50 years of James Bond titles

I've always thought what a great project it would be to produce the opening credits of a Bond film.

Perhaps one day.

Future baseball

I went to a baseball game once in Toronto. It was seriously dull. It wouldn't have been if it had been more like this...





 Go Mets!

Happy Christmas over and over again

From everyone at PLBR.

A short history of the GIF

Greatest gaming moustaches

It's a month too late but it's still pretty cool.

Veggie Alien

How good is this?

The Glitch

One-line super heroes

Ho-ho-ho-holy crap

The fastest ever rendition of Jingle Bells?

Motherhood

Brandversations

I'll be honest, I'm not entirely sure what these posters are supposed to be doing. 

However, I like how they're put together so I thought I'd include them on here.

Rap Battle: Moses vs. Santa

Real life Crash Bandicoot

This is great. I had Crash Bandicoot for the PS1 and this brings it all back.

Amazing

Experimental collaboration of dance (Mike Song) and beatbox (KRNFX).

Landmine ketchup

Don't text and drive

Clever campaign from VW created by Olgivy in South Africa.

Man of Steel

Now this looks epic.*

*Horribly overused word but seems appropriate here.

Why?

This is a short film made by Intel to promote their new UltraBook.

I just don't understand why it was made. It's just a complete load of bollocks and a total waste of time and money. Yes, it's well shot but who gives a shit? And why would you spend a grand or so on something that is, essentially, a curse that'll get you (and your new talking fish!?!) killed. 

Usually I like these types of things, they can be a compelling extension to any promotion and there are numerous good examples. This is not one - in my humble opinion. 

Perhaps you disagree.

Blind Eye

WCRS and MPC have produced a film for Women's Aid utilising 3D projection. The innovation, though, comes in the fact that the viewer selects which scenario they decide to watch. They do this by simply 'swapping eyes' - close the right eye and see one scenario, close the left and see a different one.

Powerful stuff as always but more importantly the beginning of a new way in which we view our films and programmes?

And here's how it was made.

The Theory of Everything

"Oooooh Matron!"

Love it.

Manchester Fans

Good piece of work this, highlighting the often futile nature of football rivalries.

It's also interesting that this was done by W+K in New York. It's not often work coming out of the States captures the small idiosyncrasies of being British and they've done it really well.

Personally, I think they're both a pair of c*nts but, being a Gooner, I would say that.

Twitter photo filters

I don't actually think this idea is all that great but I do like the little video they've created to sell it.

Know where you stand

Fantastic campaign, with a brilliantly written line, for the History Channel.

Tufty

The idea behind this film is such that it should be really shite. But it isn't. It's actually brilliantly made and incredibly moving. Strange.

Blind Spot

Stanley Pickle

Incredible short film directed by Vicky Mather.

Harrods' Heroines

Harrods have enlisted some of the world's best designers to create a collection of seasonal ensembles inspired by Disney princesses.

Some nice shots in there, and there's a film of the shoot too...

Worn Out

Beautiful stop-frame animation created by Wield.

No-one's Immune

My dog the paradox

I love my dog. She's the most gorgeous dog in the whole world and it's not because she is actually gorgeous (although she is) or particularly obedient (she isn't), it's because she's mine. 

I think all dog owners feel the same about their respective canines. And I think all dog owners will love this excellent piece of insight from the good people at The Oatmeal.

If points make prizes what do passes make?

A feckin' glorious set of posters for one. For two, education for the under privileged.

Messler

So Lio Messi breaks Gerd Muller's record for the most goals scored in a calendar year, a whopping 86 (and he still has 3 games left before 2013!). 

Some achievement from an unbelievable footballer but one, it seems, Adidas have been long expecting...

The smartphone cycle

No-one thinks of a Goomba family

Least of all Mario. Makes for a cool sub plot though.

Detox fashion

"They say you can tell next season's hottest trend by looking at the colour of the rivers in Mexico and China. That's because global fashion brands like Calvin Klein, GAP and Victoria's Secret are using hazardous chemicals and dyes to make our clothes. These chemicals poison our rivers, and traces of these hazardous chemicals also end up remaining in many of the garments people buy.

But it doesn't have to be this way. Around the world, hundreds of thousands of people are calling on brands to make fashion that doesn't cost the Earth. Just this week, the world's largest retailer ZARA committed to clean-up their supply chain after over 320,000 people joined the campaign calling on the brand to Detox. True People Power in action.

This really appeals to me.

Fun, stylish, true.

I wish I'd done that
