“This is a real video performance, a slow motion video, a sequence map with a traveling in front of 80 extras placed on 80 meters along a little road, lost in an industrial area. Filmed at 1000 frames/second with a Phantom flex 4k from a car driven at 50km/h, the shooting took 5 seconds for a 3’30 video: a living and dreamlike mural.”
Here’s the incredibly short making of video…
This is sensational. I wish my twelve year old self had done something like this for my thirty year old self. But alas.
There’s a slight language warning first up.
I enjoyed this.
Vimeo streams really fast on the iPad. On my Mac it puts the stop into stop motion…
I don’t like bins. The pedals always break. You have to empty them. They stink. I think this sort of thing might take up less space and have me emptying the rubbish more often. But who knows.

For those parents who want to foster their children’s imagination on the cheap, who simultaneously don’t have any issues with children playing with violent toys, will join me in appreciating the simplicity of this invention which turns any stick into a sword.
From a designer named Naama Agassi.
So it turns out you can stitch all the McBain clips from the Simpsons together and get a coherent story. Check it out.
Yeah. You read that right.
This is such an amazingly cool invention. A hole punch that turns bits of plastic (like your old credit cards) into guitar picks.
It’s called the Pick Punch. And it has totally solved any pangs of anxiety for not having bought loose acquaintances Christmas or birthday gifts for the last five years. Now you can just grab a pile of plastic and tell those people to take their pick.
I’m surprised this took so long, when I think about it… The New Yorker is reporting that certain brands are buying the products of their competitors and sending them, as freebies, to celebrities of questionable brand value hoping that they’ll stop using their own products, and start using their competitors.
The story focuses on a celeb named Snooki, I take it she’s the US equivalent of Matthew Newton.
“Allegedly, the anxious folks at these various luxury houses are all aggressively gifting our gal Snookums with free bags. No surprise, right? But here’s the shocker: They are not sending her their own bags. They are sending her each other’s bags! Competitors’ bags!
Call it what you will — “preemptive product placement”? “unbranding”? — either way, it’s brilliant, and it makes total sense. As much as one might adore Miss Snickerdoodle, her ability to inspire dress-alikes among her fans is questionable. The bottom line? Nobody in fashion wants to co-brand with Snooki.”
Somersaulting on one exercise ball is awesome – but two guys somersaulting on one exercise ball is doubly so. From here.
Guerrilla marketing is all the rage. Sneaky. Subvertive. In your face and yet subtle at the same time. Gorilla marketing is another area all together – Cadbury tried it with their virally popular drumming gorilla – and who can forget Yogo (the chocolate yoghurt and its mascot Yogorilla).
Now, a health insurance company is in on the act. Gorillas don’t like eye contact. Apparently an escaped gorilla attacked a zoogoer for making too much eye contact recently. FBTO, this Dutch health insurance company responded by handing out these innovative zoogoing goggles. Found here.
Did you know: A square 82cm by 82cm will occupy one pixel on google earth at an altitude of 1km.
This square was produced by artist Helmut Smits.
I like. Found here.
That is all.
