Aimlessly Writing in Any Direction

I’m absolutely fascinated with stop-motion art, probably because i know how hard it is and how long it takes to complete even the simplest of stop-motion projects. I’ve done one before back when I was in eight grade (14 years ago) and it was tough. I worked on it every day for two weeks and when it was done, I had a 20 second clip of a couple of army men walking around the table. Not very impressive, but I was pleased with my accomplishment.

Much later, I came across a video from BLU, whom I’m not sure is one person or a group of people.

The first Mortal Kombat was one of the best games ever. I still remember asking my aunt to ask her boyfriend to buy it for his Sega. And when I came over to babysit her kids the next weekend, there it was, ready to be played like there was no tomorrow. I had every fatality memorized within a week.

If you want to see all of those fatalities recreated on paper and in stop-motion form, watch the video below created by animator/filmmaker Eric Power. This is great. I love that he used the original audio from the game too.

Old Spice has taken “viral” to a whole new level in the past couple of days. It all started on Wednesday when Old Spice decided to let the internet world ask the Old Spice guy any question they so desired via Facebook and Twitter. In return, OS Guy was responding with a personalized video, promptly placed on YouTube for everyone to watch.

The campaign looks to be a huge hit. I’ve seen quite a few celebrity responses so far and all of the videos seem to have at least more than 300 views. The more popular ones have several thousand or more. The marketing campaign officially ended early this morning at around 1 a.m. mountain time with a final video, which I’ve embedded below.

Thomas Brush created the very simple, but gorgeous, Flash game named Coma and set it loose on Newgrounds for everyone to enjoy. It took him more than a year to create and the end result is fantastic.

You won’t believe the amount of creativity that went into creating this music video. It starts out simple enough but give it a chance to really kick in and you’ll be blown away at how cool it is. I wonder how long it took to put this together. Longer than I would have the patience for, that’s for sure.

Check out “Hibi no Neiro” (Tone of Everyday) by Sour. This video just won Best Music Video Award at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival and was created entirely using webcams. Crazy!
