OK Go - This Too Shall Pass

After watching this music video I was wondering who the crap would think of this idea and then be able to build it. So I looked it up. Turns our Syyn Labs created the Rube Goldberg machine for Ok Go's latest music video. It took 60 times over 2 days to complete the video. I know for a fact that I would not have the patience for this kind of project. But I can definitely appreciate it. More info about the video here.

Visual Acoustics Trailer

Looking forward to this documentary on legendary architecture photographer Julius Shulman. More info about the film here.

Narrated by Dustin Hoffman, VISUAL ACOUSTICS celebrates the life and career of Julius Shulman, the world’s greatest architectural photographer, whose images brought modern architecture to the American mainstream. Shulman, who passed away this year, captured the work of nearly every modern and progressive architect since the 1930s including Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, John Lautner and Frank Gehry.  His images epitomized the singular beauty of Southern California’s modernist movement and brought its iconic structures to the attention of the general public. This unique film is both a testament to the evolution of modern architecture and a joyful portrait of the magnetic, whip-smart gentleman who chronicled it with his unforgettable images.

A Journey Through Asia

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this journey through Thailand Cambodia Vietnam. It was all done with the Canon 5D and the 24mm-70mm lens. Great editing & music selection.

Behind the Scenes– Old Spice: The Man Your Man Could Smell Like

Remember when you looked at him, then you looked away, then you looked back at him? Then out of nowhere he was on a horse!

Well I have to say that Old Spice commercial, The Man Your Man Could Smell Like, featuring actor Isaiah Mustaf, is one of the funniest commercials I have ever seen. Leo LaPorte interviewed the creators of the commercial, copywriter Eric Kallman and art director Craig Allen (of ad agency Wieden+Kennedy), and you can now check out the behind the scenes of how it was created below. And just like I thought the majority of the commercial was shot all live action, on set, with very little CG.

Pivot

This is an excellent little short animated movie. The story, style, animation, & editing are all top notch. The surprise twist is worth waiting for. More info here.

When a man is witness to a murder and takes pictures of the killer, he has to run for his life. During the chase he is able to turn the tables and the prey becomes the hunter. All resulting in an unfortunate ending.
