Mathematic

For the cover of MGMT's single 'Its Working' director/designer So-Me created this design inspired by his video for the band which Mathematic helped create. Check out the video here.

After discovering the Altiplano region in Chile, Mihai Grecu, the director of 'Centipede Sun', came up with the idea to create this beautifully atmospheric film. Funded by La Bourse de la Scam, the project was produced with the help of Mathematic Studios and Arcadi. A symbol of isolation and the effects of Global Warming on the climate, the films inspiration was due to the sublime Chilean landscape as well as the country's complex spiritual background.

"The film represents a the landscape as a self-sufficient being and how this is in part is being destroyed. The surrealistic transformations become a logical extension of the magnificent strangeness of the landscapes. These places known for the absence of any form of life within huge distances undergo a symbolic metamorphosis that provides them an internal abstract form of life. It is a geographical, mineral, colossal kind of life, based on elements which are extremely inhospitable to biological existence."

Post effects were created in house at Mathematic using 3D Maya, After FX and real flow.

Some lovely new additions to our on going side project of reinventing the Mathematic logo. Jean Michel who we worked with for Societe Generale and just recently for a project for TF1 and Intermarché has given us the following ...'A Mathematic Story'...Check out more of Jean-Michel's glorious work on his website.

A psychedelic experiment involving beer, the mexican desert and a bit of crazy 3D. Animation is with courtesy of Manu Dufaure and the music was composed by our very own Mathieu Gastaldi...enjoy

A little experiment using our brand spanking new Canon 5D Mark II camera. Guillaume, Fred and Gill shot the entire film one wet night on the Paris streets. The starring actor is French musician Leeroy whose music, which also features in the film, was the inspiration behind the project.

The film follows a slightly alchoholic taxi driver as he picks up a host of strange passengers on a typical night run.

He is friendly we promise...Our main idea with 'Snake' was to create a sort of short film around the theme : virtual motion elements in real spaces, a relationship between real materials and places.

The test was created using still frames of New York City and integrating the animation with 3D.

A little test we did for Bouygues...
