Attack of the Infographics!

Mucho gracias to Mark for introducing me to the term infographic. Of course everyone has already seen plenty of them, but I didn’t realize there was a dedicated name for all these snazzy graphs and charts that graphic designers are coming up with these days. Many of which are pretty dang creative.
Here’s a page full [...]

Looping an FLV, (my own personal reminder)

Okay here’s some short lines of Actionscript 2 and 3, hardly worth blogging about, but its code I always forget and then have to go sift through old files for, so I’ll use the Coding category of the blog to try and remember I’ve noted this for later…
For Actionscript 2: If you have an FLV [...]

Think it…and ye shall receive it.

Holy junk! I was just thinking “why the heck hasn’t WordPress included an easy widget for showing twitter updates”.  And bam, they already had one. I just hadn’t checked the Widgets section recently… or just as likely, my thinking about a Twidget shifted my quantum reality into a parallel but very similar world where the [...]

Um, something is different about this Vimeo video…

Play this Honda video. Something unusual happens on Vimeo when it does.

And oh, the commercial is pretty good too.

Ivy $12.99, Sky Bus $5.07, Water Flow $8.11…

Does that title read like I’m a berserk hobo rattling off anything that comes to his mind?… Well, close. Those are some of the prices at Cornucopia3D.com where they’ve clearly pinpointed their profit margins down to the penny. For $8.10 they won’t be in-the-black selling 3D water. But for $8.11, its shoe shine time, baby!
Despite [...]

Digg.com is so right, this can’t go unnoticed…

…they get credit for having this Flash intro featured on the main page earlier today. As far as splash pages go this is already a tad over dramatic, but since its an intro for a congress of churches its just absurd. This is like the Star Wars Kid of ministry site intros  Check it out.

Must See Tv (with Must See Stuff in a TV)

This awesome ad for this new Phillips Cinema TV is getting a lot of visibility this week, so I’ll hop on the bandwagon too.  The entire two minute piece is frozen in time with only the camera moving. Yep, Matrix style but even longer and more Matrixy then anything the movies did.  And once you [...]

Perfect isometric 3D animation!

This animation, Subprime by Mike Winkelmann is amazing. Lets get that obvious comment out of the way. Please watch it because the still shots below do not do it justice and I think its important to understand what’s so unique about Subprime. But if you don’t get it just from watching it, here goes…
Mike’s camera [...]

Best site I’ve seen in a while….

…Here it is: Motorola: Public Safety Solutions but you’ll have to launch it fullscreen and let it take over your mind’s eye!!  Its a small price to pay though for epic quality, because this is one of those rare sites where the fullscreeniness actually pays off…

To see this really sweet crash zoom into the city (freeze [...]

Very cool, Text-to-Movie Site.

Thanks Jaz, for tipping me off to this very dynamic Flash site, Xtranormal.com . You start with a screen like the one below,  begin typing your script and adding tons of other features to “direct” the movie…
… then you end up with a movie you can post to YouTube or wherever. Here’s a few pics [...]
