3 years from the last redesign of The Ronin site designs for the next are underway! Peter Jaworowski of The Hejz is currently working on the interface and style so a big thank you to him and keep an eye out for the relaunch!

Just finished working with German based Scholz & Volkmer on the new Leica Cameras website. The new site makes heavy use of Flash and multiple perspective story telling. Shot entirely on location in Barcelona by Amsterdam based photographer Carli Hermes and then put together in After Effects combining stills with High Definition video in a very short time frame. Directed and animated by The Ronin, Art Direction and project lead by Carolina Cwiklinska, Audio by Hecq and all website development and design by S&V.

Finished this work for Hybrid Studio in LA at the end of November but was mega busy at the time so forgot to post it! I completed Intro and Outro Web page animations for the Alien vs Predator Requiem movie site using 20th Century Fox’s original photography. Audio by Hecq.

Last night (Dec 23) saw the Devoid of Yesterday “Christmas Party” at the newly set up “Ronin Retreat”. As last year we drank Jacks, discussed world domination, future projects and the almighty question what would Denzel do? Probably not slump in the living room sofas shooting random polaroids of the evening! Now all we need is a trip out to the moors to stand in the cold with our cameras like we have nothing better to do! We rock harder than last year!

It’s been a while since I worked straight through the night but this morning when I found myself alone at the office with a sunrise right outside my window I had to stop and take a quick snap to remind myself it’s time to go home!

Just got back from New York where myself and Chris both talked at the OFFF Conference and also presented the title sequence for the event. Filmed over 3 days in Manhattan and Brooklyn on HD DV, edited in Final Cut Pro, graded and post in After Effects and audio by the one and only Ben Lukas Boysen! Special thanks to all at Digital Kitchen for their support and for showcasing the piece at the NYC office launch party, a big thanks to Hector and the whole OFFF crew for inviting us over and asking us to do the piece and a very special thanks to everyone who attended our talk! Hope to see you all soon!

My good friend Robin Goode has been living in Torino Italy for the past few years working with his company Kut Comm. The time has come though for him to return to his South African roots and what better way to do it than to get Ducati Motorbike sponsorship and plan an eight month road trip taking him from Torino to Capetown via places such as Sarajevo - Istanbul - Damascus - Cairo - Ethiopia - Rwanda - Zimbabwe to name just a few! You can follow his trip over at his blog, Afrika Trek. Robin leaves today! Good luck dude and stay safe!

Next week I fly to NYC to speak at the OFFF conference in New York alongside my Devoid partner in crime Dstrukt. We are also currently working on the title sequence for the event which we shot earlier this month in Manhattan and Brooklyn so are quite amped about it! I am also speaking at the Flash on the Beach conference in Brighton UK a couple of days later so if you’re down that side of the UK maybe see you there! The above image is from my contribution to both the OFFF catalog and the FOTB book and postcards which will be available at the conferences! More news on the OFFF titles soon!

Making use of the Flangr application that uses Flickr accounts as a database to display photographs and images and created exclusively by one of the most talented typographers and designers I know.. Andreas Pihlström aka Suprb, I can now share some of my travels, experiences and loves outside of the Flickr interface. Enjoy. Thanx Andreas!

Blue. Everyday. Bruised from another place. Everyday takes grace. And the air’s still warm from a bullet in the wrong place. You’re still moving, I’m still wounded from the speed. Never leave. So free. I still stare from the glare of the last stare. Bruised from another place, everything takes grace and the air’s still warm…
