Testing PowToon a really cool website to create animations. It is very intuitive and give a great idea of how cool animation video can be. But also it gives a sense to the work it requires to be high quality ;-)
In the city centre of Oslo, 3 coloured public urinal in blue, white and red with the French moto on the top! only one word: VIVE LA FRANCE!
This video is about some impressions of Oslo during a trip end of May 2014. Weather was magic, we spent time on the harbour watching the boats. When took a boat, lots of sea gull were following us trying to eat some of the chimps we had on the boat.
When I will be a dad, I want to do these kind of movies with my kids! This father is having a lot of fun filming his kid and playing with Special effects! below a sweet one for Mother's day but plenty of great ones on Action Movie Kid YouTube channel.
Happy Mother's Day to all the real Superheroes out there. I know, I know... enough with the Star Wars stuff... new adventures posted soon. Thanks for your support!
Can't wait to see the movie!
Sheffield, 1988, 'The Day That Never Happened'. Following a disastrous farewell show in their hometown, PULP move to London in search of success. They find fame on the world stage in the 1990s with anthems including 'Common People' and 'Disco 2000'.
Great work from the design company Dion Star that created a full font with marine debris. That is a powerful way to show oceans are full of junk without imposing a strange feeling of guilt/being powerless we usually get from environmental campaigns. The fonts should be available soon.
The video is an entire part of the project. The music is quite cutting edge, very minimalistic. It fits really well with the debris filmed with a white background and becoming real letter. The second part of the video with all the objects forming various letters is a bit long but also gives an impression of quantity. I would I love to see some behind the scenes with collect of objects, cleaning and all that…
A longer discussion on the project on Wired
Strange things happenned to me all the time but that time was kind of cool. I was in Rome visiting the colloseum like any other tourists when on my way out...
what an ass!
April was wonderful this year! lots of sunny days and plenty of beautiful flowers to photograph! End of April, we went to Rome for the weekend and I made some beautiful pictures all in manual mode. Again, I continue playing with Nik software to give a certain touch to the pictures.
Beautiful buiding of a great narative with a very touching ending!
Some pictures from the coliseum I took in Rome last weekend. Pure pleasure :-)
Modest hommage to this fantastic TV serie!
Fantastic website about the story of Sea Sheppards, the iconic warriors defending whales against Japaneese fishers. From a storytelling point of view very innovative and inspiring.
Interesting use of video and storytelling around a job interview that does not go the classic way... Quite fun especially at the end :-)
I was not impressed... that could summarize my impressions from my visit at Art Brussels this weekend. Lots of galeries, most of them with very obscure and minimalistic pieces and a bored arty guy sitting there and playing on his mac (they all had mac! it is part of the uniform!). Somehow I though that was not impressive but had a sort of charm as it was reinforcing all clichés about contemporary art.
And then I saw this this below...
clean floor?
What went in my head at that time is hard to describe... I took a picture with the iphone not thinking too much, just trying to capture the intense feelings that were going trough my mind... The picture is bad. I guess there was a message with the letters and I missed it... May be it was funny, had a political message, a deep philosophical meaning, a universal message to all people using dustpans although in that case you can lift lots of dust anymore.
Anyway, sure this galery will not have me as a client and next year, not sure I will make it to Art Brussels.
One last thing from Art Brussels, below a short video I took of a sort of "ghost" with a survival blanket on, of course she was naked below and she was following some random people in the exhibition. Actually next year I might go and just do that :-)
This is where it all started! the first French ski movie, the first snowboard movie... When looking at it now, not much has changed in ski movies nowdays! powder, crazy lines and some jumps! what was really cool at the time was the storyline "to keep the secret of 'la glisse'"... and the good guy snowboarder versus the bad ass monoskiers... very cool! My favourite remains the music that fits really well and could still be used!
Court métrage mythique de Didier Lafond dans lequel les méchants monoskieurs cherchent à dérober le secret de la glisse au gentil surfer. Un prétexte pour filmer de magnifiques images de glisse. Premier opus d'une série de quatre. A regarder en HD, forcément.
Great ads from HBO for their service called HBO GO that will help kids to watch TV series far away from their parents :-)
All the ads are in this great article on TechCrunch.
Funny ad for a new drink called Seth Riley's Garage... Nice narative with lots of reference to Silicon valley and what dudes inventing crazy machines.
Be very careful when starting little projects in your garage, they just might end up working too well. Oh, and don't try this at home. And if you do, just try yesterday's date. Seth & Riley's Garage, a kind of genius hard drink. http://www.Facebook.com/SnRgarage.
Flowers in April in Brussels, lots of fun taking these picture and playing around with Nik software to make them look even cooler!
