Here’s a new promo video for Xsights, an app that performs “mobile visual search.” The app was created by a team in Israel, and so was the promo video. The guys at Circus Animations designed it and Mysh and Mashko directed.
On August 1st of this year, two men were shot and killed by a masked gunman and ten others were injured at the Gay Community Center in Tel Aviv. The killer wasn’t caught, and the resulting shockwaves in Tel Aviv and around the world are still reverberating. Subsequently, support rallies were held in a number of cities, including Vancouver, Berlin, Washington D.C., Los Angeles and Boston.
And more recently, Israeli artist Mysh, along with two animators, Dror Davidovich and Udi Asoulin, created this short film as a reaction to the incident. It’s titled Scary Fear.
The founders of The Missing Link, Oren Mashkovski, Mysh and JP Vine, have teamed up with the online photo application PicApp to produce this Flash-animated promo. PicApp allows bloggers and content publishers to pick from millions of premium, legal images and use them on your site for free. I’ve inserted a photo of Adobe headquarters in this post so you can see how it looks.
The Jewish New Year is now a few days behind us, but we’ll continue the celebration with Guy Harlap’s Flash-animated short. It’s titled Shana Tova, which is the traditional greeting during the celebration. It translates to “for a good year.”
Israeli animator Guy Harlap animated this opener for the upcoming 2009 Tel Aviv Animation Festival, which is run by ASIFA Israel. Harlap was joined by Itamar Daube on the design animation of the piece.
