Rather nice titles for the OFFF conference. An underwater deep sea world, full of these beautiful aquatic creatures and ionosphere sounds give it a really dreamy feeling.

Cinema
Remembering the Thomas Crown Affair. That split screen effect is positively quaint now. But this was a big deal at the time. Revolutionary thinking (and amazing technical achievement) through a series of beautiful optical effects.

The brave new world for commercials. Have a glimpse of new thinking for Honda from W+K London.

Friday’s picture from the title sequence for “Up In The Air”.
You certainly don’t need a reminder than great cinematography can change the way you feel about a story. But I needed to snag this frame to help open my eyes to this beautiful range of visuals (combining striking composition with stunning framing/play of light).

Amazing video made with 1 km of yarn and four different flashlights and one lamp (Living Colors). Yarn was shaken and illuminated in different ways and shot in stop motion. Props from Katarzyna Kijek & Przemysław Adamski

Getting a conversation started about the climate is easy, right. But what’s nice about this site is the experience is about turning it into actionable, repeatable steps. Ask good questions as a design thinker. Help others understand it and turn it into action. Like it.

An interview with Peter Sellers for Dr. Strangelove where he does several different English accents:
1) Cockney. 2) General London accent. 3) Estuary English accent (intellectual). You might hear this in parts of Kent and Essex, maybe Surrey, sounded quite Kentish. 4) Pimply guy (?) Frank Spencer! 5) Posh (Cosmo!) sort of London accent 6) Maybe a Greek or Jewish London accent, 7) Edinbro’ Morningside Accent 8 ) Glasgow 9) West Country (but as someone pointed out John Arlott was from Hampshire, and has accent has a kind of rural South East feel (with a bit of a burr).

Nice one Carl. Winning short from Cutty Sark competition.
The Smalls is a website designed for short films of all shapes and sizes. In conjunction with Cutty Sark whisky and Discovery Channels they sponsored a film competition. They provide 4 scenarios and you tell a story in under 5 minutes. You can use elements that they provide (images, script ideas) or go off piste and make it all up.

These people are asking you to join the entrepreneur movement. Familiar and reassuring motion graphics storytelling. ‘Excite, educate and inspire’ nicely packaged. The target audience is broad and wide ranging.

The people of the Flat Earth Society believe that this place is one of the four corners of the world; the very edge of the earth. Nowhere in the world looks like Newfoundland and Labrador the most easterly point of North America, perched on the edge of a continent. This chapter evokes the strange and terrible beauty of our landscape and seascape, in stark contrast to the typical images found in most glossy tourism advertising.

Decheser mentioning the beauty of digital artifacts in scrambled web cam footage. That reference sprang some thinking about Wim Wender’s sci-fi classic, ‘Until the End of the World’ featuring digital scrambled visualizations (profoundly helping blind people to see through some new science). It’s a magnificent movie, very low key and it really deserves a viewing. Noteworthy sound track.
