I’ve been looking for some poster inspiration and just stumbled up on this on ffffound. Brilliant. This has to be one of the best sets I have ever seen. I’m also a fool for black and white…I want all of these prints! Avantgarde by Maxime Quoilin — check the full set here.

Thanks Poland.

I got a lot of hits on my video from this polish wake site a while back, so I clicked to check it out…

And this is the awesome translation I got from Google:

Haha. Poland!

The history of ski aerial acrobatics! This is awesome. Thanks for the vid ISO50, couldn’t help but to share it. I think we can all get a little inspiration out of this one…

When I was younger I wanted to grow up and have a house with stairs like this. Good too see someone else is on the same page. I never though I’d actually see them in existance. And maybe a handrail that hangs from the ceiling. Some days I think I should have followed whats embedded in my genes and go the architect route. Thanks Ffffound.

Free Tilly!

Imagine being constrained to the walls of your empty room for the rest of your life…when you should be out exploring the world. You would go crazy too. I understand his chances of survival are slim, but at least he would be free! I’d take the risk, without a second thought. I imagine Sea World doesn’t want to take the risk because it will cost $$$. Not only to transport him back to the ocean, but then to adapt him back to the wild, then to replace him. But if they really truly cared about these animals, they wouldn’t cage them up. Set him free! A few interesting killer whale facts:

- Killer whales are capable of swimming 100 miles in a day.

- Tilikum is the largest Orca in captivity, measuring 22ft 6in long, weighing somewhere around 12,500 lbs.

- The life expectancy of a killer whale in the wild is 50 – 60 years for males, and up to 90 years for females, however, killer whales in captivity live less than 30 years.

- Wikipedia quotes: ‘Wild killer whales are not considered a threat to humans, although there have been cases of captive killer whales attacking their handlers at marine theme parks.’ Interesting.

Some more interesting facts & details can be found at the Whale & Dolphin Conservation Society…

Check out this great article by Ric O’Barry from The Cove, expressing his thoughts on Tilly and Sea World…

Thanks GSG. Really cool effect. Still looks really crappy in vimeo, not sure what’s up with that but I’ve got a cleaner version on my own server here. I think I like it played better in reverse than normal. Lot’s more playing to do. I need to work on this lighting rig, and loosing some grain. More layers! One giant glossy jawbreaker coming right up…

3D Chops.

After two years of being stuck primarily building websites, I’m working on getting my 3D and AE chops back. Thanks to GSG for some great tutorials. Here’s a little screen grab of today’s render which should be done in a few hours…

Leaves.

Browsing ffffound for some daily inspiration, I came across some branding for an action sports photographer based in Salt Lake, which led me to his blog. And the first post of his blog had this amazing & unique snowboarding video…

Really cool concept that gets me excited about other possibilities, and a whole new approach. If you are curious on the making of, read the subtitles on this making if vid:

Burgled.

I live in a nice neighborhood, on a fairly busy road…front door facing the street. Last Thursday mid-afternoon someone kicked our front door open and welcomed themselves in during a two hour window no one was home. They picked up a couple macbooks, sorted through a few things. Then we are left to assume they opened a bedroom door to find an angry bulldog that scared them out, 2 macbooks in hand. I am so, so very lucky neither of those computers was mine. However some of my roommates not so lucky. I would have lost tons of freelance work to say the least. Maybe even my new camera. I don’t have renters insurance, or any kind of mac anti-theft program, or recent back-ups of anything really…well I sure do now.

Point being, let this be a reminder. Back up your stuff! Lock your windows and doors. Don’t leave precious items in plain view. Be cautious of who you let in to your precious home. In almost every case the person that breaks into your home is someone you know. Or a friend of a friend that’s been there once before. They know what you have and don’t know you well enough to care about you, and your precious things. Someone’s got some realllly bad karma headed there way.
