Visual Tributes to Steve Jobs

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 10:50:17 -0700

I don’t know what to say about Steve Jobs that hasn’t already been said. Fittingly, these images say even more, not least because they were created, sent out, and shared on the medium he pioneered.

If you don’t know what SBTB stands for without looking it up, you can just stop reading this right now. Everyone else, THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER. Seriously, just click play and watch your day delightfully disappear.

I’ve been intrigued in the next non-sequel offering from Pixar, Brave, ever since it was titled “The Bear and the Bow”, and as the official teaser trailer has now been released, its definitely worth looking forward to.

This guy recreated the entire Cars 2 trailer using Lego and stop-motion animation, including the studio logos, and he doesn’t even have 1000 view on YouTube. The world is a crazy place.

Tintin Trailer

Tue, 17 May 2011 14:10:40 -0700

Tintin Trailer:

Billions of bilious blue blistering barnacles! Despite some trips into the uncanny valley, the Tintin trailer looks pretty spectacular. It remains to be seen how the characters will hold up, especially because we only get to see a vacant stare from our protagonist, and everyone else is either covered up, far away, or moving too quickly. Hopefully this is to build anticipation, and not to hide the realisticreepiness.
