affixed to the 747 and powered by chemicals loaded into the aircraft, shot a super-heated, basketball-size beam that traveled 670 million mph to incinerate a missile that was moving 4,000 mph, the Pentagon said.

Psyop makes another CG extravaganza for Coke/Superbowl 2009. Very fun and playful. Beautifully animated, rendered, and composited. Exceptional work Psyop.

Only thing is, is it me or have some of the bigger “motion graphics” companies becoming straight up “vfx houses”?
Is this the sign of things to come for motion graphics? I left the post house environment back in ’02 to work on projects that are heavily design influenced.
Is this the end of motion graphics and back to ‘ol vfx post production world?

Check this Motion Theory piece out.

See what i mean? So whats’ the difference between Motion Theory, Psyop vs Riot, Method, and The Syndicate ?
