The grand finale to end all grand finales. “You don’t need to understand the language, just watch the video… The ultimate movie scene of India, or the world may be. This is a scene from the most expensive telugu movie Magadheera!”

José González: “Far Away”. Two weeks ago I got on touch with a proper video game for the first time in months/years: Red Dead Redemption. Good one. And then I discovered this video one day later when in the game “John Marston, the main character, first reaches Mexico, riding horseback along a dusty trail between cascading red cliffs and the San Luis River; definitely one of Red Dead’s most visually and sonically memorable moments” - with this song playing. Makes the whole experience even better. Typical Rockstar. (Stopped playing anyways. I’m getting old.)

Blade Runner Revisited by François Vautier

Vautier’s tribute to Scott’s classic uses all 167,819 frames of the film:

“I assembled all these images to obtain one gigantic image of colossal dimensions: a square of approximately 60,000 pixels on one side alone, 3.5 gigapixels (3500 million pixels). He then panned a virtual camera above this giant image, creating the illusion of animation.

Fantastic.

The beauty of data visualization. Good posting at Flowingdata. “Connoisseur of scaled rounded rectangles, bubbles, and triangles_, David McCandless of_ Information is Beautiful talks data visualization in recently posted TED talk (below). He explains how information design can help us get through information glut on the Web and how simple charts can show patterns that we never would have seen otherwise. He uses his own works and collaborations as evidence.” Read the full posting here. And make sure to watch the embedded TED talk.

P.S.: Seems like I have to order this book.

Robyn performing Björks “Hyperballad” at the Polar Music Prize 2010 tonight. “Björk is in Sweden for the Polar Prize ceremony which takes place tomorrow, where she will be receiving One Million swedish Kronor from the hand of the His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf himself.” I know a lot of you folks like Robyn, but hey, sorry kids, this is not even close to the awesomeness of the original:

Feedly:

Feedly organizes your RSS feeds (Google Reader & Twitter) into a clean, magazine-like start page with full and easy control over your feeds when it comes to organizing, synching and usability. Discovered it just today, what might be a little late, na?, but hey: it’s still a fantastic experience – whenever. Worth giving it a try. Trust me.

EDIT: Looks like they deleted all the vids in their account. What a pity.

Arcade Fire are currently uploading their complete Reading 2010 performance into their Youtube account. The show was recorded by BBC3. “Ready To Start” is the first out of 17 songs. Seems to be their day in music news.

Yeah. It works. Good one. Could someone (that could be you, Tumblr developers) try to build something like this for Soundcloud embed players, please?

In today’s age, we don’t judge books by their covers. We judge them by their thumbnails. We also judge videos, e-books, software, and people the same way. Engaging an audience demands engaging them visually, no matter the medium. Some of our peers in the online video community recently noted that Tumblr allows the display of thumbnails for YouTube embeds on their dashboard, but other popular video sites, such as Vimeo and Blip.tv, are currently left out from showcasing their user videos with a thumbnail image.

Rocketboom R&D, the development unit of the Rocketboom network, has created a simple solution: a browser add-on that allows Tumblr users to see any video’s known thumbnail in their Tumblr dashboard. There’s no platform favoritism; this enables nearly every other common video platform the ability for thumbnail display. The add-on was created using Mag.ma, our own video aggregation service, to do thumbnail lookups for numerous video platforms with our simple API methods. The results? Uniformity for Tumblr users and creative support for content creators.

Get your browser add-on for Firefox, Chrome, or Safari, and visit the Tumblr Video Thumbnails add-on page for information, installation help, and more. Special thanks to our friends at Vimeo, Blip.tv, and Wreck & Salvage for their testing and support.
