Build It And They Will Come (Thanks To The Internet!)

Caine is a nine year old boy who built his own cardboard arcade. He only had one customer but he did not let that stop him. One day, everything changed…

Visit the site for Caine’s Arcade: http://cainesarcade.com/
And give a little something to Caine’s scholarship fund.

I can’t help but think that this only a moment of minutes before Chase or some other thief masquerading as an institution steals this lovely short and makes it into a commercial without paying the originators (like they did with the Brooklyn Space Program).

What Can YOU Do?

We all have unique talents, right? It takes a little training to bring them out though.

If Only My House Could Be Invaded By Music-playing Robots…

Well, this is the next best thing…

Is it only me, or does everyone else always hear the James Bond theme when I walk into a room?

WOW! What Can YOU Do?

tedhope — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 15:00:48 +0000

When you look at an artist, an athlete, a leader, sometimes your jaw just drops at their incredible talents and skills. I can not even fathom how someone does what Marcell Endrey does in setting this World Record For Blind Folded Rubik’s Cube Completion…

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…
