Losing Your Teeth

It happens, even in really cute tribute shorts to spike jonze and/or where the wild things are, like this one.

What Can You Shoot On A Cell Phone?

Anything! But this is pretty neat, particularly when they show you the rig after. Think of this a bit of a video game yarn.

A Good Yarn On How One Is NOT The Loneliest Number

Stop motion! Some may be a little intense for sub-7 yr old eyes but our 11 yr old censor says “all ages”. Fun and moving and about math too!

May All Our Buildings Come Alive! Projection Mapping Is Awesome!

tedhope — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 12:27:46 +0000

Okay, so yes, this is a commercial for Android, but it pretty darn amazing. I saw another projection mapping project about a year ago in NYC as part of the Vimeo Awards at the IAC center, and was blown away by that too.

Imagine a “festival” where a city had a multiple of these set up, all with a bit of an interlocking story to them. If I was opening a building, a museum show, or having some sort of city-wide event, I would want to have something like this as part of it.

Why Be Like Everyone Else?

I have met many filmmakers who were avid skateboarders in their teens; some remain so today. Although scientists have yet to find a link between the two activities, but as they both encourage people to find their own personal style, you can see why there there is a connection.

Of course, filmmaking and skateboarding go together like peanutbutter and jelly. And my favorite city is always the bread for two great tastes, as this film proves.

Skateboarding is a bit challenging in New York City, particularly when you have a board like this…

Creativity In Action: Time Lapse Painting

tedhope — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 12:16:36 +0000

Yes it’s true, we love time lapse photography. We love watching the process of how things come together. It’s really great to see it with a painting though because you can see how the artist’s ideas change over time. They keep their CREATIVITY engine running at all times, taking the painting further. It’s pretty exciting to see what new ideas they come up with along the way.

I Am A Hula Hoop

If you were a one-eyed hula hoop what would you see when some human took you out on a playdate?

A camera was set on the hulahoop so you can see what it would see.

Every Letter Of The Alphabet In One Sentence

tedhope — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 15:00:09 +0000

A pangram sentence is precisely that: one that contains every letter in the alphabet. The most well known is probably “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” but how many more can you learn?

It must be kind of neat to be known as the inventor of a sentence. It’s a bit different than be a “writer”. Nevin Nollop is the inventor of the most well known panagram.

2011: What An Amazing Year!

tedhope — Sat, 21 May 2011 15:21:30 +0000

This year we’re going to experience four unusual dates: 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11.

On top of that, this year, July has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens once every 823 years.

And here’s a neat trick that will work for everyone: Take the last two digits of the year in which you were born – now add the age you will be this year. The results will be 111 for everyone in whole world if you’re born in the “1900’s”. If you were born in the “2000’s” then the number is only 11, i.e. 2000 + 11 years old.

I enjoy repetitive movement as much as the next, but somehow I don’t think I could find “the music in these circles”.
