iPad Stop Motion Tear Down

Thought this was worth showing. Not sure I would attempt this myself but they do make it looks easy. I wonder how they get it open in the very beginning when it opens like a car hood.

"And Then There Was Salsa"

(UPDATE: This video has been removed from Vimeo as of Jan 2011)

The reason I am not embedding this video is because you must see the original on Vimeo to get the full effect.  This video is incredible.  I don’t want to give too much away before you see it so go take a look before you read on.

The other day a friend of mine sent me a link, “check this out”.  So I followed the link expecting just another cool video or website that might get a little laugh or “that’s neat!”.  When I hit play I was still in lets just say robot mode, but then, what, wait a min what’s happening?  The video just came out of the video.  No wait what happened to Vimeo?  The entire screen was video.  Pieces of vegetables were flying across the screen and then just like that the video was over and we were back in Vimeo.  The highly creative seamless transition from a everyday video on the web to a full screen 3D craziness was like getting splashed with a bucket of ice cold water.  I will not forget this advertisement and I’ll be willing to share, blog, talk about it for a long time.  I’d love to know who did this.  If you have any idea post a comment.  I’m sure these guys worked some crazy hours to make this happen.  It might become a new standard in advertisement some day.

Red Dead Redemption

Red Dead Redemption

Roughly 2 years ago after watching 3:10 to Yuma I thought to myself, “wouldn’t a wild west game be awesome”.  No one has really made one and it would be a nice change from the aging Grand Theft Auto series. Well the other day I was browsing Rockstar Games looking to see when the next GTA release might be on its way and instead found something much more exciting.  Red Dead Redemption.  I’ll let the gameplay introduction video do all the talking.

Conclusion:
Rockstar Games has done it again and created another masterpiece.  I can’t wait to get my hands on this game.

Browsing on Facebook today I came across this video.  I am sucker for sick motion graphics/special effects like this.  I’m still trying to figure out how they did it.  Amazing!
