Fubiz™: Bikes Never Crash Alone.
Clever. Makes the point.
Partizan.com: The Bike Song.
YouTube: Carlton Draught Slo Mo.
Guys, with promos like this, we just don’t stand a chance.
Vimeo: Columbus - Lovemachine.
Like early MTV let loose in Cinema4D.
YouTube: Dancing at the Movies.
Nice editing. Didja have to use “Footloose”? I’ve heard that song about a bajillion times ... every time we did a blasted candids video at events, it ended up being cut to that damned song. Comes on the radio, I immediately jab the ‘off’ button. I’ll be ready to hear it again about 2038.
Arcade Fire: The Wilderness Downtown.
Clever use of tech. Their music seems vintage late 90’s to me [White Stripes/Modest Mouse/The Shins/Bloc Party], but smart marketing is making their value soar.
Ajaxian: Raphaël 1.5 Released.
Can’t compete with Flash until you have a GUI, dudes. Exciting to see, nonetheless.
CNet: Men treat virtual girlfriends to beach vacations.
“If you visited the Japanese hot springs resort of Atami recently and spotted a disproportionate number of men gazing longingly at their smartphones, it probably wasn’t because they were playing Angry Birds. This summer, the beach town became a vacation hub for guys who like to treat their girlfriends to sun-and-fun holidays. Girlfriends, that is, who only exist on-screen.” Have human relations devolved so far?
YouTube: First Video from Expedition Titanic.
AE Tuts+: Time Saving Tips Nobody Wrote Down.
If you don’t know to start with a solid audio track, I pity you.
YouTube: Sketchy Duel.
Yep. That’s about right.
GameTrailers.com: DC Universe Online Video Game, Exclusive Who Do You Trust Trailer.
These game folks are getting close to being more interesting than the live action movies.
Vimeo: AICP Southwest Sponsor Reel.
Enjoyable mix of reality and digital.
TrendLand: Bleu de Chanel, by Martin Scorsese.
The man knows how to build expectation. A significant cut above the video dreck we see lately.
Fubiz™: History Channel.
Do I detect a bit of Old Spice video technique here?
FFFFOUND!: Monkey riding a goat.
Handy, perhaps for an “I’m busy” email.
Wall Street Journal: Flash Back: Demand Up in Engineering Specialty.
”At the same time, the supply of such engineers remains low. It is particularly difficult to find Flash engineers who have both an artistic and computer-science background, say executives. While there are many Flash designers with experience in artistic elements, few are trained in areas such as power and battery management, they note.” Sounds like a great big, fat opportunity to me.
DP Review: Canon updates EOS E1 video plug-in.
Canon knows quick workflow will make or break their products.
Michel Gagné: Sensology.
Very cool. Created in rather old-school fashion. Reminiscent of “Fantasia.”
Motion Graphics Served: Timmy Learns About Advertising & Pyschology.
Clever. Vintage-y effects to communicate concepts.
YouTube: Levity, Xero Error Minus1 Movie Trailer.
Not sure what it’s about, but it looks neat.
Vimeo: Joshua Tree Under the Milky Way.
If you missed the Perseids this year, you’ll love this.
The Luminous Landscape: Sony Alpha A55 Preview Report.
Sony’s out to win, and they have the video chops to do it. Check the focus tracking video. Dang!
Macworld: HTML5 raises new security issues.
Somewhat ironic, after all the anti-Flash rhetoric.
DP Review: Nikon D3100 Hands-on Preview.
1080P recording. The pixel count on the sensor is dense, not unlike the Canon 50D. Expect noise, generous amounts, at higher ISOs.
