A partner in the field of design, Ether Workshop is a design shop located in East Nashville. I put this version of the site together for Ether Workshop at the begining of 2008. The site can currently be seen at etherworkshop.com.

Every so often I will come across a piece of work that blows my mind, rarely does this happen with student work. Reza Dolatabadi took two years to painstakingly create over 4000 painted images and then animated them to produce this short film. The running scene is fantastically done, and the splatters and texture really bring it to life.

Although I originally thought these were hand painted pieces, in reading the comments on the viemo post, I discovered that they were all digitally created. He also created the pieces over 3d rendered scenes. While this may take away from the finished piece for some people, in a project of this scope you need a blueprint to work around in my opinion. I feel like if he did not go this route; colors, perspectives, and styles would become a mush that did not work in the way the artist intended.

At any rate check out the video it is a very inspiring piece of work.

A site put together for Dream Systems LLC, a company that sells and sets up audio visual rooms for businesses. Unfortunetly the site was never finished and may never come to fruition, which leaves me a little dissapointed because I do like the design of the site very much.
