BMW i : The new sub-brand of BMW

BMW launched a few days ago its new sub-brand called BMW i.
BMW i will produce electric and hybrid cars only starting on 2013 with i3 and i8 models. 

BMW i Concept:

At the heart of BMW i is a holistic approach to future mobility: Cutting edge materials, purpose-built vehicle architectures and next generation production technology deliver an unparalleled driving experience with benchmark energy efficiency and sustainability. BMW i could not have achieved all this by sticking to conventional concepts, so instead we have explored completely new territories.

Dead Island: Story trailer

A fantastic story trailer for " Dead Island", a zombie-genre game.

The story unfolds in reverse and we see a dead kid going backwards until all the family is together. Before the zombie outbreak. It's very clever that an excellent music is used instead of screaming. I'm waiting for the gameplay trailer to see if they can keep up to this one.

Making Future Magic: iPad light painting

This is at least an impressive project.
Dentsu London used photographic and animation techniques that were developed to draw moving 3-dimensional typography and objects with an iPad.  In dark environments, they played movies on the surface of the iPad that extrude 3-d light forms as they move through the exposure. Multiple exposures with slightly different movies make up the stop-frame animation.

2011 TED prize winner : JRART

A stunning work by the french artist JR who won the 2011 TED Prize winner. He is 27 years old and remains an anonymous photograffeur (graffeur is French for graffiti artist) as he likes to be called.

“If there’s one thing I’ve always taken care of with my work, it’s that it’s never an advertisement for anything other than the work itself and for the people it’s about — no ‘Coca-Cola presents. I think the TED people knew that that was one of my main concerns, and I feel pretty sure that we can come up with a project that works that way.”

TRAILER " WOMEN ARE HEROES" from SOCIAL ANIMALS on Vimeo.

Danny MacAskill - "Way Back Home"

Ένα καταπληκτικό ταξίδι από το Edinburgh στο Isle of Skye με τον ποδηλάτη Danny MacAskill και τη Red Bull. Ασύλληπτα ακροβατικά, μοναδικής ομορφιάς μέρη, εξαιρετική μουσική. Απλά απολαυστικό.

Lollipop

Τραγικό τέλος. Όπως πρέπει να είναι. Το πρόβλημα των ναρκωτικών ειδωμένο με έναν άκρως ενδιαφέροντα τρόπο. Το μικρό αγόρι που τρώει το γλυφιτζούρι-ναρκωτικό χάνει σιγά σιγά τον εαυτό του. Κυριολεκτικά. Χάνει τα μέλη του. Εξαφανίζεται. Η μάνα, τραγική φιγούρα, καταλαβαίνει ότι κάτι τρέχει όταν είναι πλέον πολύ αργά. Όταν δεν μπορεί να κάνει τίποτά αλλό από το να θρηνήσει.
Εξαιρετικό και με funds του ρωσικού υπουργείου πολιτισμού.

Kenny Powers Gets Signed By K-Swiss

Ο ΠΙΟ ΑΝΟΙΧΤΟΜΥΑΛΟΣ ΠΕΛΑΤΗΣ ΣΤΗΝ ΙΣΤΟΡΙΑ.

Στο newsfeed του περιοδικού Time (link) υπάρχει μια συνέντευξη του Danny McBride (παίζει τον αθυρόστομο Kenny Powers στην κωμική σειρά του HBO Eastbound & Down) για το παρακάτω video όπου ως Kenny Powers καλείται από την K-Swiss για να αναλάβει τη διαφήμιση των παπουτσιών της και τους μιλάει με το χειρότερο δυνατό τρόπο.
Ας μην αρχίσω πάλι για τους Έλληνες πελάτες και πόσο φοβούνται τον ίσκιο τους.

Diesel Kick Ass ad

Η νέα καμπάνια της diesel. Μια καμπάνια ΤΟΥ ΚΩΛΟΥ όπως θα δείτε παρακάτω. Μπορεί ο κώλος να είναι ιερό πράγμα, όμως υπάρχουν κάποιοι που χρειάζονται όντως μια κλωτσιά. Στην Ελλάδα ειδικά, και στο χώρο μας ιδιαίτερα, υπάρχει υπερπληθώρα. Τα παιδιά λοιπόν έφτιαξαν και το ακόλουθο site: http://www.diesel.com/sneakers/performance/
Στο site υπάρχουν διάφορα videos, μπορείς να παίξεις μουσική κλωτσώντας κώλους, και άλλα ωραία.

Facebook: Unfriend Coal

Ένα πολύ ωραία γυρισμένο videάκι με εξαιρετική παιδική φωνούλα στη θέση του αφηγητή. Θεωρώ ότι είναι πολύ καλή δουλειά της Greenpeace γιατί ενώ ακόμα και με μια πρώτη ανάγνωση είναι προφανές ότι η Greenpeace παπαρολογεί, είναι σίγουρο ότι θα τσιμπήσουν όλα τα αφελέστατα παιδάκια και θα ενστερνιστούν τις απόψεις της. Άρα, ως επικοινωνία, είναι επιτυχημένη.
