A great short film directed by Géraldine Gaston, Alexis Magaud, Flora Andrivon, Maël Berreur and Soline Bejuy, students from Supinfocom Arles/MOPA school of CG animation, Chaud Lapin is a strangely captivating short film that reveals the romantic lives of three animals – a warthog, a snake, and a rabbit. Fantastic work! 🙂
A collaboration between Docubyte and INK which revisits all the data monsters that populated the early days of the computer industry, Guide to Computing is a minimalist series of digitally restored photographs honouring the vintage computers of yesteryear and their unexpected beauty. Awesome stuff! 🙂
Directed by Seth Ickerman, TURBO KILLER by Carpenter Brut is an awesome synthwave track that references 80s electronic music and culture. The music video, which you can watch below, is basically the coolest grindhouse sci-fi/horror car chase, enhanced by incredibly high production values and an amazing sound. Love it! 🙂
We love this selection of animated GIFs by Carl Burton, a designer and artist based in New York, who creates unique and slightly haunting atmospheres with a beautiful use of light and colour. Fantastic work! 🙂
Mashable Watercooler imagines what E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial would be like as a 1990s sitcom by creating these awesome opening credits. LOVE it! 🙂
What if your cat could actually talk? Presenting Catterbox, an amazing cat collar innovation that translates the meows and sounds of your beloved feline into clear English words and sentences. The designers of the Catterbox have analysed hundreds of sound samples produced by cats to help the collar translate as accurately as possible for it seems cats do not ‘meow’ amongst each other, but only to communicate with humans. Hmmm slightly sceptical here but hey, whatever blows your hair back – if you’re the type who wants your cat to start ranting day and night, then this is definitely for you. Happy Friday, everyone! 🙂
We love the work of photographer and graphic designer Tomba Lobos who has created an interesting set of portraits, disfiguring his models with a clever mix of flesh coloured play dough and digital retouching. A slightly unsettling yet original and unique series that explores the boundaries of classic photography and basic sculpting and digital versus analogue image manipulation.
Created by the designers from Chromosphere, Forms in Nature: Understanding Our Universe is a stunning animated short film paying tribute to the geometric shapes of nature, focusing on the most perfect and pure shape, the circle. An audiovisual meditation on mankind’s scientific achievements and the wonders of the natural world, this film celebrates how science deepens our connection to the universe with study and curiosity. This is amazing work! 🙂
So just when you thought you’d seen it all, Party Creative Lab have created the Song Wig – a very unique bluetooth-enabled hairpiece that houses tiny amplifiers and is made from numerous earbuds allowing the wearer to share music with their friends. Ummm, ok it’s a lil WTF but pretty cool when you think about it although not sure how practical. We’re seeing Song Wig listening parties – gettin’ wiggy wit it! 😉
“The Old New World” by Alexey Zakharov is a fantastic animation that uses historic photos of major U.S. cities to travel back to the early 20th century via an elaborate CG steampunk time machine. Love it! 🙂
