The Mesmerizing, Strange Animations of More and More

  More and More, a London-based design studio, strives to create 3D imagery and video that has both a “distinctive and unexpected tone of voice.” Launched just last year by Carl Burgess and Tom Darracott, the studio breathes life and realistic motion into inflatable characters, delicate fur, and other uncommon material. The group even mesmerizes with a golden ribbon, piling onto itself.

More and More has this to say on its daily charge: “Utilizing new technologies to create forward looking visual communication, the philosophy is to unify design, production and direction under one roof to produce the most responsive and effective work.”

This means relationships with brands like Prada, Nike, Mercedes Benz, Chanel, H&M, and several other high-profile companies. Using Instagram, the studio gives demos on its capabilities, even within a few seconds of unexpected motion. Even what appears to be some kind of meat missle seems to have the inflatable properties of other objects in the More and More factory. This kind of surprising action falls in line with several of the group’s other short clips.

Japanese product producers Maywa Denki were featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 3. "Maywa Denki demonstrate product like surgeons, operating sounds on their nonsense machines seemingly made out of a mixture of the carcasses of animals, people, old-time diving suits, scissors, and acoustic guitars..." People always want to know if their products really work and what they sound like, so here are two informative videos to knock on your mind.

Whether as still portraits or in motion, the mutants and forms created by Erik Ferguson are disconcerting in their realistic textures. The artist moves between high-profile and personal project, working on the likes of Guardians of the Galaxy and live performances for Rihanna. With assignments like album artwork for The Horrors, the artist's own sensibilities come through even more.
Colin Raff’s “Perturbatorium” is a collection of unsettling animations and collage work. Recalling the work of Max Ernst or Terry Gilliam, the work has a particular movement because of his “step-frame animation” method. The animations are rooted in Raff's photo-collage work, which he has described as having "distinct 20th c. antecedents (Heartfield, Ernst, Höch, etc.)."
In the documentary short "Hollywood Dreams," the work of Victor Castillo comes to life, with his paintings animated and the artist experimenting with motion in a new way. Crafted by Loica filmmakers, the short also blends 3D animated characters with live backdrops. The result hints at what Castillo calls his “‘strange hybrid world,’ where his unconventional past brings him to distinctive artistic conclusions.” Castillo was featured in the exhibition Turn the Page: The First 10 Years of Hi-Fructose and the Hi-Fructose Collected 4 Box Set.
