Papercraft 3D Head Costume

This guy Eric Testroete modeled his own head in 3ds Max and used a few other tools to finish it so it could be printed and glued together. See his website for instructions or his flickr page for photos.

It's not the most complicated thing to execute, but it sure has impact. Because the light is hitting the polygons in such a natural way, It looks like it's walking the line between physical reality and digital.

Genius!

People that don't match the music

Mark Gormley - Quote from the creator: "This is a great song, it's very very intense. We tried to make the music video that way as well". Heheh, you can't make this stuff up...it's too odd.


Quote from the creator: "This Was The First Music Video Shot Entirely in a Hurricane and it Includes Some Cool Storm Footage."

Exercising Robot

Exercise for robots has the opposite effect. They break down instead of get stronger. Some artist decided to illustrate this fact. Pretty funny.

14-year-old interviews John Lennon about peace

I Met The Walrus - www.imetthewalrus.com

In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit, and timeless message.

I give this video four stars not five because I'm sick of Bjorks voice. It was really neat for the first few albums, but now it just sounds too predictable.
