HER MORNING ELEGANCE
OREN LAVIE



One of the most creative uses of stop-motion animation I've seen in a long time.

THREE LEGGED LEGS
PIECE OF ME, PIECE OF YOU



Puppets normally don't do much for me but these cats did a great job. I'd recommend checking out their creative process at their SITE



AERONAUTIC DESIGN




ULTIMATE FLYING MACHINE
IconA5



Sweet "Light-Sport Aircraft" designed by an ex F-15 fighter pilot and a skateboarder with a $139,000 price tag. With just 40 hours ($10,000) of flight lessons you're certified to fly this small plane as the creators claim is the easiest plane you'll ever learn to operate.

PHOTOGRAPHY



BRUNO DAYAN
PHOTOGRAPHER



It's always great to see a photographer explore the full color spectrum in their work. International fashion photographer Bruno Dayan hones this craft most skillfully.

YOU ARE POWERFUL
AMNESTY


You Are Powerful from AlfredoSilva on Vimeo.

Amnesty International releases this powerful video. Lots of delicious CG composites.





VIDEO


MICROSOFT
FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE



So this little video by Microsoft is somewhat old but still a great insight into the future of Microsoft... mostly soon to be possible with their surface and projection technology. Good stuff.




BRANDING & MARKET RESEARCH


IDENTITY
STORIES BEHIND STUDIO LOGOS



This was a nice find and the historical data baffles me how these people dig this stuff up. At any rate, if you're interested in how studio logos came to be, click the link below.

DRAMBRUIE
MARKET RESEARCH



Just a funny video on market research conducted for a new drink in a remote part of Australia.

APPLE
3D OS?



Apple seems to be applying for patents towards a multidimensional interface... but who cares when you have Surface on its way right?

PHOTOGRAPHY INDUSTRY


CHRISTOPHE HUET
PHOTO RETOUCHER & COMPOSITER



Some amazing work coming from Christophe. His portfolio not only shows his works, but on some pieces shows you the incremental steps in his composite work.

GSPEAK
MINORITY REPORT INTERFACE


g-speak overview 1828121108 from john underkoffler on Vimeo.

Another closer attempt at a Minority Report type interface with multi-user interaction. The extraction of visual elements from plane to plane is really interesting... the nintendo power glove resurrected.

A student short film for Filmakademie.




TECHNOLOGY



NANOTECHNOLOGY
AUDITORY



This is simply amazing. This technology using microfibers 1/1000th the width of human hair can produce sound. This means we can now have fabrics that produce sound... that's right... fashion will soon produce music coming from the very things you wear.

Click the link below to watch a small flag produce sound.

AD CAMPAIGN


ALKA SELTZER
CAMPAIGN



Gotta love this clever campaign from BBDO for Alka Seltzer.

LAUNDRY

Buddy PJ Richardson and crew bring you a new reel from Laundry.

FLAS DESIGN - SOUND


IKEA
COME INTO THE CLOSET



This piece is so wacky, it kept me on the site longer than expected. The use of sound with flash to activate dance movements that mimic an epileptic breakdancer began to crack me up. It's nice to see sound permeate its way into the interactive space with a new approach.

iPHONE/TECH


VIDEO
CONVERTER/TRANSCODER



If you are ever in need of transcoding a video into several formats at once, this handly little online app does it for you... even encodes an iPhone compatible video format.

iPHONE
WALLS



Wallpapers for your iPhone... new walls uploaded every few days. These actually look nice.

THE SLEEPWALKER
CHRIS CUNNINGSCAM



So when I first saw this I thought immediately, another Chris Cunningham project, but lo and behold, it's actually some Japanese film maker's work. Strong edits nonetheless.

VIDEO


ABSOLUT KANYE
TAKE THE PILLS



As some of you may know, I don't own a television so I am not exposed to today's commercials, but I found this Kanye ad online with Absolut. The marketability of this guy intrigues me.

LINK






CUT CHEMIST
FIRST BIG BREAK



So the first 360 degree video is released. Now only a matter of time before all the other imitators come out with one too.

Link





ANIMAL LOGIC
REEL



Animal Logic releases their latest TVC Reel. It's off the meat rack!

LINK




OLYMPIC MONKEY
BBC



Fun Monkey video I spotted on the BBC site for the Olympics. Has been produced by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, the guys behind the Gorillaz.

LINK






FLASH SITES



SCION UNITED
FLASH VIDEO



I thought this was cool for like 10 seconds then realized you can't kill the video so it became really annoying. Interesting nonetheless.
