Daedelus – Far From Home

Came across this new video this morning of Daedelus rocking out on a pair of monomes. In an arcade.

I still love it, the idea of tangibly creating music that exists primarily in an electronic medium. If his goal is to make this music feel tangible I would say he succeeded. Very well executed (and I believe I caught a shot of a 5D toward the end, no surprise there).

Imogen Heap’s Just for Love – live performance

I really appreciate seeing unique music executed live.

Don’t forget to check the click-track channel

Found this retro *photo today from the “olden days,” it’s a subtle reminder to route the audio correctly for a video click track.

Sometimes the simplest ways are the best.

Trapcode Form spiral

Great little mini-tutorial on Trapcode Form. Must find a place to use this.

Grover / Old spice spoof

I couldn’t resist, this is just awesome.

Fat for sale

Now I’m convinced you can buy anything from Amazon, even a pound of fat.

Everything is a Remix

Loved this, and it’s only part 1 of 4. I especially loved the use of my favorite all time band (if you force me to choose one), Led Zeppelin.

Falkirk July 2010 set

The other day I came across this DJ set by Falkirk and after digesting it thoroughly I am blown away. First off, you can jump into it at nearly any point and find something amazing. (But I suggest 5:15, 13:46, and 17:03 as my favorite points). Also, it’s available as an mp3 to speed up those early morning jogs.

Ten toughest games to beat

IGN blogs their list of the Ten Toughest Games to Beat. At first I looked forward to taking issue with their list, but I’m satisfied, especially since Battletoads made it to number 8.

Telephoneme.tv – a new MK12 masterpiece

I could only dream of being able to pull something like this off one day. Great type, great moves, love the color treatment. Can I get it as a T-shirt?

SelectaVision

Who needs television? I want RCA SelectaVision.

iPod (shuffle) playlist

This might be fun. I’ve been working out in the mornings with my iPod on shuffle. Here are some randomly selected tracks that appeared today.

Ratatat – Neckbrace
Smashing Pumpkins – Galapagos
Richard Devine – Matvec Interior
Propellereads – on her majesty’s secret service
Jungle Bros – V.I.P.

So, there’s a small selection to get started with.

Weather test

I really dig this faux-real, but illustrated style.

Grid-it

This seems like it would be a solution to many of my bag clutter problems.

$35 tablet?

You know, if this is the truth and India has developed a $35 tablet (Linux, never-the-less) I may have to put aside my iPad desires and give this little fella a shot.

KidSpring promo

Here’s a little quick hit promo I built to announce our kid’s department takeover of the main service in a few weeks.

Projection mapped visuals

Well I’m sufficiently impressed. Here’s a link to the technique.

Love this.

Great execution, and I appreciate that it was done “the hard way,” no animation shortcuts. It really shows in the fluidity.

Blog spiffing

It was time, and so I’ve spiffed up the avclub with a nice clean theme. Hopefully it’ll serve me well for as long as the last look. I think there may be an option with a JPEG background that I can pull out for the holidays (where did I locate that animated Christmas tree *.gif?).
