Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Over break, I went on a TV/Movie watching frenzy. One movie i watched was "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". Last time I saw this movie, I thought it was amazing. Seeing it again in terms of motion graphics, I am in awe of how they could make Brad Pitt look so damn old and fragile turn him to look like he's 15.

After watching this video on how the makings of the movie, I realized graphic design is some really complicated stuff. But once you get on that level, you can do so much cool things its amazing.

Old Spice | Questions

A series of commercials that I feel is very underrated in the sense of animation, are the old spice commercials.  Throughout the entire series of these commercials, there is a man who is constantly changing the scene which he is in and what he is doing.  When you think about it, these commercials and the animation that must go into them are quite impressive.  When analyzing it closer I can only imagine that there must be a lot of chroma keying on either green screens or blue screens.  The most intriguing aspect for me though is the water.  At times it is very hard to distinguish between animated water and real water (if they are even using either of the two).  The reason tat I find this soo amazing is because of my experiences with animated water before, most of which you can tell is fake.  Over all, these commercials really are fantastic and deserve recognition for what they are doing here.
