Wow. Really blown away by this piece. Mobile Mobile, created by James Théophane Jnr is really clever and really well done. From the description:

Work asked me to do something for their Christmas card. I work for an Interactive Agency.

To cut a long story short, after a company-wide upgrade the agency had a lot of old mobiles gathering dust. We took these, built and hoisted a gigantic interactive chandelier/mobile that plays Christmas jingles in our reception.

If you feel especially sadistic this holiday, you can play the thing live from there website and annoy the people in the company’s reception area: xmas.lbi.co.uk

Here’s how it was made.

Conor Knighton, Sarah Haskins, Ben Hoffman, Brett Erlich, and Sergio Cilli take a look back at all crazy shit going on in the media for 2009.

Great show. Not only because I did all the animation work for the Retrospectatties, but in general one of my favorite shows on the air. Watch it.

Even just calmly answering questions and smoking his cigar, Welles has such an imposing presence.

…still worth the watch.

Simple and elegant concept. Extremely hard to pull off.

Very cool.

Bon Jovi loves the ironic. His newest music video is called “We Weren’t Born to Follow”, and somehow it manages to completely rip off the title sequence that Micah Hahn, Mike Beynart and myself created for Current TV’s Embedded Series. For a song who’s title claims they weren’t born to follow, whoever created the video missed the meaning.

Yes, I said it. The video is a rip-off, a copy, a fake. I’ve been noticing this for awhile tho, big name artists and the massive corporations behind them have no shame in biting off of the work of other artists who aren’t as big as they are; a prime example being one of the most blatent rip-off artists of all time, Timbaland.

I guess I should be flattered, but honestly, Jovi’s video isn’t just a blatant bite, but it’s a POORLY done rip-off. C’mon now, if you’re going to rip off my work, at least improve on it.

Now you might say “…but Bon Jovi’s video premiered Oct 10, 2009, and Embedded aired on Oct 14th!”. Well to that I’ll say that Embedded was originally supposed to air in early September, and promo’s for the show (which include segments of the title sequence) were viewable on Current.com and on Current TV for a good month or so in advance. You decide for yourself.

Embedded Title Sequence:

Bon Jovi’s “We Weren’t Born to Follow”…heh

Star Trek + Nine Inch Nails = Closer

Awesome.
