Flairs - Truckers Delight



I wouldn’t exactly label this as highbrow, more like highfun! It’s pretty crazy and leans heavily on the raunchier side of life. Directed by Jérémie Périn.

Definitely NSFW, but probably worth getting fired for!

Truckers Delight animated video clip directed by newcomer wunderkid Jérémie Périn who takes the song's title (a tribute to those little pleasures that the lonely truck- driver indulges himself in) and takes it to the next level. Think Spielberg's Duel + Russ Meyer's Faster Pussycat Kill Kill! and Marc Dorcel's wildest fantasies. All warped into an 8-bit Sega era style graphic. And this clumsy and somehow pretentious description doesn't even come close to what you're about to see: it's très funny,très dirty, -très sexy. Très Flairs indeed.

Truckers Delight EP will be available in digital and 12" on November 23th. With 2 remixes by veteran Alex Gopher of French touch fame. Who's clearly has chosen the dance floor as his home turf. And Alixander III, taking some time off his duo Azari & III, who infiltrate the track with his science for cool grooves and his trademark modern take on the classic Chicago sound.

Deliciously dark is how I’d describe Director Stephen Irwin’s latest offering.

A tragic, darkly animated and powerful journey through the life of one dog as he travels from abusive home to even worse.

On the audio side Sorenious Bonk did an amazing job scoring the soundtrack, creating a truly haunting atmosphere of unease.

Warning: because of the subject matter some folk might deem this as NSFW.

Nokia N900: “Focus group” (el viaje comienza aquí)

Channeling the same rebel spirit as the recent Verizon adverts for the Motorola Droid, this viral for the Nokia N900 injects the nucleus of a narrative into what could be a fun campaign.

The turn to grittier aesthetics makes sense. Attempts to unseat the incumbent iPhone using the same glossy look as Apple only confuses customers; the trick is to differentiate the brands somehow. Trouble is, Nokia and Motorola have struck the same chord at more or less the same time.

The recently posted Droid “Stealth” spot directed by Rupert Sanders aims at creating the same sense of epic mystery as the Nokia N900 campaign, albeit with a much slicker production value. It’s the J.J. Abrams school of advertising, with phones instead of “mystery boxes.”

Who will win? At this point, it’s hard to say: but it seems that they’ll still be fighting for second place.

“Focus group” was directed by Jack Masters and conceived by agency Jack Morton. The Mill’s Bif (Fabrice Le Nezet, Jules Janaud and Francois Roisin) helmed the post-production efforts.

The Nokia N900 - the journey starts here

The release of the N900 sees the culmination of months of testing, tweaking and hard work, all to ensure that you get the device you have been hoping for.

The project however, has only just begun...

It's all of you out there - the developers, the fans, the consumers - who are going to dictate where the device goes and what it is capable of. Get thinking, be inventive, use your imagination and push the N900 to its limits. The work you do will make this device better - better than even we thought it could be. And that's how it should be.

Whether you want to participate and develop for the Maemo platform, buy the product or just learn more we want you to be involved...

El lanzamiento del N900 representa la culminación de meses de pruebas, reajustes y trabajo duro, todo ello para garantizarte que obtienes el dispositivo que has estado esperando.

Sin embargo, el proyecto no ha hecho más que empezar...

Sois todos vosotros, desarrolladores, fans y consumidores, quienes vais a establecer adónde se dirige el dispositivo y de qué es capaz. Piensa, inventa, usa tu imaginación y lleva al N900 hasta su límite. Tu trabajo hará que este dispositivo sea mucho mejor, mejor incluso de lo que habíamos pensado. Y así es como debe ser.

Independientemente de si deseas participar y fomentar la plataforma Maemo, adquirir el producto o simplemente obtener más información, queremos que te involucres...

Clash of the Titans (2010) Teaser Trailer



The teaser trailer for the Clash Of The Titans remake has arrived. If you’re a fan of slow motion jumps and slow motion falls you’re in for a treat.

Trailer for 'Clash of the Titans' - starring Sam Worthington, Pete Postlethwaite, Mads Mikkelsen, Gemma Arterton, Alexa Davalos.

The ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus is helpless to save his family from Hades, vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.

The Johnny 7 Combo - I Wipe My Nose On You (Music Video)



Stop motion music video for 1970's punk band The Johnny 7 Combo and their song "I Wipe My Nose On You".

I created an animated handmade poster using a tub of black paint, a tub of white paint, photocopied images of the band, lots of newspaper pages and a flattened cardboard box. The strict rules I imposed on myself also included the use of only natural light and avoiding any fancy computer effects or short cuts. This made me concentrate purely on the stop motion and give the piece a punk spirit an energy that I think suits the song and the band.

I hope you like the video, I hope you like the song and I hope you'll discover more about the 'Johnny 7 Combo'. They're out there if you look hard enough.
