Gravity by mrmama.tv

In this series of .gif’s (which you can see here, the files together were too large for tumblr!) mrmama.tv created an artwork for two environments, the gallery and the internet. Arek Nowakowski, a motion designer for the project, told us about Gravity. As he states,

“This is a variation on time and movement. A clash of various forces creates a visual performance that surrounds us every day. Gravity is one of these forces and looking at the achieved pictures we have a feeling that everything is immersed in it, like an insect immersed in amber. I decided to stop a very dynamic situation in order to have access to those moments that pass too quickly to have a good look at them. AnimGifs are such ambers with frozen moments in which we were immersed.”

But how does it work? By using the time slice technique, the group took shots and then spun them in an endless loop using .gif’s. The end result is that the subjects appear to be flying in circles. But the images are not on par with the final project, so see them in full here.

Matt DiVito
The works of Matt DiVito, a motion graphics designer from Boston, have exploded on tumblr over the past couple of months. His .gifs have a mesmerizing quality that calm and inspire. When asked about these works, he responded,
“Making .gifs evolved from a practice I got into of making short animations as a way to experiment with new styles and techniques. Compared to video, gifs seem to be better suited to showcasing very short animations with the added benefit of endless looping.I tend to think of my gifs as a viewport into a strange alternate universe where everything is just a bit more geometric and retro. They’re meant to inspire a sense of mystery, intrigue and nostalgia.” 
Currently, DiVito spends his time working on motion graphics for various clients. “Beyond that, I’m really interested in game design and have been brainstorming and looking for collaborators for a new game project.” From what we’ve seen of his graphics online, that’d be the most visually appealing video game ever. 
Though it’s no surprise that his .gifs have taken over the net, DiVito describes the process as unreal. As he states, the response has been “certainly well beyond what I hoped for when I started making .gifs. It’s honestly a very validating feeling to have so many people connecting with your own personal style. “
When asked about where he hopes to be in the future, DeVito is excited to work in other areas. “I’d love to be in a position where I could spend all (or at least the vast majority) of my time working on personal projects. I already mentioned my interest in game design, but in my lifetime I’d also love to make movies, apps, music, and whatever else the future may bring. In the meantime, I suppose I’ll keep making .gifs - see where it takes me.”
