Posted by DaveyApr 2011This short entitled Thursday by Matthias Hoegg is definitely NOT a prequel to Rebecca Black's music video. It is in fact 'an everyday love story set in the not so distant future' that is both beautifully animated and directed and Bafta nominated. Enjoy!... [Read more]

Food Party is produced by the Independent Film Channel (IFC) who have been creating original content that is "Always On. Slightly Off." since 1994.... [Read more]

Posted by KarlApr 2011This has to be one of my favourite online projects from the last few years. In Bb 2.0 invited the public to record clips of themselves 'singing or playing an instrument, in Bb major... with simple, floating textures and no tempo or groove'. The results were all put on YouTube and arranged on one single page allowing a user to control which clips to play, pause, fade-in and out using the familiar YouTube video ... [Read more]

Posted by KarlApr 2011Allow this info-graphic help you decide what free-jobs and favours you take on. Nicely written and clinically clear, Jessica Hische's brilliant chart will help make saying 'no' all that bit easier. Have a look here for the full size version.

Posted by Synth EastwoodApr 2011Well technically this is a new movie by Spike Jonze. Caught on what looks like a camera phone Spike shows off his match-making skills by bringing together two artists from totally different backgrounds. Lil' Buck is a bendy dancer from LA and Yo-Yo Ma is a French string bending cheloist. Enjoy.... [Read more]
