THE FANTASTIC MR. FOX.

fantastic-mr-fox-2

The promise of Wes Anderson’s new film, The Fantastic Mr. Fox, seems a little hard to deliver on BUT……it’s like, c’mon!!!!! Roald Dahl, George Clooney, Jarvis Cocker, Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe, and Owen Wilson all signed on so why can’t you? Like, you don’t always have to be so stuffy. Maybe a stop motion film that looks like a furry fetish video is just the thing that you need to take you to tier two. Check out more at COOL HUNTING.

A Kenneth Anger retrospective has been going for a sweltering minute at PS 1 out in the borough of Queens. We suggest getting there early on a Saturday to pay your respects to the godfather of shock cinema, FOX News, and TMZ and then stick around for fun times in the sun.

RAMMELLZEE FLUSHES OUT THE HEAD GARBAGE.

rammellzee

When you become a living, breathing, writer of copy for a small family of talented folks who help people tell stories for a living; you sometimes get stuck staring at blank pages, wishing your finger tips were actually straws and the keys of your computer were little mouths sucking the words straight from your brain into your hard drive. This occasional feeling always ends with a visit to Rammellzee’s website and guarantees a good garbage flush for our head. The Word Warrior declared war on the word 30 years ago and he’s been waging it ever since. Check it out HERE.

ZEVS LIQUIDATES CHANEL ON THE ARMANI FLAGSHIP.

home01.JPG

Zevs got nabbed in Hong Kong while throwing up a drippy droppy “liquidated” Chanel logo on the Armani store in preparation for his first solo show in Hong Kong. By staking his claim in the “brand war” he really pissed off Armani and is getting sued for HK$6.7 million. The flip side is maybe we can expect his show to sell out???

PIXAÇÃO’S BARBARIAN ALPHABET.

pixa

The glorious menace of PIXAÇÃO has been disseminating through the streets of Sao Paolo for decades, leaving the whole population to feel as if they are living in Suicidal Tendencies’ band room. These videos capture the primitive form of graffiti as it lives now while giving a little back story of how it derived over the years from heavy metal imagery, barbarian alphabets, and pissed off favelans wanting to ram a paint can into the faces of the upper class. Thanks to Cool Hunting for putting this together.

TAILGATING THE TOUR DE FRANCE.

Picture 4

The rampant celebrations of the Tour De France lining the road throughout “euro land” essentially boil down to the fanciest tailgate party that a pretentious, baguette-eating, beret-wearing, no goodnik could possibly piss off middle america with. The only thing that could make it’s awesomeness more infuriating is if Bruno was there shoving a fist full of cured meats covered in brie topped with a smoking gitane up his…..whoa…nevermind. Lots of cured meats, lots of cheese, awesomeness, gitanes, and cycling; all captured beautifully by Brent Humphreys for his Project Le Tour. Check it out.

Houdini 1st test:Splash simulation

Hi all,
I’m new in the forum and about 3 weeks ago I started the study of Houdini because i want to make a VFX reel after about 3 year of generalist in Maya for hobby.
Now this is my first test of a water splash. My goal was to achieve a good mesh and simulation and I didn’t care too much about the rendering 🙂
Hope you’ll like it.
I attach the animation and a still:

ALDRIN HASSELBLADS IT ON THE MOON.

Picture 14

“We” have a bad habit. Or at least one of us does and it consists of breaking cameras during moments that are intensely worthy of photographs. And not just breaking, SMASHING. Off the side of a boat, stepped on, dropped in toilets, and the list goes on. Give us (me) the opportunity to take a real picture of a bigfoot or something equally mysterious or elusive and we (I) can guarantee the camera will spontaneously evaporate in my hands. So, good thing the above headline says ALDRIN HASSELBLADS IT ON THE MOON because if it was the other way around it would be like: CLAYTON SERIOUSLY DROPS THE BALL AND SMASHES HIS HASSELBLAD WHILE TRYING TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE MOON LANDING.Picture 4
