/Annuli – Double-Blind No.2 nominated for 2020 Motion Awards

November 5 2020

Motionographer, renowned online Motion Graphics networking platform, nominated the second Double-Blind Experiment for a 2020 Open Format – Experimental Motion Award. 

Double Blind No.2  is one of four nominees for this year’s Open Format -Experimental Award. The winner will be announced on 10th December at The Motion Awards LIVE Virtual Event. The LIVE event will stream from the Motion Awards website.

What are The Double-Blind Experiments? 

The Double-Blind Experiments is a collective of VFX artists and motion designers with diverse creative backgrounds including visual effects, animation, filmmaking, photography, illustration and graphic design. Following the success of Double-Blind No.1, 15 artists and 3 sound designers, mostly from Cutting Edge or talented freelancers who often work with Cutting Edge, collaborated to create the second edition of this experiment.

The sound designers crafted a bed of eclectic sound and composition which was then cut into clips of varying lengths before being randomly distributed to the artists.

For the artists, this experiment consisted of only two rules:

  1. Take inspiration from the randomly supplied sound clip.
  2. Create a visual representation of this sound, beginning and ending with a circle of a predetermined size… fill the space between two circles.

The result is this incredible addition to The Double-Blind Experiments.
