The Little Big World of Coraline

I’ve always been fascinated by stop motion movies.

After one of my friends (Lorenzo Rugiati) participated in the creation of one of them (“Morte di Marat”), telling me the (long) time and (tremendous) effort needed to realize even one single short scene, I can only bow to the creators of Coraline.

The amazing amount of details put on the creation of every single character and the evolution of them in the movie is really something! I heartily recommend all of you to take a look at this wonderful movie (surely one of the best after “nightmare before Christmas”).
So be sure to watch the short movie “Morte di Marat” and read this really interesting blog post about the making of Coraline, taking your time to watch all the behind-the-scenes clips.

… and beware of the other-mother!! o_o

Rounded Ico modular kirigami

I’ve recently found this interesting site talking about 3d puzzles and I decided to adapt the wooden version of this Ico to paper, making it a modular kirigami, I’ve slightly modified it rounding the edges of the slim modules! very funny to make!!

made with blue cardboard, 20 triangles and 30 round sections.

FUNctions!

Playing with math functions is always a pleasure and try to get the function you want by adjusting it step by step is very nice…or maybe only cause I’m a geek!…

I’ve recently discovered that with javascript it’s possible to write scripts for Adobe Photoshop, so armed with my trusted notepad2 I’ve written a script to plot parametric 2d functions. you can see some examples below:

If you want the script, feel free to contact me at lorenzo.marchi [at] gmail.com.

…and stay tuned for a nice use of this function
