Trukish New York Times

Imago Has done this amazing piece to advertise the New Turkish edition of the New York Times.

"We constructed typographic versions of the most recognizable landmarks in Manhattan and Istanbul, and created a compact tour taking the audience from the New York Harbor all the way to the Bosphorus. Actual pages from the first issue of the newspaper were used to create the textures used in the scenes. The financial news page became NYSE and Wall Street, entertainment news turned into Times Square, and so on.

The result is 60 seconds of typographic goodness, mastered in 2K cinema resolution."

"The video looks and feels like a first-​person shooter war game, with excellent POV camera work and sound design. The camera runs and ducks through the environ ment, hiding behind walls and in trenches, while being assailed from all sides by heli copters, fighter jets, tanks, and explosions made of type."

The Cat Piano

The Cat Piano is an 8-minute short film directed by Eddie White and Ari Gibson. The Cat Piano features the voice of iconic Australian artist Nick Cave narrating a poem written by Eddie White. Nick Cave recorded the narration whilst in Melbourne in 2007 while on tour with his band, The Grinderman.

The film was jointly produced by Jessica Brentnall and The People’s Republic of Animation.

The film is adapted from a poem written by Co-director Eddie White who envisioned Nick Cave as his first choice for narrating the poem which blends Jack Kerouac inspired beat poetry with the romantic and haunting poems of Edgar Allen Poe.

The film’s graphic 2D look is achieved by animating the entire film by hand in Adobe Photoshop, drawing with Wacom tablets directly into the computer. This highly versatile technique of animation is quickly becoming a signature style at The People’s Republic of Animation’s 2D department headed by Ari Gibson, the film’s co-director.

Lucid Dreaming

This post from Tim Ferriss about lucid dreaming is great. It's such an odd thing to do and I never realised that people take it seriously enough to train themselves to get better at it.
