We’re currently loving Vintage Beat by Joe Penna, also known as Mystery Guitar Man, a clever compilation of film clips from the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s that are all connected together with a danceable soundtrack. Happy Monday 🙂
For The Love Of Spock is an upcoming documentary, directed by Adam Nimoy, that both celebrates the 50th anniversary of Star Trek and reflects on the inspiring life of Spock, actor and father Leonard Nimoy. With Zachary Quinto, who plays Spock in the Star Trek reboot films, narrating the documentary, For The Love Of Spock is set for release sometime in 2016. Looking forward to this one 🙂
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! 🙂
Tilt Brush is an exciting new application by Google that uses virtual reality to paint in 3D. This combination of art and technology allows you to create paintings in a three dimensional environment, through brushes of course, using unlikely materials such as fire, stars, or snowflakes – below is a great demo vid featuring street artists Faith47 and Tristan Eaton trying it out. The new Tilt Brush app is currently available for the HTC Vive headset. This is so very awesome!! 🙂
Looking forward to Disney’s film adaptation of the much-loved Roald Dahl novel The BFG. Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Ruby Barnhill as Sophie, this highly anticipated film features the voices of Mark Rylance as The BFG plus Bill Hader and Jemaine Clement as giants Bloodbottler and Fleshlumpeater. In Australia, The BFG will be released in cinemas on 30th June 2016. This should be a big hit! 🙂
Brooklyn NY filmmaker, animator, and musician, Andy Kennedy imagines what your nights look like while you’re dreaming (or having nightmares) with his surreal and mesmerising animated short film ‘Slow Wave’. Awesome stuff! 🙂
Mylo the Cat has nailed it again with this latest mashup of Bert, Ernie and the cast of Sesame Street performing “Regulate” by Warren G and Nate Dogg. Love it! 🙂
Presenting Sofia, an ultra-realistic female humanoid robot, designed by Hanson Robotics, who is capable of seamless interaction with humans using a speech synthesis system, cameras in her eyes, and very realistic motorised facial expressions. Sofia’s able to comprehend, learn and interact with her environment and is probably the most advanced humanoid robot created to date, and most definitely the creepiest…who will, we have no doubt, help destroy us all in the end 😉 lol
We’re loving this awesome supercut tribute to the best tracksuits worn in movies by Travis Greenwood, who teamed up with video editor Robert Jones, creating “Leisure On The Lens”. Nailed it! 🙂
