Orelha Negra - M.I.R.I.A.M. X Vhils
It's hump day, so I thought I would post something a lil more artistic. This could be a great reference for a vfx sim.
Lisbon-based artist Vhils explodes walls to create his graff. This music video for M.I.R.I.A.M. from the Portuguese instrumental hip-hip band Orelha Negra has some gorgeous slo-mo record of the artist's work in progress. In a world where street art is expected to be temporary, Vhils is making his mark permanently.
Fury Puppet and Go Daddy
Ohhh how I love puppets, and Furry Puppet is really pushing the boundaries fo what a puppet can do! Watch this behind the scenes video on their puppet design for the characters Larry and brandy for a Go Daddy commercial in the video above.
Sooo jealous!
I would love to be a puppet designer!
Banksy Simpsons
Sorry. I haven't posted much, lately. Been working a lot of hours and going to school at the same time. Been feeling like the unicorn in this Simpsons Intro.
I guess Fox turned down the Rupert Murdoch portrait hidden behind the t-shirt scene or the skeletal dipping of the animation cel into the toxic drums.
Script Swell
My friend Jay has a great blog where he
posts scripting and other goodies that are very helpful!
He has gotten me out of a bind with his scripts many times.

Gettin' Money With a Mouse and a Wacom Pen
For all you motion graphics artists out there...
Strata #2
wowsie wow!
Quayola is a visual artist based in London. His work simultaneously focuses on multiple forms exploring the space between video, audio, photography, installation, live performance and print. Quayola creates worlds where real substance, such as natural or architectural matter, constantly mutates into ephemeral objects, enabling the real and the artificial to coexist harmoniously. Integrating computer-generated material with recorded sources, he explores the ambiguity of realism in the digital realm.
The Lost Thing Trailer

How NOT to hire an artist
Everyone working in any creative company should read this article.
How NOT to find an artist: "Do not look for either professional artists, or an artist that has done a lot of game design work in the past."
Jon Jones: "This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read. Don’t hire experienced professionals? This guy must not value his time at ALL"
Unbeknownst to her Creator, Eve longed to become a cheerleader
The video was created from 2,100 separately shot and edited photographs after the actual gallery photo was shot. The action was then storyboarded and the animation was shot in reverse. The entire production required about 8 weeks of work. The photo, "Unbeknownst to her Creator, Eve longed to become a cheerleader,"is on display from July 3 through July 30, 2010 at Pannikin Coffee & Tea in La Jolla, California, and is part of John's third solo exhibition, Seven Signs of the Kewpie Apocalypse.

Dr. Martens 50 - The Cinematic Orchestra cover Lilac Wine
Really beautiful work...
Dr. Martens is celebrating their 50th anniversary, and Blind was invited to join the party. Dr. Martens asked 10 artists to record their version of a cult classic track that represents the spirit of the people who’ve worn DM’s over the past 50 years. One of the songs selected was Cinematic Orchestra’s rendition of the classic, “Lilac Wine,” made popular in the early 90s by Jeff Buckley. Blind was asked to direct the video, which would not include talent, but was given no other creative parameters.
Inspired by Spencerian Calligraphy, Vanessa directed a piece of moving visual poetry comprised of delicate lines. The lines extend and intertwine to form a variety of unique landscapes,populated by various incarnations of the lost lover of the song, including a bird, a fish, a butterfly and a horse.
The First iPhone 4 Cinematic Film
I guess, they are trying to get funding to do a film entirely on the iPhone?
I stopped carrying my regular camera once I bought the iPhone and the regular iphone camera sucks. It just was so muich easier than carrying a second camera. Looks like the new iphone 4 might change a lot of things? What do you think?
