Just came across the wonderful work of Japanes motion designer Abe Shingo. Abe Shingo is director at Tokyo based motion graphic studio W0W. What is really interesting in his work is work is the use of light, as you can see below in his short movie ‘Ray’. Very often W0W and Shingo like to use ‘dirty’ urban city light, which makes it interesting from a lighting design point of view. The animations transform the ordinary urban lighting to a dynamic poetic idea. This gives very interesting contrast by the ‘real’ light and ‘imaginary’ in the films of W0W and Shingo. The You tube channel of W0W and Abe Shingo is definitely worth a look! previous entry on W0W.
