  • Move

    Kinda great. And making me jonez for some airplane tickets (since I recognized more than a few of the backgrounds they were in from my own wanders).

    3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage

    You can check out there other two, Learn and Eat on their vimeo page, but I think I like Move best.

  • Be Human Remain Human

    I haven’t played any of the Deus Ex series, but hear about it all the time and have to say their new live action trailer promo for Deus Ex, ostensibly from a protest organization fighting against arbitrary human augmentation is, well… inspired. Instantly sucked me in. I imagine there is an entire online campaign around it since they have a site at Sarif Industries .

  • Remixing the Remix

    And speaking of remix, if you haven’t checked out the remixes by 17 year old mix-master Madeon, you probably should. He apparently can even mix live if this video isn’t just tongue in cheek . Anyhow, someone finally synced the videos of all the songs he used to the audio he produced to give you this (yes, remixing the remix).

    Pretty damn fine actually. Wonder how it’ll run at the gym.

  • This is the Remix

    Copy. Transform. Combine. Everything is a Remix .

    The act of creation is surrounded by a fog of myths.

    The whole series is super interesting and well done (though does make you realize how many revered artists “ripped off” heavily) so do check it out if you get a chance. Even better, episode four is still to be completed so kickstart Kirby some cash so he can finish it. It’s a pretty interesting foursome and the guy definitely deserves your support.

  • Cook like Hitchcock

    Cute and well animated how to cook like Hitchcock short in cookbook form. Lots of “in” references to the films. Great animation though felt the “story” could have been better but pretty impressive for a student project.

  • Try Something New for 30 Days

    I endorse this message.

    For all those people who keep wondering how I keep seeming to do all those new things, this is very close to my secret (or a very similar approach). Try to turn something new into a habit… Changing my diet? Exercising regularly? Living on 80%? A cultural outing every month? Epic birthdays? Write an app? All started like this. Actually, loving this idea for the novel writing one alone (cause i need to get a script and short done.).

  • The Southern Ocean Sky

    Besides being an incredible piece of work, this video really shows how beautiful the night sky is when you get out of the cities here in Australia. Seriously, I don’t think, outside of the deep woods in Canada, I’ve ever seen so many star as I did when I was at Uluru and in Tasmania.

    Yet another one to put on HD, darken the room and turn the speakers up. Oh, and I hope you’re checking this out @catscram.

  • Plot Device

    This is fantastic. Hilarious short which is ostensibly an ad for Red Giant a video effects package (hell, I’d buy it on the strength of this vid alone.). So great if you can actually do this all with the package. Check it out.

    Still working on getting the script written and looking at getting a HeroPro for the short shooting next week.

  • Anatomy of a Virus

    Besides the fact this is an utterly fantastic animation, you should be scared of the first code weapon that’s successfully struck a blow, destroying centrifuges at Iran’s nuclear facilities. Who’s responsible? Who knows?… but the fact it’s now available for just about anyone to dissect and redesign is something that should be of concern to everyone. Check out the video.

  • The Curfew: Games for Change

    Haven’t played it all the way through yet, but kinda impressed with the start of The Curfew which was featured (and won Best Educational) at the Games for Change Festival . Besides the fact it represents a scarily possible England (seriously, when I lived there, there were “report on your neighbour” posters up).

    The production values are high and the scenario not entirely implausible. Check it out. Let me know what you think. Too heavy handed? Too simplistic? Is it playable or did you get bored easily? Is it compelling? And, most importantly, how would you have made it better?
