* outstanding work from studios, freelancers and students
* feature stories that give readers a closer look at influential studios and individuals
* commentary that sparks discussion or introspection about the creative process
* miscellaneous items that Motionographer contributors find interesting
The site is a hub for digital astronauts and creative lens types, and is filled with top 10 lists of companies within sectors of creative industries, tutorials across a multitude of software and applications, forums and blogs to share and question, as well as a clear, defined, positive philosophy and ethos that is socially acceptable.
The site it self is clean and easy to use, seemingly with functionality and ergonomics working in harmony with aesthetical prowess. A really useful and interesting website.

Eye Fatique - Live VJ Collective - Berlin
Music is a generator of energy and emotions to support this generator is our task...
Started 2005 in Rostock.
Work your eyes watching (like work your muscles dancing)
Their visuals are about mixing up a synergy of sound and picture. like one and one makes a better one. So working with sound as the sound works with them, like it makes the finger press the right button at the right time, feeds in the best bomb for the bass. They want to enhance the experience of music by picturing the sound. support, respect, multiply.
monotony is boring and so with eye fatigue no show is like the next. thousands of possibilities lie in the mix and remix of their compositions which they create with graphics, typography, illustrations and video. They bring our material together live on stage, and they dont - for reasons of creativity - work with technical beat synchronisation tools. They build our films along the tracks of rhythm naturally.

Little white lies -
This company is a paper based and online 'zine' that uses blogs, film reviews, photography, interviews, t.v.spots, search engines for information on films and an online store that sells prints, t-shirts, magazines etc... It also is just a great site for just indulging in peoples self righteous opinions about film and industry. The interesting thing about Little white lies is its ability to transcend platforms. It informs, promotes positive creative culture and demonstrates a level of open source aesthetic as well as establishing it self through blogs and feeds, but it also sells a consumable product.

Looking at different companies has already increased my awareness of the potential there is to move into after and or during the course. Its good to be politely pushed into thinking about industry as it still feels like its in a dreamed up future. ......///...//./././././............/////
