FriendFeed vs. SocialThing! is the new HD vs. BluRay, Beta vs. VHS. With my limited knowledge of both, I’m going to make a prediction that FriendFeed will come out on top, leaving a very limited number of SocialThing! users who will cry into their corn flakes every morning as they aggregate their feeds on the one social networking platform everyone seemed to like, know was better, and adopted early (they even gave VC to the project), yet did not adopt. Why the war?
Competition is the Web 2.5.

]]> For the independent Ethiopian feature film, it was decided that the thematic content of the film should be incorporated into an animation that would encapsulate the ideas of the plot into a unified piece.
Taking the film’s focus on coffee, immigration, soccer, and most of all, Ethiopia, Fringe Design created a coffee shop menu as its predominating backdrop, animating credit elements over top using After Effects and Photoshop as the primary vehicle for the creation of the piece.
The animation was output to 2k HD resolution for an eventual final output to HD-Cam master.

]]> Lavinia’s Heist, a short film by Don Goodman, is about an older woman who decides to hold up a cafe in order to get sent to jail so her son will visit her more often. The director wanted the feeling of the title sequence to match the visual tone of the film, having a vintage (but not antique) feel, and utilizing some elements from the film.
The title sequence was animated in 2k HD to match with the rest of the film master.
