Here is a Philip Bloom Meet Up in Key West where they spent the day shooting Anamorphic, with an anamorphic clamp. I don't think this video looks that great, but Im not sure if its the clamp or the lenses they used in the clamp. The Anamorphic Clamp available for $75 USD at vid-atlantic.com/anamorphic
Pick of the night: Mon 7/12 - Kings of Leon, Built To Spill, The Features @Hollywood Bowl All Ages Other shows of the night:
Interesting clip about a Canon concept camera. This camera is amazing and seems plausible in the next few years. Looks like photography as we know it might be replaced entirely, in the not too distant future. What do you think?
Do you think drive-thru restaurants should be closed?
This weekend in a jungle estuary, the DEA and local Ecuadorian police seized a prototype narco sub that may be the most sophisticated one yet. Complete with air conditioning and periscope, this 100 foot creation would have carried a more cocaine tonnage than any previously captured narco sub. To give you a perspective on the resourcefulness of these outlaws, consider this. A U.S. Navy Virginia Class attack submarine will run around $2.8 billion. But a drug lord in Cartagena would make you one...

This blog process explains the thought process and research that went into creating this wanted poster for the new movie Jonah Hex, which stars Megan Fox and Josh Brolin. I really like the in-depth background, and the linocut he made. Admittedly it looks awful, but it's from the same people who made Crank, so maybe it's watchable.
That's a real big origami model; only in Japan!
Instead of taking the standard approach of writing a show review about how amazing or horrible a band played, I thought I'd turn around and review the crowd for each show that I go to. I'm interested in the types of people and demographics each artist/band attracts. In the end, crowd response is pretty clutch.
Love folk art but could do without the folk? Prepare to have your heart stolen by a self-folding origami automaton.
Animal Collective has a new music video for their single, "Guy Eyes", off their acclaimed release, Merryweather Post Pavilion. What do you think?
Ricky Ficarelli does some rather good editing for his duel drum kit cover of Lady Gaga's Telephone. I was initially hoping it was twins and not one guy.... bummer. But the mix is cool. Not Travis Barker cool, but alright.
What's this? Something new! Do you think we'll get another person on our homesteads when she comes to teach?
Quasi-hack, all-and-out prank, it's amazing what you can do with an airbag... Previously, What Every Man Wants in Bed.
He could also be a great Butterfinger sponsor, or some kind of lube product, as well as.... well, butter.
Sounds like an odd bragging right, but hold your horses, artist Hannes Langeder's handmade Porsche is pretty damn interesting.
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." -Leonardo da VinciLearning a kata requires that you go through several stages. First you have to learn the basic pattern and the techniques. Then you have to perfect what you've learned. Then you have to deconstruct what you've learned and perfected in order to truly understand what the kata is teaching you vis a vis close quarter engagement.
SlashFilm Offers a Frame-by-Frame Analysis SlashFilm has a very interesting article examining the striking similarities between the 2009 Academy Award-winning film Up and a French university student's short film, Above The Beyond.
I really enjoyed this article.
This is a great story about the title of a story. It can be really useful for any of you trying to think of a title for a story you have already written and it is also great when you are trying to write a story from a title you already know. Hope you enjoy!

via WonderHowTo World, Cinematography: A friend of mine sent this site to me a year ago: Light Boner. And if it were updated more often, it'd be my home page. Designer/Developer Jarred Bishop curates this jaw-dropping collection of epic-light photos. Seriously, a lot of these photos look like stills from the most visually important films you've never seen. Here's a smattering:
FrontierVille reminds me of FarmVille's land design, Treasure Isle's collectibles, Mafia Wars energy consumption all wrapped up with an Oregon Trail theme. I like very much that when I need energy, it's actually available to find or earn and that there's really very little to wait for. The 5 and 15 minute crops keep you coming back to harvest. The bonus meter keeps you clicking on things as quickly as you can. There's a bit of strategy involved with your space plan and game play. You can real...
More CPR education (the super gratuitously sexy way). If you're hypnotized and you missed Lesson #1, now would be the time to check it out... Previously, HowTo: Learn CPR (the Super Sexy Way).
It's official, people! Soon you'll be able to play FarmVille on your iPhone as an app. There's no release date yet, though they think it'll probably be around June 19. I wonder - could you connect your Facebook FarmVille to your iPhone FarmVille? Or would those be two totally separate things?
It's a dessert that consists of "creamed cod-flavoured ice cream coated in vanilla and pepper batter, accompanied by potato ice cream chips made with Maris Piper potatoes, all served with salt and vinegar and lemon wedges".
Gamers can read, too! This book is slated to come out in October. Of course there'll be arguments over what should have been included, what got overlooked, and what's overrated. Which video games do you think belong in the "must-play" categories?
E3 is around the corner and new game information is being leaked or revealed everywhere. Deus Ex was a huge hit a long time ago. Think Bladerunner. The trailer actually looks amazing and it's obviously all cgi. I've seen actual in game screen shots, and it looks ok. I'll wait till the gameplay videos come out before making any judgements.
Cameroon has a lot to offer and even more to prove. But this article doesn't help anyone.
Interesting read, if not too sensationalist and bait for needless thought.
I remember reading this article every World Cup, regarding different teams. Italy, Brazil, Germany, Switzerland. What do you think?
Upcoming Peanuts game. Thought it was a cool looking picture of the gang.
Wow, naked + batman + tattoo/body painting = some pretty "out-there" art... Korean artist Kim Joon has been fascinated with tattoo culture ever since his days in the military as a young man. Since, he has taken his obsession into the fine arts realm, treating the human body like a blank canvas. Interestingly, his images are not created as one might expect. No physical painting of the models is actually involved.

I thought I would start with a nice boring link to Palm Wikipedia site ! :-] as you do ! http;//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/palmistry
Once I get how this exactly works... I think reading it will be a blast and easy! Just bare with us!
This is really more Director Humor, but I thought the shots pulled from Where's Waldo are classic. If you don't know who Werner Herzog is then you should find out...
Stephen Hawking asks: "is time travel possible? Can we open a portal to the past or find a shortcut to the future? Can we ultimately use the laws of nature to become masters of time itself?"
