Moore’s law states that every two years, technology doubles in power. This principle can be seen in several areas including video production, where for the first time, the worlds of consumer electronics and professional production are colliding. Perhaps the most significant development in bringing top quality video to the masses was Canon’s decision to support video shooting in its prosumer SLRs. This feature means that all the control of photography, including depth-of-field and interchangeable lenses are now available for far less than the tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars such effects would cost prior.
Companies have sprung up selling accessories to support early adopting professionals. Oishii has itself picked up camera rigs like the one in the video above. It is now possible to shoot many projects faster, better and cheaper than ever before. Part of our philosophy is to constantly watch emerging tools and trends and look for opportunities to bring them to our clients’ projects.

What can we say, Mocap is awesome! from Oishii Creative on Vimeo.
As many of you know, this technology helps to create more natural, realistic movement for CG characters… so we decided to try out and see who / what was out there and partnered with a studio that uses the PhaseSpace Motion Capture System. This cutting-edge mocap process relies on LEDs instead of old school reflective “ping pong balls,” resulting in killer raw data that is so precise, very little clean up is necessary, capturing even the most subtle motions like breathing. Not only that, this system is the same system used by the U.S. military, often “in the field”… now how cool is that? They also have a CG scanner we can’t wait to use!

Type has always been something rigid. We chose from a few steps of weight. Type is either serifed or san-serifed. Italic is either on or off. This experimentation opens the door to typographic control as an open spectrum. We now have thousands of weights, serifs can subtly grow from san-serif type. This experiment opens the door to an infinitely wide space of possibilities.
Even more interesting is the marriage of these variables to interactivity. Type can get bolder as people walk by or in response to loud noises. The possibilities are endless. There is an interactive sample you can try here.
