Each player in each sport has their own form of revelry to celebrate points scored. For some it’s a hand motion, for some it’s a somersault, and for others it’s a well-crafted humorous dance. In honor of the upcoming 2010 FIFA World Cup and to promote Coca Cola’s sponsorship, Paranoid US Director Edouard Salier, created an animated medley of celebrations entitled “Quest”. With Coke’s long history of successful animated spots and Edouard’s visual storytelling ability, the collaboration was a perfect fit.

Initially set on a field of dust in Africa, far from the shiny professional stadiums, “Quest” follows a young football enthusiast looking for celebration. He sets off on a magical journey, in search of the sport’s most festive experiences. Along the way, he encounters various football teams, each with their own personal style of merriment. He then realizes the celebration is within himself and he can bring it to any environment.

Armed with a script from the agency, SANTO, Edouard was tasked with producing a visual accompaniment that brought the celebration of football to life. With his poetic visual concept in place, Edouard worked with a design team in Paris to generate an animated storyboard. The character and background details were highly important to make the spot magical, yet believable. Edouard relied heavily on the experienced crew of artists from Digital District, who specialize in animation and visual effects. With only photography as reference, it was up to the skilled animators, to make the main character have human facial features, reactions and movements.

The end result is a spot that the most-die hard football fans will enjoy, as it is filled with the symbols of various goal celebrations--from robotic dancing to a mock crew team. However, it is just as entertaining for anyone looking for the usual joyful spirit and awe-inducing visuals synonymous with the Coca-Cola brand. The spot, an eight month long production, begins airing globally and will continue to run through the end of the FIFA World Cup tournament.

John Lewis advert Billy Joel's She's Always a Woman



The genius starts in the first three seconds. A woman picks up a baby and when she puts it down – surprise! – it's a toddler. The child climbs through the tunnel and – woah! – she's at school and looking up in awe at the teacher with the sun shining on her desk. Then suddenly it's her sixth birthday and she's blowing out the candles … on her 18th birthday cake.

But what's this? She's married? No, she's pregnant! Hang on, she's a grandmother! And so on life rolls, painfully, beautifully, unstoppably: marriage, babies, work, grandparenting, sunny retirement years. This should be the most nauseating advert in the history of television – instead John Lewis's agency Adam & Eve has created a masterclass in emotional manipulation in 91 seconds. Man or woman, if this advert does not make you weep, then please check your pulse.

It's the visual illustration of the song that does it. The understated vocal comes from Fyfe Dangerfield of The Guillemots, a re-recording of Billy Joel's She's Always a Woman. As he sings, "She hides like a child, but she's always a woman to me," we see the girl as an adult for the first time. For "She is frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel…" we see her at her laptop shouting at her family to shut up; she's trying to work. "She can't be convicted, she's earned her degree…" she cheekily steals the cherry on top of her granddaughter's cupcake. She's not perfect, this woman. She's real.

This has to be the most believable example in advertising of someone ageing 70 years over the course of a minute and half. It has every appearance of verisimilitude: you truly believe this woman exists and has been filmed at all these various stages of her life. (It is also brilliantly under-acted. The casting must have taken months.)

Of course, pick it apart and there's a weirdness. If the woman was 70 now, the sixth birthday party depicted in the opening seconds would have been taking place in the 1940s. It's clearly present day. Likewise at the wedding everyone would have been wearing flares and kaftans. Instead they are all sporting items no doubt currently available in the 2010 John Lewis collection.

No matter. This ad fools you into thinking you're watching one woman's life, whilst realising that all these women exist simultaneously right now. Well done, John Lewis, £6m well spent. I've watched it 20 times and have cried every time. Marks & Spencer must be fuming.

What they say: Never knowingly undersold on price, quality and service

What it means: Life is an emotional business and it passes in a flash. Buy reliable, quality stuff as you pass through it.

John Lewis is rolling out £6m advertising campaign ever to drive its never knowingly undersold proposition.

The ad campaign, which the retailer claims is its biggest ever, will break on Friday (23 April) the in the ad break during Coronation Street on ITV.

It has been created by Adam & Eve.

John Lewis asserts Never knowingly undersold position

John Lewis John Lewis is rolling out £6m advertising campaign ever to drive its never knowingly undersold proposition.

The ad campaign, which the retailer claims is its biggest ever, will break on Friday (23 April) the in the ad break during Coronation Street on ITV.

It has been created by Adam & Eve.

It includes a series of ads that show a woman progressing through the key stages of her life from giving birth to becoming a grandmother, and how the John Lewis brand is a part at every stage.

The 10, 60 and 90-second TV spots will air across terrestrial and satellite TV channels for six weeks.

They will feature a re-recorded version of Billy Joel's "She's Always a Woman", sung by the Guillemots.

Craig Inglis, John Lewis marketing director, says: For a long time Never Knowingly Undersold has been perceived as just a price promise, but its more than that: its about the total value we offer our customers, about the quality of the products we sell and the added value customers receive with the service our Partners offer. Now seems the perfect moment to reinforce this message.

John Lewis says it intends to use the ad concept in future campaigns.

The department store chain revived the 80-year-old never knowingly undersold strapline last September in a bid to clarify the positioning to customers through a press campaign.

"A History of the Sky" is a time-lapse visualization of the sky for an entire year. See my project site: www.murphlab.com/hsky.

P.S. some of the more astute observers have already spotted my bad math! :-)

Ken Murphy's 'A History of the Sky' enables the viewer to appreciate the rhythms of weather, the lengthening and shortening of days, and other atmospheric events on an immediate aesthetic level: the clouds, fog, wind, and rain form a rich visual texture, and sunrises and sunsets cascade across the screen.

An image of the sky is being captured every 10 seconds from a camera installed on the roof of the Exploratorium, on the edge of San Francisco Bay. The images collected over each 24-hour period are assembled into a 6 minute movie.

Clutchy Hopkins - Verbal Headlock (Papercraft Stop Motion Hands)



From the new Clutchy Hopkins album "The Story Teller" on Ubiquity Records. This track already awarded among the year's best on Gilles Peterson's Worldwide show on BBC Radio 1. Directed by: Christian Borstlap Christian Borstlap is an amsterdam based art director and sometimes film director. christianborstlap.com

Dutch filmmaker Christian Borstlap made this papercraft stop-motion animated music video for a Clutchy Hopkins song “Verbal Headlock”. It shows paper-formed hands playing instruments.

A quick Google search suggests that the previously unknown-to-me Clutchy Hopkins is either a folk musician or an Internet hoax, and I’m leaning toward the latter hypothesis.

Gears of War 3 Official Trailer "Ashes to Ashes" - Brother's To The End



This Is The Official Trailer For Gears Of War 3 ! Enjoy !

Gears of War 3 Release Date : April 5th, 2011
Cliff Bleszinski debuted Gears of War 3 Trailer on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
Following giving a release to approximately April 8th 2011
Gameplay


For a small list of info within the trailer itself;

- The "old man" in the beginning is Dominic Santiago; An Epic develoepr explained the aging as "A result of him taking Maria's life".
- The woman is Anya. The story behind her being a solider is that, in the GoW3 time period, any and all able bodied humans are fighting for their race's survival. More can be explained by reading the GoW Novels, especially Anvil Gate.
- Gears of War 3 will take place 18 months after the events of Gears of War 2.
- Cole looks significantly older due to his bandana; It is unconfirmed how much older, if at all, he will look without it.
- 4 player co-op has been confirmed. The campaign will feature 4 unique players at all times. Marcus, Dom, Cole, and Baird have all been confirmed as playable characters, and there will be more along the way.
- The shotgun Marcus is holding is an, at this moment, un-named double barrel shotgun. According to an Epic developer, this new shotgun will NOT replace the classic "Gnasher" shotgun, and both will make appearances within Gears of War 3.
- The "Pendulum Lancer" makes an appearance in GoW3. It is the gun Anya hands to Dom.
- The tentacle based monsters are a neutral foe within the game; They attack both Humans and Locust.
- Anya, and possibly more female characters, will be playable in the multiplayer aspect of the game.

No true Multiplayer info is known at this point. The game however will be showcased at E3 of this year, June 15th-17th.

Let the hype begin!

Alice by Jan Svankmajer (1989)



TO BUY THE DVD of Alice go here: http://firstrunfeatures.com/shopsite_...

IN THIS SCENE: Alice begins her journey by following the White Rabbit into Wonderland.

ABOUT THIS FILM: When Alice follows the White Rabbit into Wonderland, so begins this dream expedition into the astonishing landscape of childhood, through many dangerous adventures, and ultimately to Alice's trial before the King and Queen of Hearts.

Czech animator Jan Svankmajer has created a masterpiece of cinema, a strikingly original interpretation of Lewis Carroll's classic tale. Svankmajer's Alice remains true to the absurdity of Carroll's original, but bears the stamp of his own distinctive style and obsessions. Combining techniques of animation and live action, he gives a new and fascinating dimension to the classic tale of childhood fantasies.

"Svankmajer's film explores Alice in Wonderland's dark undercurrents: it unearths the fears that animate dreams and nightmares." -New York Times

Fard



Fard is an animated short directed by Luis Bricenco and David Alapont. It’s in French with no subtitles, but the plot is visual. The action really gets going about four minutes in. The style and effects make it quite memorable.

From directors Luis Bricenco and David Alapont, Fard is a new animated short blessed with a classic sense of style. With its muted color palette and clean lines, Fard manages to evoke a sort of classic neo-futurism, a vision of the future that wouldn't have seemed out of place in Fritz Lang's day but doesn't seem dated today, either.

The film has had a very strong festival run already and is now available to view online in its entirety. No subtitles, unfortunately, but the dialogue is minimal and the style and feel of the thing shines through so clearly that it's worth a viewing regardless. Check it below.

Fully Epic Rapsody - The Fully Sick Rapper



Christiaan Van Vuuren created a viral video two months about about his experiences in quarantine for drug-resistant tuberculosis. He’s still there, and has had plenty of time to hone his video editing skills:

It has now been 102 long days that Ive been here in the hospital all up, isolated with a case of Multi-Drug Resistant TB.... Yep... Still going... Is it normal if you want to eat your own leg?

Thanks for watching my videos so far, you are all fully sick, but like, sick in the way that a good night out can be sick.

For this most recent gangsta rap music video, I really wanted to do something that was out of control - so I enlisted the help of my brother. He is only able to come in for short visits here and there, for which he has to get masked up and wear protective gloves, but it was enough for us to be able to get fully sick and that with his digital handycam (hence the increase in video quality from my previous fully sick projects).

In many countries of the world, people with Multi-Drug Resistant TB would be lucky to even receive medical attention whatsoever, so I fully stoked to be receiving the mad medical care that I am getting here in Australia. Even above and beyond this epic level of care, I am lucky in the sense that I have had access to some totally rad entertainment, which has kept me sane over the last 102 days (this level of sanity is open for debate).

This new Youtube video is a Tribute to some of the DVDs that Ive watched to kill my time here in quarantine, and to make it a bit Hollywood my brother and I have used ANY AND EVERY fully sick special effect that we knew was in existence, to make this a truely epic RAPsody...

FAQ: (Fully Awesome Questions)
- The song was written, recorded and mixed in the hospital on a Macbook Pro using Logic Express
- All filming was done on a regular digital handycam in the hospital during brief visits to my room
- For all of the special effects, my brother and I improvised by hanging a green sheet on the wall in my hospital room
- All editing and finishing was done on a Macbook Pro using Final Cut

Oh yeah... and... I love you for watching.

How Books Were Made

Pictorial Webster's: Inspiration to Completion from John Carrera on Vimeo.



In the summer of 1995, bookmaker Johnny Carrera of Quercus Press found a tattered Webster’s 1898 International Dictionary under his grandfather’s favorite chair. He was fascinated with the thousands of engravings and spent the next decade of his life remaking the book using a Linotype machine.

The result is the gorgeous handmade Pictorial Webster. It’s not just a book. It’s an artwork. If you don’t have a spare $3,500 to buy the deluxe full leather book, you can still get the great unwashed version for $23 at Amazon.

If you see only one video clip today, let this be it. Then check out the official Pictorial Webster’s project page.

From the discovery of the 1898 International Dictionary to linotyping the entries to printing the last print on the vandercook to cutting the fingertabs of the deluxe edition, this video gives a quick overview of the process of creating the Pictorial Webster's fine press edition.
