Saul Bass and Taelim Oh, Animators


As I'm sorting through all these reels of present day animators for projects I need collaborators on, with all their super high tech bells and whistles, was having a Saul Bass appreciation moment. He was such the shit! Even this piece, but especially all the work he did with Hitchcock... and yeah it was the era, the music, the movies themselves... but in this piece, wonderfully efficient, simple and kinda sick and comic. Saul Bass.

Also found this great piece by a recent SVA grad. The end credits are what triggered my thoughts of Saul. But love the messaging. The story is poignantly visualized and conveys the dangers of narratives we repeat through the generations. The thinking of the masses. Fantastic.
