White Hot Grid

posted June 14, 2013 #

This animation, White Hot Grid, from Jess Igleheart is 80's nostalgia perfection. The official description says it best:
A brief experiment in 1980s commercial motion graphics, sampling what my young brain was indoctrinated with at the time: Robert Abel & Associates commercials, EPCOT Center promotion and New Wave nonsense.
The reference points are specific but it definitely feels like homage, not complete derivation. The VHS glitches are just the right amount - and so perfectly executed. Love it.
