It’s not just any glowing microphone stand either but a magical one, one that controls the crazy visuals that are going on all around him. If he tilts the stand one way, the visuals follow [...]

Do Computers Dream of Electronic Sheep ?

Filmmaker Benjamin Bardou uses CGI from the GTA IV video game to create a series of swooping, brooding images that are all about a mood rather than a definite narrative. A pervading sense of uneasiness, foreboding, and the ambience of Blade Runner is created through the droning sounds of Scottish musician Steve Moore’s track “Logos” [...]

Fashion Film

The breathless model flowing about in her retro-styled perfect life is a fashion cliche that could do with being buried deep beneath the earth and never being heard of again. Or if it is, it should only be dug up if the person using it is taking the complete piss out of it in a [...]

Make sure you’ve got some tissues nearby–no, not for that reason. This is the weepy kind of video, which is about the over half a million cards, letters, and drawings sent to the people of Newton, Connecticut to comfort them after the abominable massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
