Shake the Dripp

Dripp gets on the Harlem Shake bandwagon. I won't pretend I knew the Harlem Shake was a thing.

Enjoy your Thursday morning oddness.

In the Garden of Good and WTF

There isn't much of a payoff from watching this video other than being proud that no one in TD came up with this Sprite concept.

Playing with Your Food

PES has directed a few stop motion animation shorts on Showtime that recreate cooking activities with unexpected items. His films are really clever. Check the related videos for his other work.

P.S. He has just been hired to direct the new Garbage Pail Kids movie. This will be exciting to a couple of you (or not at all).

The Coke cup is not looking too happy now. Brock Davis is an artist with a fun array of 2d and 3d work all exhibiting a bit of asinine wit.

Image Search Tool

Next time you're scouring the desert that is Google Images, give this a try. It's a new feature, which allows users to search for similar images.

Here's the video to explain how it works.

Sponsorchip

Remember that Popchips music video the "Whatever Hollywood" girls created last year? Well, Popchip's darlings were rewarded with three cases of chips and an official sponsorship for their website. There are not enough exclamation points or smiley emoticons to express how excited these girls are.

Microsoft's Vision of 2019

A great video by Microsoft, showing what technology could look like in just ten years! Technology is actually catching up with Sci-Fi movies like Minority Report, which takes place in 2054.

Hallowindow

Here is a cool Jonathan project for Halloween. Mark Gervais' "Hallowindow" sells DVD's that you can project onto a screen behind a window to scare trick or treaters. The coolest effect is the one that creates the illusion of someone being behind a curtain.

Shake it like a video picture!

Nintendo has released a YouTube commercial for its new Wii release, "Wario Land: Shake it". The premise of the game relies on the shaking of the Wiimote throughout the game. The YouTube page for the video interacts with the commercial by shaking and disassembling as the gameplay footage plays out. The execution on this page is amazing: all of the links stay live when they fall to the bottom of the page.

Metallica on BBC

thought this post on the CR blog was quite funny

Jamie finally makes it onto later with Jools Holland....

......along with Vicky as guests of Metallica, Bruce & Jane also attended. Later is a very popular BBC programme which goes out on Tuesday & Friday. If you look closely you can see Jamies lip curling in disgust as Lemarr duets with Sway. We are all waiting for the extended friday edition to see if Lars shoutout to "the brilliant minds at TurnerDuckworth" survives the editing process. Great to know Jools Holland and Bono love the album cover too. Expect to see screengrabs of a very pleasantly suprised Bruce Duckworth next week.

Jim Henson and Visual Thinking

Here's an interesting blog posting about visual thinking ;-)

Jim Henson Explores the Process of Visual Thinking

posted by Scott Beale on Monday, May 5th, 2008

Over the years Jim Henson created great series of muppet sketches that explore the process of “visual thinking”. It started with an episode of “Sam & Friends”, Henson’s first television series, where Harry the Hipster gives a lesson in visual thinking to an early version of Kermit the Frog.

Jim Henson then did a remake in 1966 on The Ed Sullivan Show, transforming Kermit from square to hipster, where he gives Grump a lesson in visual thinking.

Henson did another lesson in visual thinking on Sesame Street in 1971, featuring muppets voiced Frank Oz playing the square and Northern Calloway as the hipster.
