Had a phenomenal party last night at the
VHX office... so I'm dragging a bit today. That being said, here's the
playlist... I hope it provides some much needed distraction.
- The Rip-Hoff - typically I do not love these kind of theme song slice ups but this one actually manages to tell a story and gets particularly absurd near the end. Approved.
- A Brief History of Video Game Title Design - I mostly loved the first minute of this for all its 8-bit nostalgia but it's really quite impressive to see just how close contemporary video games come to movies - there's almost zero difference.
- Calvin and Hobbes Dance - Animator Adam Brown took it upon himself to put a little motion behind Calvin and Hobbes as an homage. It turned out quite sweet. Oh, and great music from ProleteR.
- Arcade Fire - "Afterlife" Live - Gerta Gerwig is just the right balance of awkward and endearing in this performance, directed by Spike Jonze, from the Youtube Awards. Now I really have to see Frances Ha.
- Breaking News App - I somehow missed this promo piece from Sandwich Video until this week. The story behind it is great.
- Martial Arts Fails - because sometimes there's nothing more pleasurable than watching a proper FAIL compilation.
Have a great weekend! Get some rest! I know I will.
