Chicken verses Penguin, who would win?

Well obviously the chicken would win, but we won’t even go there. Anyway–some story. This one obscure camera company, Nikon, decided to head up a short-film contest about your life in a day. While this was obviously just a ploy to get some attention to their newer cameras ability to shoot in high definition (wow), and I didn’t really care about winning $100,000 for making the best video, since, to be honest, I’m not good, BUT the winner’s video is gold. Definitely one of my favorite short-films of all time, OF ALL TIME.

Here it is:

I’m an Avatar

So I saw Avatar in 3D the two days ago.  It totally blew my mind.  I don’t know if it was the 3d that I liked (that was my first movie to see in 3D), or if it was the movie alone that made the move so great.  The answer I’m leaning toward is that 3D probably helped…a little.

So much to do, so much to see

Yet I’m still playing this game: Toss the Turtle

I’ll warn you that it is a little bloody, but it’s extremely fun and addicting.  Proceed carefully.  ;)  In other news, I’ve been busy, taking lots of pictures, lots on my mind, and Harding coming up soon.  I have plenty to blog about, but little motivation.  My next task is to get a different layout for this blog and then post some pictures (in higher than 400px width that this layout currently allows).  In the meantime, stay cool, and go to school.  ;)

Another crazy stop-motion

I love a good idea.  A successful person gets a good idea and runs with it.  A brilliant person starts with a good idea and makes it even better.

I just made that up for this video–it starts off with a neat idea, then goes even further.    Check it out–

I love experiments

I like experiments like this one (Man in front of the tanks).  I could try to explain it, but I couldn’t give it justice.  In a sentence, it’s a guy with a little money trying to find out how much the Chinese know about their true history.  It’s crazy how much the government censors.

I also thought that these poorly drawn illustrations of Pixar and Dreamworks are hillarious, just because it’s so true (yet the movies were great).  :)
