D-Fuse

D-Fuse have been around for a while, but that's no reason not to sing the praises of this collective of London based artists. Their explorations of live audiovisual performance, mobile media, web, print, art and architecture, TV and film, have been shown all over the world. A good place to start is with the stunning 'Data Flow' (see projects area.)

Behind The Scenes of Campaignin'

This is a pretty cool video from a pretty cool company that really seems to put a lot of effort into their work. I know it sounds weird but they are an e-card company. I was fairly impressed with this video and then was blown away with how much production goes into their movies. They put up a full production blog that shows what it really takes to make these.

National Television

We all know National Television and I could be wrong here, but I believe this is a fairly new site and update. The site seems to have been done by the lovely Loyal and as always the work of National is what happens when the concept and the design are as good as the motion itself.

Bitstate: Bleep vs. Blorf

Hi-Res!

Well there are some news regarding Hi-ReS! , they have updated their website with some high quality work as usual and Mr Doob have joined them, so expect even more impressive work for the upcoming months.

Animatorio

Really cool motion work by the Brazilian studio named Animatorio. They are still quite young but already got some very nice projects on their account - be sure to check them all.

Nervo VS Zune

Nando Costa and Nervo's team just released this stunning branding package for Zune, very in the feeling of experimental animation exploring diverse techniques but all CG generated, they also created the music. So beautiful pieces you can dig here.
Check also some early and making off material in their Flickr.
