Google Chrome Features

Google Chrome is a web browser that runs web pages and applications with lightning speed. Click on the notice board in the video to see our other films.

There's something incredibly whimsical about Google Chrome's artsy new ad that making me smile. Maybe it's just because the "Speed" section of the ad keeps making me think of those crazy contraptions in Tom and Jerry cartoons. [Thanks, Emery!]

Using the same camera perspective trick employed by weareom for their “Chop Cup” viral (or sidewalk artist Julian Beever or Salvador Dalí or countless others, I’m
sure), Google crafted a series of elaborate analogue vignettes to tout the features of its Chrome browser.

Some of the ideas work better than others, with the obvious crowd-pleaser being the Speed demo. The subtext for all the vignettes is a celebration of DIY ingenuity, of making something seemingly simple through the complex combination of unlikely components. In many cases, the machines are human-powered, with hand-turned cranks and puppeted objects supplying the “animation.”

Mostly, though, the message is one we don’t often hear among the nerdified banter of browser battles: Surfing the net should be fun. It should be unexpected, but not because your browser crashes or because you contract a nasty virus.

Lost - Perdidos: Promo 6ª temporada - Cuatro

El destino va a cumplirse. ¿Cuándo? En febrero. La partida empieza y termina en Cuatro.

Se acerca el comienzo de la sexta y última temporada de Perdidos. La serie ha sido un fenómeno, su final se prevee épico, y la expectación es mucha. Por eso Cuatro decidió anunciarlo a lo grande, con la promoción que podéis ver a continuación.



Cuando Carlton Cuse y Damon Lindelof vieron el anuncio, dijeron de él que era la mejor promoción de la serie que habían visto nunca. En su cuenta de Twitter podía leer: “¿La mejor promo de Perdidos que he visto nunca… es en ESPAÑOL?”.
Tanto les ha gustado, que han solicitado a la ABC que utilicen el anuncio para anunciar la temporada final en Estados Unidos.

Terry O’Quinn (John Locke) será el encargado de recitar el texto, inspirado en la obra de Jorge Luis Borges y en el poeta y matemático persa Omar Khayyam. Todo un éxito del que ya se han hecho eco durante esta semana los más prestigiosos diarios de Estados Unidos.

Si quieres saber más sobre este anuncio, te recomendamos visitar el blog de Perdidos dentro del web de Cuatro, en el que Iñaki Martikorena, director creativo del canal, y Gonzalo Tegel, guionista de autopromociones de la cadena, cuentan cómo hicieron el spot.

Y nosotros nos alegramos del éxito… ¡pero lo que queremos es ver ya los nuevos episodios!

Humunculus

Humble is proud to present, Humunculus, the first of an annual series of experimental films by our in-house directing collaborative, Hydra. Conceived of and directed by Sam Stephens, Homunculus is a dark and twisted fable of spontaneous generation and untrammeled id. Taking its title from the Latin word for "Little Human", the piece is an associative mashup between the two concepts behind the word: The first being middle-age alchemical beliefs that "little men" could be spontaneous generated from dead or decaying matter. The second being Carl Jung's usage as a personification of pure id. These ideas, combined with our love of Dutch still life's "beautiful decay," sowed the seeds for this unique little monster of a film.

The Hydra team assembled an entire still-life spread; fruits, cheeses, flowers, fish, and an uncooked pheasant. They then sealed it off in a 6x6 foot plexiglass box. 3 DSLrs, set at varying angles, were set to shoot a frame every 5 minutes for 11 days. Meanwhile, co-director Chris Mauch began to design a series of "little men," some cute and cuddly, some not so much. In Maya, Chris and our team of volunteer animators and modelers began to build and rig the creatures.

Over the course of 4 months, in between jobs and on weekends, Sam, Chris, and the team pieced together the sometimes funny, sometimes disturbing madcap narrative --a mixture of Tex Avery cartoons and H.R. Giger inspired body horror.

True to its subject, and to the surprise of its producers, what was to be a small 30 second blip organically grew into an entire HD short film. With the completion of the 12-tone score by Koven Smith and the surround sound mix by Joe Muiccio, we're pleased to premiere our furry little labor of love. Please enjoy...hopefully on an empty-ish stomach.

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.
