The Alphabet 2 -> n9ve

The Alphabet 2 from n9ve on Vimeo.

Super ambitious, super fun. I like the wide array of effects and the overall quirkiness of this short video. Great work coming from the talented Turin, Italy based design studio ’9nve’.

Notes from Vimeo:

“The Alphabet 2- a horn book video experiment – is a developmental spelling – video where each [...]

Tilt-Shift Camera -> Photojojo

I saw this affordable tilt-shift camera on a Facebook post today (by Photojojo) at lunch and thought it was pretty great. The images look solid, there are some nice embedded filters and tilt-shift always looks better when thrown by a real lens as opposed to a photoshop post effect, in my opinion… Have a look, [...]

Painting Reality -> Pieces of Paper

This is a pretty fun and interesting environmental art piece, or public art project by ‘Pedazos de Papel’ (Pieces of Paper), or at least that’s who I was able to track back to for a source from Vimeo. I may be wrong. Regardless, the paint is released onto the pavement by bicycles and the rest of [...]

Foodies Paradise -> gojee.com

This post is specifically for folks out there who love to cook adventurously and eat well …and appreciate a nicely designed search experience to help assist in those efforts. Gojee.com is not only beautifully designed, it contains a great deal of interesting recipes that can be easily searched based on what it is that you’re [...]

twistcone -> Monster Coloring Book

Monster Coloring Book from twistcone on Vimeo.

How simple is this idea? Monsters and coloring are pretty much the definition of fun if you ask me. Great to distract the kiddos on your next road trip, I know my nephews would dig this. Nice illustration work, lot’s of fun colors and tools as well…

Notes from Vimeo:

“We’re [...]

Spike Solutions #2 -> Jacob Niedzwiecki

Spike Solutions #2 from Jacob Niedzwiecki on Vimeo.

I really like the innovative thinking behind with this generative compositing video exploration by Jacob Niedzwiecki. It’s this kind of tinkering that gives birth to new ideas and trends, hungover or not. Have a look.

Notes from Vimeo:

“In this screen test, the video in any zone of the left half [...]

SpongeBob -> Clothing Graphics

It’s Friday. I figured that simple fact warrants a post that is all about fun and playfulness, as I rarely do post about “fun and playfulness”. Yes, in air quotes even. This fine rendering of a high-design SpongeBob SquarePants is coming from an agency in Nottingham, London called ‘Studio Output’.  Their site is very much [...]

NYC Photos -> JHSINDESIGN

The above photos are a few highlights from my recent NYC trip. It’s been a while since I’ve posted any of my “hobbyist photography” efforts. I’m still loving the Canon 7D. I still haven’t found the time to take any serious HD video with it, hoping to do so this summer. Especially since I’ve added [...]

Cartel -> Enjoying BCN!

This is just nice. A bit filter heavy, but in a good way, and well captured on a 5D this video makes me want to go spend some time someplace warm, beachside with a longboard under my arm. Skater: Michele Pinna  and Música: Blithe Field – “Bible School”

Tristan Greszko -> Jackson Hole Tilt-Shift

A Tiny Day in the Jackson Hole Backcountry from Tristan Greszko on Vimeo.

It’s that time of year when we start to see all the amazing video that was captured during the peak months of the ski season. This one was nicely captured tilt-shift style with a Canon 7D and 5D mkII. Lot’s of sick lines [...]

Recent Photos -> Skiing Stevens Pass (PNW)

Most of my skiing experience prior to this year has come from the east coast. So, as you can guess I’ve been very excited to get in on the pacific northwest flavor of the sport. The best part about living in Seattle is that big mountain access is only a couple short hours away by [...]

Nike Throwdown -> Wieden+Kennedy

I really dig this clever Nike spot created by Weiden + Kennedy, for multiple reasons. Nike has so much diversity happening with their brand right now, skateboarding to tennis… golf to rugby, so on and so forth. I think this ad captures the essence of Nike’s sprawl and amazingly implements their usual branding trifecta of ‘cool [...]

Robo-Rainbow, Akay -> Street Act 2010

I thought this well-filmed video and the actual idea of enhancing one’s bike with an automatic rainbow generating machine was pretty clever. I love that there are people out there spending time building things like this, reminds me a bit of Nike’s Chalk Bot. Makes for a fun view.

ILUVUXDESIGN -> Animation

ILUVUXDESIGN from lyle on Vimeo.

Post update 01/26/11:

Thanks to Lyle Alzaldo for reaching out to let me know that this animation was created by himself and his friends. The animation was featured on the ‘Present Plus’ homepage to gain awareness around their hiring initiative. Great work!

The folks at Present Plus put together this clever animation as [...]

Tilt-Shift Generator -> iPhone App

I just discovered this amazing iPhone app called ‘TiltShift Generator’ available at the app store for just 99¢. It’s a fantastically efficient and easy to use app that generates a very nice tilt-shift effect on your iphone pics. I’ve been trying it on on some of my landscape photos from my Flickr stream as well, [...]
