How Schools Kill Creativity....An Interesting...
Thought I would share this, an interesting presentation on how schools don’t foster creativity very well and why. http://getdirty.mudbrickcreative.com/?p=264 Paul Benninghove Jr. Designer & Chief Rocka email: paul@mudbrickcreative.com http://www.mudbrickcreative.com “MudBrick Creative, we design, you succeed.” Posted via email from Paul’s...

A Little Bit of Style for Your Monday Morning
Thought I’d share this little gem I found in my travels through the interweb, very cool piece done using some 3D tied to Grafitti. Enjoy!

Starting to Feel UnrealEd Again!
Well I’m starting to feel like the UnrealEd skills are flooding back. They changed up some of the ways things are done in UnrealEd 3 but it’s not real far off. Continued learning on weekends/evenings/lunches will get me back to a point where I can help lead a team to do some kickass level design and maybe get a little bit of recognition for all parties involved. Some stuff I really enjoy...
One More Piece of Inspiration
On a day full of inspiration I thought I’d add just a little bit more. This CGT piece was done by a designer out of Azerbaijan and I just thought it had to get a little more pimping because it is Fan-Freakin-Tastic. Be sure to watch this one beginning to end, you will be amazed one guy can direct, CG, Effects and render this stuff himself. 105 days of work and worth every minute! Paul...
Creative Inspirtation
I personally love when I get to see a company do incredibly creative work and deliver visuals that even I can’t figure out how the hell they did it. In this demo reel by one of the best visual effects companies in the world we get to see a montage of some of the most impressive and stylistic creative work I’ve seen in a while. Be sure to watch it the whole way through, truly impressive stuff. ...
MudBrick Creative Delivers for 6 Month Smiles
One of our latest projects to hit the creative afterburner has been 6MonthSmiles.com. Six Month Smiles™ is an alternative to the usual metal braces used to fixing miss-aligned teeth. Six Month Smiles™ utilizes clear braces to gently straighten teeth in an average time of only six months! By focusing on the teeth that show when you smile and not making significant bite changes, your dentist can...

Very Cool Video Effect
Just thought I’d share these with everyone. A unique style of video production using what looks like a combination of stop motion and multi track camera’s with some CGI to get a very stylistic look. Totally awesome stuff and worthy of a blog post to show off what could be a very unique replacement for the old school Bullet Time. Posted via email from Paul’s...

Now This is Sexy
This application requires a facebook login to get into. You realize after you login why that is, the video is composited from facebook profile info on the fly from your profile. Very cool use of technology and cross promotion with Facebook may start to be much more common. http://www.prototype-experience.com/ Definitely check this out. Paul Benninghove Jr. Designer...

Some Friday Coolness and Ninja's to Boot
Just saw the trailer for this new flick in some Comic Con articles. This one is by the brothers who brought us the Matrix flicks and looks pretty sweet so I thought I’d pass it along. Also you’ll see the movie poster for it which I’ll be adding to the wall next to my desk at some point for sure. Paul Benninghove Jr. General Manager / Lead Designer Ph:...
I'm Nostalgic, What Can I Say?
I know a lot of people are probably shaking their heads and wondering why anyone would go to the live action GI Joe flick. Well I’m here to say I’ll be there when it opens. I grew up on GI Joe as a kid and as an adult, anything that takes you back is a good thing usually. Just to share some of what may be at the same time the cheesiest and coolest flick of the year, here’s the latest...

MudBrick's Upgrading it's Look
Look for a new look from MudBrick early next week. Our new site is still in production but we have a very sexy interim taste for everyone that will go live early next week. In the meantime I thought I’d share a blog design we did during our initial blog redesign phase that was hot but maybe a little too edgy for some of our customers. Still we like to show some style every once in a...
Troeg's Concept That Didn't Make the Grade
Thought I’d share some design coolness that didn’t get chosen by the customer but would have been a different flavor for their new site either way. This design would have been a one-page site (vertical scrolling) using JavaScript to scroll between nav sections and subnav content. This would have been a very unique build for us using our CMS 4Site (http://www.4sitecms.com) compared to...

Impressive Use of 3d Engine in FLash
Some very cool demo work here of Alternativa 3d Flash engine. We are getting closer and closer to the possibility of real time 3d rendered interactive environments and possibly FPS games in the browser window that will work at a reasonable framerate. http://alternativaplatform.com/en/demos/bunker-fp10/ Paul Benninghove Jr. Designer & Chief Rocka email:...
Allow Me to Add Some Awesomeness To Your Day
As stated above, allow me to add some awesomeness to your day. This was a trailer that ran during the new Transformers flick, looks quite interesting and kick ass! Enjoy!

Our Design Pimped
One of our design wizards just brought to my attention that the design we did for the Harrisburg BarCamp has some primary placement on the Axis Apparel website. We did two separate shirt designs for this event and both are in their samples gallery. Both came out cool but pricey using Axis for the screen printing. http://www.axisca.com/gallery.html Paul Benninghove Jr....
Music Without Lables.com Picks Up Some Steam
Our latest project, Music Without Labels.com has picked up some steam after the South Park Music Tour this month. With over 80 bands performing and industry pro’s all over the place, MWL’s founder, Dante Cullari, was chosen to be a panelist/featured speaker to discuss the industry and where it’s headed. Since MWL has seen spikes in traffic and has had 12 new bands signup to take part in...

This is Awesome
Can I just say how insanely cool this is? Stylistic, fun and the animation piece is killer. Don’t know if we’ll ever see it on TV but it’s a killer ad. -Paul Paul Benninghove Jr. General Manager / Lead Designer Ph: 717.234.0330 cell: 717.487.1301 email: paul@mudbrickcreative.com http://www.mudbrickcreative.com Posted via email ...
Designs that Didn't Make the Cut
We thought we’d share with everyone some of the design concepts we did for our internal redesign project that just didn’t quite make the cut. We went through a fairly extensive process until we finally hit the design we’re in production on now. Many concepts were awesome, but just not quite the look and or branding we had in mind for what MudBrick Creative is all about. Some of those...
MudBrick Delivers for the GottaPea's
When you need a viral video and you want something funny and well thought out, MudBrick is the team. With a limited timetable we delivered this video for GottaPea. MudBrick Creative handled all video art direction, editing and post production to give the customer a piece to use at trade shows and online. The project was fun as part of it was shot in a junkyard and part in a local TV...
Music Without Labels - Rails Project
Screenshot of our latest Rails project, MusicWithoutLabels. This one uses the Youtube API and ties in a Rails CMS for some basic content handling to our design. Very fun project.
