Digital Madness #01: A Mixture of Inspiration

Filed Under Inspiration by Paul on 04/07/10

This first edition of Digital Madness is a collection of short films, commercials and animations that I came across and thought it would be good to share the inspiration I got from these great clips. Continue to watch them!


My name is Paul Poppenburg and I am a Dutch graphic designer who specializes in poster design. Infictus.com was first created as my portfolio but was quickly turned into a Photoshop tutorial blog to help others who struggle with poster design.

Particle Collection by Matthias Müller

For someone who finished school just last year, Matthias Müller certainly knows a thing or two about creating jaw-dropping particle animations. Check out his Vimeo account for more eye candy!

The Third & The Seventh by Alex Roman

Believe it or not, the video below is completely CGI. In addition to the incredible animation, you might also be interested in the making-of and a nice break down video.

Adidas Originals – Star Wars Collection

This commercial shows how to combine the old and the new to get something wicked, also notice the cameo by a certain duo at the end of the clip.

The Space Chair Project

While this commercial looks very intriguing, it is also highly controversial. There are numerous claims on the web that the idea of this space chair project had already been made by artist Simon Faithfull back in 2004. It is unclear if he has been paid for the concept but both parties have not responded to the claims. A comparison between the two videos can be viewed here.

The Carousel by Adam Berg

This is a fantastic commercial directed by Swedish director Adam Berg. It has been said that the footage was shot in a single take which is pretty incredible seeing all the action that’s going on in this clip. The inspiration for this project comes  from the bank robbery scene from The Dark Knight which in turn was inspired by the 1995 film Heat. A short making-of can be viewed here.

Scintillation by Xavier Chassaing

An astounding compilation of more than 35.000 images, a great video with very haunting music so sit back and relax.
