Prepare yourself for the most massive Stash ever. Clocking in at over two hours, Stash 56 packs a 70-minute main program, an exclusive interview with Dstrukt and Hecq courtesy of Designflux, six more brilliant films from PSST3!, 10 killer MP3s from Squeak E Clean plus 17 minutes of insightful Behind the Scenes features.

This inspiration gorge-athon ramps up with a first course of frozen 3D alien carnage for PSP Resistance from Visual Art in Stockholm then spills out in all directions: Lobo is here with their hard-hitting history lesson in violence for Amnesty International; then BlackGinger lightens the mood with their mastery of dancing headlights for Honda; Superfad pushes info-graphics to the next level for Sprint; Psyop stages a gladiatorial battle in corrugated cardboard for UPS, the all-German team of Velvet and Black Mountain conjure a magical aquarium for Visa; Beijing’s One Production reveal the eco-disasters looming in China’s country side; and Digital Domain re-teams with the Oscar-winning crew of “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” for Lexus.

Meanwhile, the broadcast and title design trolley pulls up serving Strukt’s new titles from the Toca Me Design Conference, Ben West’s delightful character work for Foxtel’s Max 2 channel, Pool Worldwide’s off-kilter flipbook juxtapositions for Cult and Topix’s atmospheric open for the First Boards Awards then rolls away to reveal a clean and inviting glimpse of near-future tech for Microsoft from Seattle’s Oh, Hello and a pristinely crafted look inside Red Bull’s new F1 race car from Aixsponza.

Music-driven projects on Stash 56 get a jump-start with Crystal Method “Drown in the Now” rendered in stark and snowy shadows by UVPhactory, then swerve around the exploding skateboarders of UNKLE’s “Heaven” from Spike Jonze, N.A.S.A.’s “People Tree” from Syd Garon and Johannes Gamble and James Hunter’s “Carina” from Toronto’s Solis Animation before slamming head-on into Aaron Stewart’s absolutely crazed “Bloody Band Aidz” project.

Two ends of the gaming spectrum get there due this issue with Halo Pictures helping Nathan Jurevicius take his Scarygirl franchise online and Axis Animation in Glasgow reinvigorating Sony’s Killzone franchise with an epic new CG trailer.

The final section of Stash 56 starts with a thorough palette cleansing from Stillking directing duo Wolfberg and their Alien-camp-noir viral for McDonalds then showcases work from Santa Monica’s Fusion CI and Aukland’s Department of Motion Graphics for Fonterra’s Whole water, Toronto’s Loki Visual Effects for LVMH Group, Parasol Island for Ikea, the latest work from Brooklyn’s Santa Maria, the breakout short film called “Escape from City 17” from the Purchase Brothers and closes with the surrealist WWII allegory titled “Yankee Gal” from four blindingly talented students at Supinfocom in France.

The BONUS FILMS on Stash 56 are the second set of six brand new works from PSST!3, the latest incarnation of Bran Dougherty-Johnson’s adventure in collaborative motion art.  Stash is pleased to present all 17 of the PSST!3 films spread over issues 55, 56 and 57.

The BONUS MUSIC on Stash 56 is a monster stack of 10 MP3s from white hot LA musician/producer Squeak E Clean including collaborations with Kanye West, Santogold and John Frusciante

The BEHIND THE SCENES line-up on 56 includes insightful features from Visual Art on PSP Resistance Retribution, BlackGinger on Honda “Let it Shine”, Spike Jonze on UNKLE’s “Heaven” music video, Solis Animation on James Hunter’s “Carina”, Department of Motion Graphics and Fusion CI on the Fonterra “Whole 30” spot and Loki Visual Effects on Wenjun “Formation Diamond”.
