Ever wanted to use a really expensive super-fast modern computer to create a logo design that looks like it was airbrushed on the front of a 70’s T-shirt? Well you’re in luck! Freelance designer Harry J. Frank has posted a nice little tutorial that’s all about the chrome logo and glowing grid that floats in space for no reason (don’t forget the cheesy star filters). All you need is a couple hours of spare time a copy After Effects and an unhealthy nostalgia for electric pink and blue.

Hitler goes bananas after hearing that the film came back from the lab with a scratch on the neg that will have to be fixed in post. Classic.

The history of Australian television, by Foxtel.

Posted in: advert, Foxtel, hd, Videos: Idents

> Quicktime HD H.264
(32.7mb)
> iPod Compatible
(11.1mb)
> Watch in Flash
(10.5mb progressive)

Since my constant shilling for all things Foxtel HD apparently knows no bounds, I figure the least I could do is post the advert for the new high definition service too.

The commercial is a trip through Australian television history, from the first transmission in 1956, to the introduction of colour in 1975, right up to the launch of Foxtel HD, which I’m afraid probably won’t go down in history with the kind of reverence that they were probably hoping for, but it is an ad after all.

The song featured in the video is ‘Lost in Time’ by Melbourne artist Whitley.

– Big thanks to Christian for the video.
