ANIMATOR JAMES CURRAN KEEPS DAILY GIF DIARY ON 30-DAY TOKYO TRIP

Working Not Working April 24, 2017

ANIMATOR JAMES CURRAN KEEPS DAILY GIF DIARY ON 30-DAY
TOKYO TRIP


WNW Member James Curran is spending the month of April in Tokyo. And what better way for him to share his experiences than by employing his creative chops with an animated diary. He's documenting his daily whimsy and wonderment in the form of a Tokyo Gifathon, and animated James Curran looks like he's having the time of his life. Taking in so much of what Tokyo has to offer within the first 3 weeks, from arcades to the Bonsai Museum to Yoyogi Rockabillies to cat cafés, we can only imagine what activities Curran has planned for the home stretch. 

This isn't James's first foray into Gifathons. Here are his recaps of his time in Los Angeles and his time in New York.

VOTEGIF, A FUN WAY TO SHARE YOUR STATE'S REGISTRATION DEADLINE

VOTEGIF, A FUN WAY TO SHARE YOUR STATE'S REGISTRATION DEADLINE


Not sure when your state's voter registration deadlines is? Don't be ashamed of your ignorance. WNW Member Erica Gorochow has got you covered with VoteGIF. "Voter turn out in the USA is notoriously low. Since deadlines to register to vote aren’t federally standardized, it can be easy to accidentally miss the cut off. I personally think this is an acutely important election."

We personally agree, so head to VoteGIF, mark your calendars and strategically share with your friends whose political leanings sync up closely with yours.

WORK: THIS IS GIPHY

Working Not Working November 7, 2014

WORK: THIS IS GIPHY


WNW Members #1995 Mark Richard Miller & #2024 Dave Franzese are the mad scientists behind Dark Igloo. Last time we checked in on them, they had created The Greatest Board Game Never Made, basking in all of its 80s & 90s glory. Now, they're tackling the modern form of playtime, collaborating with Giphy. The video above is an introduction to the world of gifs, styled as a news report... and it's bananas. Dark Igloo tells us, "This was our first time putting a dog head on a human body. In a project filled with great moments, the newsroom set stands out: we stood an ipad up surrounded by small pieces of clear plastic to create the effect of an abstract, futuristic newsroom." Keep an eye out for Dave starring as "Trending Report Larry."

The gifs and images below take us on a gonzo odyssey through the branding and collateral developed for the news report, and for Giphy. "The big idea here was to bring gifs into the physical world, so all of the giphy business cards, stickers, and iphone cases feature lenticular holograms. It was an awesome opportunity to collaborate with some of our favorite gif artists (WNW Members #2697 Kyle Sauer, #2764 Julian Glander, & #1637 Tim Reynolds, and more)."
