Stay off my wave...

I've lassoed some stuff

A few bits and bobs for this beautiful Friday morning...

First up, a sweet new Starburst spot. Funny, simple...don't have to think too hard. 'Your dog's a contradiction.' It hits the spot for me.



Also on a 'doggy' tip is this well executed Doggelganger site. My dog didn't look anything like me though...although who am I to judge that?

And finally, a bunch of clever people, including the talented Oli Beale and Mr Ross Neil, have launched this clever site to launch the new Kaiser Chiefs album. Good work chaps.

Super Soaker Bloodbath

This is a decent music promo made on what appears to be a shoe-string budget (CGi depending!):

A Useful Robot

This awesome camera-rig captures the night sky in such an amazing way.

Prof Brian Cox would be cracking one off over this:

Some bits and bobs for a feeble Thursday.

Firstly, check out these incredible forgotten monuments scattered around what used to be Yugoslavia...like something from another planet. Movie set heaven. Here's the full set.

















I want this chest of drawers. I just want a simple life.





















I'm loving this painting by the super-talented Aaron Smith. Enchanting.





















And finally, it's true...they're off. *wipes tears from eyes* All the best to the most inspirational duo in the business. Take a bow Yan & Luke...photo courtesy of jfcorcoran esq.

The Owl and The Pussycat

This rocks. I love how overly long it is. And the music.

The stars have aligned, as they say.



I wish they'd swap heads...

Pole Pull Down

This is insane. A new sport in Asia called 'Pole Pull Down'. Careful, you could do yourself an injury young man...

It's Bonkers in Honkers

My friend in Hong Kong just sent me his latest ad. It's an absolute beauty. I want to go and work in Asia!

Friskies iPad Games for Cats

In principle, I bloody love this. However, in the reality the idea of a stinking mutt swiping it's dirty paws and sharp claws all over my shiny new iPad2 is a bit too much to bear!

3D Google Streetview

Woah, did someone say 'Google Easter Egg'?!

Go to Google Maps. Go into Streetview...












Then hold down '3' on your keyboard. And voila! It all goes 3D. Sweet.

The Dark Side of the Lense

You should watch this: The Dark Side of the Lense.














To me, it's a documentary of the highest order. And I'm not just saying that because I used to surf with Mickey back in the day in deepest, darkest Cornwall.

He's a man of extremes, regularly going to furthest corners of Britain and beyond, risking his life to get the most brilliant, beautiful footage.

This film is completely and utterly spine-tingling. More than inspiring. A true testament to film-making.

I tip my hat sir.

That is all.

Blistering Barnacles

So excited about this. I was a BIG Tintin fan as a kid, in fact every time I wrote a letter in French to my Auntie in France, she sent me a Tintin book. Some might call it blackmail, I call it brilliant.

The Whole Facebook

Quite interesting uses of the new-ish Facebook layout...

Jack Sparrow feat. Michael Bolton

Amazing.

Up, Up and Away

Got a few briefs on at the moment and what better way to be inspired than to have another look at this awesome photo of Space Shuttle Endeavour that did the rounds yesterday. Taken by a passenger flying from NYC to Palm Beach.

I went to watch Prof Brian Cox and co last night, so my brain is rather hurting after being pumped full of science...nothing a cup of tea can't sort out though.

Balloon Pop

Great MTV balloon popping stop motion.

Battles Ice Cream (Headache)

Can't stop listening to this track by Battles. Or watching the uber-stylish vid...it's all over the shop!

Super 8 App

Loving the look of this nifty App that enables you to shoot Super 8 style film on your iPhone.
















It's to celebrate the launch of the new 'Super 8' film. I saw the trailer the other day in the cinema and it has a real 'Goonies' vibe about it! A load of kids in a strange little town are making a movie on a Super 8 cam and unexpectedly capture a train crash. The cargo on board the train ain't no normal cargo though, you catch my drift? Oooooohhhhh...

Produced by Speilberg and directed by JJ Abrams, I'm expecting massive things from it.

Big Plastic Hearts

Here's a cheeky little Sun ad we just did for their current LEGO promotion.



Muchos kudos to director Guilherme Marcondes at the ever brilliant Hornet in NYC. The man worked wonders on a very limited budget to create this mini epic. And no, that's not stop motion...incredibly it was all done in CGI.

Andes Friend Recovery

This is AWESOME. In a nutshell, the Andes Friend Recovery enables you to be in the pub with your mates, when in reality you're stuck at home with your wife/girlfriend...brilliant.
