  • Amazing Short Animation of Stanely Kubrick Films
  • Three Amazing Animations
  • Happy First Night of Hanukkah!
    • ]]>     The Night We Were Kings

    “The Night We Were Kings”  is truly beautiful short animated film by five students, Chloé Nicolay, Mandy Wyckens, Anthony Lejeune, Gaspard Sumeire, and Léa Justum, from the Gobelins School of Image in Paris, France. It is so rich and poignant. A wonderful reminder of what it is to be young and in love. NSFW, brief animated nudity.

  • 10 Excellent Video Game Fan Films
  • Chip Kidd Interviews Neil Gaiman!
    • ]]>     Today is the big day for fans of American Football. I love the spectacle of this quasi-national holiday. I’m not a big fan of either team, the Giants or the Patriots, so I hope it’s a good game. But I found this great video on YouTube showing the best Superbowl ever, in my opinion, the Rams beating the Titans in 1999. Of course being a lifelong Rams fan has nothing to do with my opinion, yep totally unbiased.

  • Photoshop helps the Hubble!
  • Digital Ephemera for July 20, 2011
    • ]]>     For this week’s How They Did It, I had to share this amazing video I saw on boing boing, Excavating an ant colony. Pretty amazing what these little guys can do. Fact beats fiction any day! Plus I love the description of the ant colony, “the giant megalopolis of the ants,” yep that about sums it up.

  • Good Read: Slide:ology by Nancy Duarte
  • How They Did It — Nancy Duarte Edition
  • Good Read: Presentation Zen
    • ]]>
    This week’s good reads is Resonate: Present Visual Stories that Transform Audiences by Nancy Duarte.

    Yes, I know, I know, yet another book on presentation design and another book from Nancy Duarte? But come on, and not to sound too much like a teenager, this book is totally awesome and you’ll love it. I’m almost tempted to use an emoticon to say how much I like this book. :-) Oh man, see what Resonate made me do!

    It is not simply about making great presentations but it is a resource for coming up with visual storytelling solutions. A presentation should tell a story and this book shows you how to do that by using time tested principles of narrative. It’s heady stuff, but it is well worth your time.
