Stop Motion T shirt War!

Here is a cool stop motion film i came across this week. I saw it on youtube, and I must say i couldn't take my eyes off of it. It's got a completely DIY feel, all of the shirts were made custom for the shoot, and the soundtrack consists of voice sound effects. I really liked this film as it is a breath of fresh air, and very cleverly thought out. Props to the RhettandLink youtube channel, can't wait to see what else they come up with.

Real or Fake?

With everyone trying to have their ten minutes of fame these days it is getting harder and harder to trust that a viral video is actually real or not. One of the more recent characters to emerge on the scene is a guy known as Francis. This is his famous video:


Now, I've heard on many accounts that this video is fake and that he is acting out for the views, and although that is a sort of relief that this is not a real person, it only proves my point. Viral videos have impacted our society in many ways, and have made fame available through things as simple as a webcam and a script. If you need an example as to how viral videos have impacted advertising, just take a look at the recent superbowl that just passed. Most of the commercials, especially the Doritos commercials, all had that "Viral video Vibe".

Stop disrespecting!

So here are a couple of flicks that are getting on my nerves. Beautiful Productions are being dissed by whack wannabe nobodies and lately I've been seeing way too much of it.

Counter-media blunder film

I recently came across an independent film that is going to feature artists such as Shepard Fairey, Banksy, WK interact, and other Counter culture underground superstars. The film is going to be produced by paranoid pictures and should definitely be some sort of comedy, as it is basically a film about street art gone wrong. These artists are responsible for the counter culture media, or as i have heard it "counter-media" that is seen on many city streets. Should be interesting......

Army starting to turn to game consoles for training.

The United States Military is starting to turn towards using game consoles to train its soldiers for military operated vehicles since it is both very popular and very easy to work with. Using game consoles saves the military alot of time and money that would otherwise be spent on creating a whole new operating platform and teaching soldiers how to use it. This is another example of this generations traits and how technology is actually contributing to them.

my prediction for game of the year 2010!

Bioshock 2. Yeah i knew it would look amazing but once again i was surprized completely at how theatrical they made the game. I've been following this game for a long time now and i really cant wait to see this game when it comes out early this year.

Xbox 360 Games - E3 2010 - BioShock 2
