In teamjaded land…
We are doing lots of scheming. It’s that time of year when planning is important, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been keeping busy as well. We were at Pandora last week shooting a talk for their Women in Business series.
The talk was with Lisa Kavanaugh, the Chief Product and Technology Officer at Ask.com.
We aslo hit up the 11th Annual Final Cut Users Supermeet. We showed up early and screened our It’s a Rough Life promo in their open screen theater.
You’ll recognize Johnny saluting the crowd in the vendor area. We then checked out all the new gear, and got a close look at Canon’s new C300. Drool. Unfortunately we did not make it to the presentation stage, instead opting for dinner in Dogpatch. We totally planned to go back… just didn’t happen. Word on the ‘net is that the highlights included CS6 and a change in name for the User Group.
On producing films… with Ira Glass
We found this gem on Reddit the other day. It’s a clip of Ira Glass, from of This American Life commenting on the unforgiving nature of producing films via his experience with Sleepwalk with Me. Enjoy.
Mad Scientist
We just thought this was fun. More from the creator, Chloe Nicolay.
Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!
We are almost certainly drinking hot chocolate and reading comic books right now.
Neckface on Vans TV
Vans and Six Stair are running a pretty cool series on Neckface at the moment. We love all the weird animation.
A day in California
Very cool tilt-shifty time lapse…
composed of over 10,000 photos shot in California… [on a ] Canon Rebel XS, 50mm (nifty), 18-55mm kit lens, 50-250mm.
Happy Monday.
Street Fighter 2 Stop Motion
Stop motion + Street Fighter II = awesome. We poached this from reddit this morning. File it under inspiration. It was shot with a Nikon D5100 and took
1 month for the proccesing.
Enjoy.
Export. Render. Compress.
We’re pushing up against a big deadline on Wednesday. Our big industrial project is finally wrapping up, and we’re putting the finishing touches on all the elements. Lot’s of rendering.
In the meantime enjoy this random video.
Mesmerizing Videos. Sculpture, Space, & Spirals.
Sometimes you just have to slow down. These three videos are not only inspiring, but mesmerizing. They’ll suck you in.
An audiovisual soundsculpture, reacting to the sound of Amon Tobin’s Foleyroom, at Milwaukee Art Museum.
This video was entirely made out of photographs. There is not a single “live” video shot in it. Visnjan Observatory is situated in the western part of the Istrian peninsula. It is part of the picturesque city of Visnjan. During the past 15 years, Visnjan became one of the world’s most prolific discovery sites for the small bodies in the Solar System.
This one is long. It was apparently the backdrop for a “robotic & live music performance.” If you don’t have time for it all, I suggest scrolling through to 4:45.
This is a little space opera : a mesmerizing choreography evoking atoms, DNA, seeds, spirals, fractals, etc… inspired by Anaxagoras of Clazomenae. philosophy.gr/presocratics/anaxagoras.htm
George Lucas Strikes Back
We just wrapped a project with Institute for the Future and are already knee deep in another project with a PR firm. As such, we were having a little trouble figuring out what to blog about this morning when we stumbled on this video over coffee and reddit.
If only it were true. If you enjoyed that, check out the rest of Slick Gigolo’s youtube channel.
