Making of the Map: John Potters Timelapse

By map making, Timelapse Maps 3 Comments

John Potter of Escape Key Graphics has just completed a map for the 2010 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, which takes place annually in of course Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Show Management; the company that puts on the boat show, wanted a friendlier, more illustrative map than the map they had used in previous years. John ran an ongoing screen capture as he has done with previous projects (find them on John’s “Design and Illustration Videos” page). The speed is doubled six times giving you the ability to see the work and the thought process behind it without being burdened by specifics of technique. The project was done primarily in Adobe Illustrator, it makes for a fantastic video:

John notes that the rendering was based on CAD drawings provided by Jeremy Thayer over at Show Management and the project simply could not have been done in such a short time frame, or with as high a degree of accuracy without those drawings as a foundation. If only everyone worked this way, the final result is excellent.

Jan Jelinek & Visiomat: Modell Stadt Berlin

By Architectual Visualisation, Jan Jelinek, Modell Stadt Berlin No Comments

Below is a contemporary audiovisual collaboration between Jan Jelinek and Visiomat inc. It is possibly one of the most surreal we have featured on digital urban but with its imposing soundtrack it is almost hypnotic. Jan Jelinek’s approach is all about the transformation of sound, about translating parameters of popular music into abstract, reduced and textural electronics:

Bypassing the rules of traditional musicianship, he prefers to construct collages from tiny sound fragments, from the lost-and-found products of samplers, tape recorders, media players and other recording implements. To this end, Jan Jelinek often works with loops and slight modulations to distil the gist of a piece of music and define it more clearly while masking its original source.
