• Some (not quite real) Hollywood Director’s help McCain

    NiallOctober 26, 2008

    Ok, while I am not going to comment on the election, apart from saying pray hard and consider the choice, I found this today which made me laugh, I guess because I appreciate the take on well known film director’s and genre’s being used to promote/poke fun at McCain. While not real, these are done quite cleverly. Enjoy.

    How many members of a committee does it take…?

    NiallJuly 30, 2008

    Sorry for so many posts today - I am having a quiet day and have been reading my News reader and reflecting on where things are going for me and the family. Anyway! This video was on a blog I read by someone employed to help produce media for a church in the US. I laughed so much throughout, relating to the poor designer the whole way through. My past in advertising, marketing and graphic design was so much like this video it is scary!

    You guys wander why many things look as they do… behold and wonder at the creative process! LOL! (more…)

    Hilarious jibe at the US Political Race

    Niall

    I have tried to stay out the various commentaries and talks about US Politics for a c ouple of reasons; 1. I am not up-to-date and don’t feel qualified to comment; and 2. It bores me no end.

    But, here goes my one and only (so far!) post about the US Presidential Race, courtesy of my mate Hirschy who featured it on his blog at The Forgotten Ways.

    Big Buck Bunny - Very Funny!

    NiallJune 5, 2008

    Thanks to a blog that I read - No Fat Clips - I discovered the very funny and delightful open source software-produced short film - “BIG BUCK BUNNY“. The short follows Big Buck Bunny as he awakes from a sleep to enjoy a beautiful day on the meadow, sniffing flowers and being entranced by butterflies, but his day is about cgange when he meets the spiteful squirrels!

    The film was produced to highlight the open source software - Blender - and the production took place in the Netherlands with a team from around the world. I screened it on my Mac for the wife and kids - and had the three kids roaring with laughter, not to mention my wife was laughing with the kids! The film is a delight to watch and an amazing credit to the software and team that that made it.

    The film has a pretty comprehensive website with news about the film and it’s production. So, worth checking out! They are also selling a DVD of the film - but in my view the price is waaay too high for the short film and the extras they have included. Come on guys - don’t be too greedy!

    But be sure to download the film and enjoy it with your kids (and spouse!). The film has a Creative Commons Licence and is available in multiple formats and sizes! Spread the word and enjoy the film - I would love to hear your thoughts about it.
