Maxim Zhestkov is a 22 year old director and designer from Ulyanovsk, Russia. He loves the universe, infinity, black and white, space and long walks on the beach. Very impressive 3d experiments and some pretty cool toys coming out from Kaching Brands…

And for you 3d tech geeks out there, from what I can gather from his Flickr comments, he is using 3DS Max with V-ray and some Next Limit RealFlow magic to make these. Very impressive use of all three packages…

Fightstar just released their new single, Floods and along with it comes a pretty impressive video where London is sent sinking underneath giant waves. While London is a great place most of the time, I can easily understand how images of thousands of liters of water swallowing it up whole could seem like a nice thought once in a while. At first I thought they’d robbed a bank to afford the cgi, but apparently it is from the $30 million blockbuster Flood.

 Once in a while there comes a time when you get a bit bored with seeing the same stuff redone in motion graphics, and then a video like Pierre Michel’s ”Fire” comes along and blows your mind entirely away. This is mostly due to its sheer simplicity, but ok, I’ll be honest, it’s probably because fire is awesome.Fire is available in HD too…
