Mavis: Dude tt's cool shit man.. do they do it every episode?

Get Giffy

There's something so mesmerizing about good GIF animations. I just can't tear my eyes away from them!

And while we're on the topic of things on loop, this video titled Timesculpture is a new ad by Toshiba that completely blew my mind away.. it was shot with TWO HUNDRED Toshiba Gigashot Cameras! Timesculpture uses ground-breaking new technology that's evolved straight out of the Matrix and an awesome style reminiscent of Feist topped with Crystal Castles for a soundtrack. It is srsly a must-watch (MUST I SAY!).



On a third note, I just remembered another must-watch video. Now tt I've gotten stop-motion, time-lapse, tilt-shift and loopy videos out of my system, there is just one left - Super slow-mo. Schwepps did an amazing ad a few months back with - at the time - new technology that involves water balloons popping slowed down to 2000 frames per second! It's just pretty damn cool when you get to see a ball of water floating in mid-air. Please bear with me, you will not regret watching this video:

Big and Beautiful

I was searching for some stock images with my keywords set as 'blonde wood'. This is what I found:



This Australian girl takes self-portraits and posts them up on deviantArt. She has some very beautiful photos in her gallery, such as this to which somebody commented, 'You are Really pretty. And beautiful pose too!'. After I spent 10 minutes browsing through her photos and full-appreciating her beauty, I decided to share this wonderful collection with my colleague. Her immediate response was to send me this:



I felt like I had stumbled upon a christmas catalogue for suckling pigs.

Pinball

If I were to be obsessed with videos, it would be only for brilliant stop-motion videos like the ones from eatPES:

My personal favourite: Western Spaghetti



and The Human Skateboard. srsly amazing shit.



and time-lapse videos. Wait.. lets throw in tilt-shift too!

Six Feet Under

Every episode starts with a death.

Six Feet Under. My first impression was how interesting it was to look at the life of a family born into the funeral business. It really struck me how a show full of relationships, humour and (straight & gay) sex could bring out death, loneliness and loss in such profound ways.

It is an incredibly deep film. It opened my eyes and made me think about the life I live. It made me realise how little we really know - and treasure - about the ones that are closest to us. It is so terribly easy to look them in the eye and pretend that nothing is wrong. It is so easy for us to not notice that they are hurting. Because we don't want to face the fucked up thoughts we have. We just dream of brittle things, pretend that this is the life that we really want, run towards what we believe will make us happy, blissfully ignorant of the fact that we run towards shit. How many of us will really grow old and say we were happy with the lives we had?

The truth is, we're all just afraid of being alone. We're willing to close an eye and take the suffering that comes with the people we surround ourselves with. And we'll bitch and whine about them and think about all the shitty things about them but we'll never leave, because we're just too scared.

I guess I've come to a point in my life where I've realised how alone I am. In the thoughts that I would never share. It is so easy to realise that even when there are people all around me, they are not really there. I'm not sure if it's all worth it, and I'm not sure of what the point is when I have already seen. Maybe I am just like the rest, chasing rainbows.

I miss being a part of a real family.

Obama Force One

Listening to Video Clash by Marshall Jefferson

I must say that I'm getting a little sick of all the Obama talk. I mean I support him and all and i'm glad he won but the whole world just can't stop talking about him. Even the people who don't have a say. But I guess to be fair, whatever happens to the States affects the rest of the world.

Anyways, the only thing i have to say about his campaign is that it's pretty amazing how he captured the hearts of the youth. Nearly every American design site had some form of Obama periphernalia; Obama posters, Obama t-shirts, Obama everything. And I just wanted to share the most brilliant and touching one I've come across:



Congratulations, Barack, lets hope the world doesn't start hating you tomorrow.

Brand New!

Listening to Last Words by Travis




Pepsi re-designed their logos in a very undesireable way. Rationalised as 'various types of smiles/grins' - which i think are butt-fucking ugly and kind of resemble melty-faced smiles - and they've also thrown in spanking new bottle designs. They've practically handed all of their customers over to Coke.

Here is what others have to say about their new bottles: 'The pepsi bottles sure do resemble wrinkly penis' - Brand New follower.

Gotta love it. Image & full article can be found here.


P/S: My new blog layout is up. Just grabbed one of Blogger's ready-made templates and put a little bit of life into it. Hopefully this'll motivate me to blog more.

I Heart C&C

Listening to Trojan Horse by Bloc Party

After a nice enjoyable trip to Taiwan, I came back and had a fun and full of shit day with Moo, Bee & WM. Here are some reasons why i fucking love c&c.


Ade: Eh guys! In Taiwan I went to this place called HELL VALLEY! It's a fucking hot hot spring. Like 90 degrees!
WM: But we belong there. I bet we can just wade in and the water will turn into lava and we'll all just be like, 'Ok what, it's not that hot.'
Mavis: HAHAHAHAHHA ya but all our hair will just melt off.
Ade: Not bad what, then i'll have a smooth cunt.
Mavis & WM: HAHAHAHAHAHAH

WM: So you seriously want to go the Heaven?
Bee: Ya
WM: But we're all going to hell.
Bee: It's ok, I'll send you guys e-vites to come visit me.
Ade: Ok, we'll send up balls of fire.
WM: HAHAHAHAHHAHA

WM: Whatever lor Bee, you're going to hell with us. You laughed at a midget.
Bee: No the bible doesn't say that you'll go to hell for laughing at a midget.

WM: Is there a church for midgets?
Bee: No, midgets don't go to church.
Ade & WM: HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

WM: I wonder if gays will really go to hell cause they're gay.
Ade: No lah, i don't think midgets will go to hell.
WM: HAHAHA I SAID GAYS. WHY THE FUCK WOULD MIDGETS GO TO HELL?!
Ade: Cause they are midgets ... and they don't go to church.
WM & Bee: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

After ordering ice cream at Swensons, WM couldn't finish his sundae.
WM: Bee, you want some of my fudge?
Bee: AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK NO.


As usual, we've just accumulated 812372361274615416 more hell points.

It's quite disturbing how the daughter is fondling her dad's penis.

Low Budget

Just found this off my colleague,

Chasing Rainbows

Barefoot in the shallow creek,
I grabbed some stones from underneath,
and waited for you to speak to me.

In the silence it became so very clear,
that you had long ago disappeared..
And I cursed myself for being surprised
that this didn't play like it did in my mind..

Sexy People

Listening to Shadowplay by The Killers

I found the ang moh version of what one of the many C&C0. blog ideas would be: introducing Sexy People , where people send in their unglamorous childhood portraits/ic photos. LOL RAJU THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR YOU!

Amazing MTVs

Got these three off one of Smashing Magazine's feature lists.. they were just too good to not share (:


Rob Dougan - Clubbed to Death
Off the Matrix soundtrack, Clubbed to Death is purely instrumental but one of the most powerful and beautiful videos I've ever seen. There's some great post-production work here. It's just the sort of video that makes your heart pound and makes you want to run, it's amazing how strong the emotions are.




Bat For Lashes - What's A Girl to Do
Interesting concept here and it's one continuous shot.. I particularly like how they choreographed it and you've got to admit those outfits are cool. Very Donnie Darko.




Royksopp - Remind Me
Gotta love this video because of the awesome illustrations.. Using the style of retro graphics combined with infographics, Remind Me tells the story of everything that Plain Jane does on a daily basis and what goes in (and comes out) it.

Insight 51

Listening to Electronik by Steve Mulder/Paul Van Dyk

Came across some fuckin' cool shit, and they are NOT photoshopped.



Yup, it's actually a series of images of pro photos for a campaign for Insight 51, a major player in the Surf industry. Crazy eh? They basically got a bunch of pro surfers and photographer Dustin Humphrey and flew them all over to Bali for the shoot. Fuckin cool shit.

Romeo & Juliet

I can't do the talk, like the talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything, but I'd do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be..

My Drive Thru

This is a pretty damn cool video, nowhere near as indie as mavis' but at least it's arty. lol.. It features Pharrell and 2 other artists and the entire video is made out of shots of paper cutouts, 9,580 paper cut out dolls to be exact.
