Get On My Horse

Awesome flash movie with a simple intention, to go viral. This is Get On My Horse, which you can also download as an MP3 and ring tone. Nice.

Cousins

I love Vampire Weekend's new video for their track track Cousins. Directed by Garth Jennings at Hammer & Tongs.

Esquire's Augmented Reality Issue

AR this, AR that. Augmented reality is spreading across the creative industries like wildfire at the moment. The latest installment comes from The Barbarian Group and Psyop for Esquire magazine. It all seems very forward thinking, which I absolutely admire, but in this instance, what's the point? If I'm reading a magazine, it's because I'm not at my mac. And if I'm at my mac, I generally don't want to be reading a magazine. Don't get me wrong the synergy is great, but if it doesn't make the magazine itself any better then why not just put the animated content on the website and direct me there to see it? Why do I need to flap around in front of my webcam to see Robert Downey Jr say his hello?

Boy Finds Real-Life E.T.

They just keep getting better. Boy Finds Own Real-Life E.T. From the Onion.

Jonathan Harris on TED

An old TED talk I found by my hero, Jonathan Harris. If you don't know of him already, Harris is a trained computer scientist and considers himself a 'visual storyteller'. Here he introduces Universe, his 2007 project portraying the interconnected nature of both information and indeed reality. Wonderfully existential and, at times, solipsistic, Harris' work is truly inspiring and well worth a look.

EyePet

Demo of the EyePet during the experiential learning workshop at the International Symposium of Mixed and Augmented Reality. Good things are a-coming.

Better Together

"It's amazing what's possible when two work together as one". Nice. Simple. Better Together from Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney, for Toyota hybrid synergy drive.

Rhonda

Rhonda is a 3D drawing tool developed by Amit Pitaru a few years ago. Recently, some very high-calibre Flash developers have joined the development team to help release the software. I expect we'll be seeing more of this soon.

Videogioco

Supercool giant flipbook animation from Donato Sansone. With sound design by Enrico Ascoli.

The Golden Age Of Video

Awesome amazingness from Ricardo Autobahn- The Golden Age Of Video. My favourite line: "I didn't build the Panama canal. Open the pod bay doors please HAL" from Night At The Museum and 2001: A Space Odyssey respectively.
Open the pod bay doors please, HAL".

Who's Smarter Than Who?

A wonderfully simple execution for a wonderfully simple idea. To promote the latest version of Trivia Pursuit, the gamemakers have launched an online challenge that uses a never-ending gender rivalry. Who's Smarter: men or women?

Math Class Halloween

We're supposed to be in the business of creativity. This guy teaches math. Who's the more creative? Why don't we see this every single day in the 'creative industry'?
