[Duracelpupu]

[INGLEPARK]

I wish that was bank note instead of animation frames.

[JoshTheDrummer69]

Wow, what's with all the Illuminati symbols?

[Zareste]

go to 0:49 to see who's sponsoring this

[240SSONLY]

@Zareste lol i was looking for it since the beginning... the all seeing eye... hahhaa

[artifactingreality]

I rate this video at Design Currency 0 for conveying ideas in the most convoluted and visually displeasing way possible.

[sEweron]

@artifactingreality

Totally agreed, it's not worth the eye strain.

[NAIMSTYLE]

@sEweron sorry I Voted Down by mistake... totally agree with your comment! Cheers!

[scriptedBug]

recycled or not... it's still an idea that is wasting too much paper.

[nidvoraev]

гениально

[PixmacUS]

This is great!

[bramtyr]

Very clever design. I should try to go to this conference.

[brongracz]

So much papar wasted! And I lost concentration after 5 sec.

[markbusse]

@brongracz It was all recycled paper and the printed bills are being recycled during the conference in numerous clever ways. A shame you lost concentration so soon....wait, what? Oooooh look, shiny!

[colopaulx]

ho! muy pero muy bueno

[howie666]

[TidalAudioWave]

@lifeneedslemons

I'm the composer and sound designer for this video. I have posted the complete track to Youtube. It's titled "Tidal Audio Money Counter"

[lifeneedslemons]

@TidalAudioWave awesome - loving your work :)

[Md2802]

@TidalAudioWave Beautiful work. Loved the "Roll With Me" video aswell. I am so jealous!

[lifeneedslemons]

Brilliant! Love the concept & execution, really nice dollar bill look at the end very sharp & cool!

whats is this 4chan!? youtube is a terrible environment to showcase design work... some people...

[joyrok]

i want to go to vancouver now (-_-)

[TheBicycleman]

word!

[monochromed]

What i meant was that they didnt draw on the paper and then flipped it through the money counter - the made the animation in the computer, printed them out on the cards and then flipped it through the counter. This is just too easy to do - its not about the idea - its about how its done...

[lookitsmematt]

@monochromed:

Some of the most iconic posters are just type and geometric shapes. Does that make good design "too easy"?

The designers evidently decided to push for a more polished look rather than a hand drawn look. Neither production style is inherently "better," it's about what is more appropriate for conveying the message.

[toddsmithdesign]

@monochromed If you think that this was easy to create, we did our job perfectly. The fact of the matter is that our teams came up with a unique concept, created custom elements to satisfy the brief, animated the assets in different ways, printed them out and animated them again. You're welcome to attempt the same thing; but for this concept, we satisfied the brief and had a lot of fun in the process. To the majority of our viewers the message a lot more important than how we did it.

[fighterdude83]

@monochromed

hey you think you can do better then do it.. other wise don't complain.. SHUT THE FUCK UP SON and remember these wise words. DONT HATE ELEVATE

[monochromed]

Sorry guys but i think its kind of lame, they just made an animation in Flash or whatever, printed it out and let it flip through the machine...idea is good but with real hand animation this would be a lot nicer... imho

[Emdoubleyu]

@monochromed You're missing the basic concept behind the video. The conference is all about design currency and the value of design. The animation is done on a money counter. Make sense now?

[mikat33]

Good work!! And I think Design Currency is a great theme for Icograda Conference. I'm interested in knowing how they can come up with convincing arguments about the value of design.

[dosozin]

what a waste on printing.

[plastik892]

Likely no more than your average, busy office center goes through in 1-2 minutes but far and away better quality in design and planning. On the scale of things an utterly insignificant, renewable expenditure.

[pipidos2]

Shit

[iraszl]

Nice work indeed! :)

[gdcbc]

Not convinced that we shot 2218 custom printed bills as stop motion animation?

The proof is in the photos—go find the Flickr set called "designcurrency2010"

[BMcRaeC]

Totally awesome! I simply can't believe this wasn't computer-trickery; really flip-book animation for this? Very impressive!

[CIWIBCIT]

Wow. That is really impressive. Hats off to whoever put this together.

[yhuangj1]

Wow Todd, great work! :D

[toddsmithdesign]

@yhuangj1 Wasn't only me, this project wouldn't have gotten off of the ground if not for the great concept/identity done by Rethink... as well as the countless hours on set with Giant Ant Media. It was too much fun to make!

[holly2233]

Wow 5+. Good work!

[gdcbc]

Thank you to Rethink, Giant Ant Media and Wave Productions for producing this promo animation short in support of Design Currency: Icograda Design Week in Vancouver 2010.

Great job expressing the conference theme in video!

[markbusse]

Amazing job! What a great conceptual way to capture the notion of design's value in the form of a currency!

Totally love the animation, though I'm glad I don't have epilepsy! Warning: risk of seizure! :-)

[TheClayGenius]

great work.

[spark32uk]

Just beautiful.

[StormInk]

This is awesome! Makes me wanna get a money counter to try animating on it... Much cooler than the normal flipbook.

[KEVINKEVINKEVINWWW]

What design shop did this?

It's great.
