VDO: FaceBook Gansta vs. Sheffield Quigley
Today we stumpled upon the Facebook gangster. They really nailed it. The jokes, the rap style, we lost about 2 hours today looking and laughing at his viral gem. We couldn’t help compare it to Black 20’s Sheffield Quigley. Quigley was the first professional myspace photographer. This is no lazy sunday, but we really enjoy how they classify types of social network photos and how they might have been created.
Another great facebook video comes from the UK, set at someones door step, displaying the discomfort and possible downside to friending…
obama, you are…
This comes to us from our friends at thehappycorp, an experimental branding and design lab in NYC, after all the talk about Presidential Branding, they thought they would throw a hat in the ring. Watch the video here. Word is there will be more to come.
VDO: Green Porn
Isabella Rossellini just Dallas Motorcade 1963ed our heads with these instructional videos on how insects copulate. Mostly gross; slightly gastly; all amazing
It’s really funny because she plays mostly the male roles. As a drone bee Isabella exclaims:
“MY PENIS WOULD BREAK OFF AND GET STUCK IN HER VAGINA LIKE A CORK IN A BOTTLE!”
We also learned that a snail’s anus sits on top of its head when it’s in the shell. That means they poo on their heads.
Sites that pay Filmmakers and Video Producers
Scott Kirsner of Cinema Tech has thrown together a comprehensive list of the sites that share revenue with video content providers and creators. Creating short videos and sharing them is a bodily function at this point, effortless and occasionally unexpected. But generating revenue - at least from the content side - is still difficult.
There is no formula thats appied across the board here. Each site is experimenting with its own way of giving back to the community that have bolstered their net worth to the billions. YouTube, for example,…
Color Study: Iraq in Fragments
James Longley filmed his gorgeous 3-part documentary opus throughout 2003-05 in southern, central and northern Iraq, directly following the US invasion until he could no longer safely work in the country.
Longley shot all his footage on a Panasonic DVX-100 and DVX-100A; the sound was recorded entirely in-camera.
The colors are what struck me most as I watched the trailer: sunset at a machine shop, gold-strewn streets, green & red banners, crowds of the white-robbed faithful approaching a column of black smoke…(color correction by Modern Digital in Seattle).
Longley combines 3 separate…

Prosperity through limitations: The Control Master
Created using entirely CSA Images, The Control Master from UK illustrator/animator Run Wrake tells the story of a knockout blonde cum superhero who secretly protects the mild-mannered Luddite citizenry of Halftone City from harm. Her nemesis arrives in the form of a tech-savvy supervillain, Doctor Moire, who threatens the destruction of family values.
The Control Master comes out on May 3. Watch the trailer at Veer.
Awful posters for Blindness had better not mean they’re butchering the movie
I mean, Optometry, really? Don’t you have to be able to see to read the letters?
But this movie’s about people going blind, so, no one will be going to the eye doctor, but even if they did: are you really promoting a novel by a Nobel Prize Winning author with OPTOMETRY CHARTS?
Incredible, such a sea change of cinematic and literary inspiration. The production meeting went like this:
“So. Blindness.”
“Yeah. No one can see.”
“No one?”
“Nope.”
“Alright, so, no visuals.”
“Well, it’s just a story. We have to…
