A Day Made of Glass 2 reveals more innovative ideas

Cris Popenoe — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 15:15:55 +0000

05:59 One would hardly think a video about glass would go viral, but that’s what happened to a futuristic glimpse at the ways glass could be used in day-to-day life, from tablet screens to home appliances to car dashboards. Both the original and this sequel feature a family of four going about a normal day, aided by glass-pane tablets and touchscreen walls. But the sequel reveals an even broader view of the role specialty glass could play in the near future, reaching out of the home and into hospitals, schools, even parks.

Catvertising: cat videos rule & are future of marketing

Cris Popenoe — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 15:00:39 +0000

02:28 In this faux commercial, an agency promises to “lead the industry into a brand-new communications era,” explaining why cat videos are the future of advertising – even displaying a graph that shows cat videos becoming 90% of total web content by 2015. Of course, this is a parody, but it does make some good points. Cats are pretty cheap talent so they provide excellent ROI – they just need a little food and water. And honestly, who doesn’t love an adorable cat video?

Louie Schwartzberg: Nature, Beauty, Gratitude

Cris Popenoe — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 14:30:56 +0000

09:56 Nature’s beauty can be easily missed – but not through Louie Schwartzberg’s lens. His stunning time-lapse photography and human vignettes, accompanied by powerful words from Benedictine monk David Steindl-Rast and music, serves as a meditation on being grateful for every day and giving back to those who are less fortunate.

New Bone: thinking of others can brighten a dog’s day

Cris Popenoe — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:00:39 +0000

01:01 A dog gets a special bone and is the envy of all the neighborhood dogs, who try to get their paws on it. They follow him as he hightails it through streets, alleys, and backyards until he reaches his final destination: the yard of his bloodhound friend, who has a bandaged paw and a cone around his head.

Loom: stunning dramation animation of a moth caught in spider’s web

Cris Popenoe — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 14:00:45 +0000

05:20 Stunning dramatic close-up animation of a moth being caught in a spider’s web, perfectly scored. It’s essentially a dramatic vision of insect life at its cruelest. Although that doesn’t sound particularly involving, wait until you see the film. Struggling for an escape, the moth’s panic movements only lessen its chance of survival. The spider appears, claims its prey and feeds on it. The close-up POV creates an intense relationship between hunter and victim.
