Now This is Dancing! Cut Loose

Here's a great piece of editing cut to the song Footloose by Kenny Loggins.  Great stuff.

Nokia and Burton working together

Fine video pushing Nokia's Push project morphing technology and skating/snowboarding, Burton Style.  This is fun to watch and very cool technology.  Good stuff.

Procrastination - Animation

Here's a fine piece of animation created by John Kelly.  It won a 2007 contest sponsored by the Royal Academy.  Simple, solid sound track with great sound effects.

Burger King, what were you thinking? It's horrible, it's terrible, it STINKS.

The new Burger King 'Breakfast March' campaign is perhaps the worst commercials/campaigns I have ever seen.  It's surely an odds on favorite for worst campaign of the decade and the decade has just begun.  I would gladly pay money to the investment bank that just bought Burger King to NOT run this commercial.  Really, it's terrible... just take a look.  I would rather eat a gross of BK cardboard crowns than watch this campy campaign.  It's an unending stream of morons marching and singing as they goofily stomp off to Burger Kings on a bad Hollywood set.  The campaign is devoid of creativity - it does even the word campy injustice.  The only reason I keep watching these ads is to satiate my puerile fascination with how much lower the campaign can possibly wallow into bad taste hell.  Can this ad campaign possibly make people go to Burger King?  Which self respecting agency could charge money to create these ads and was the client on crack who created them?   Imagine how bad the runner up ideas must have been!  Better luck next time Burger King.  Put a monkey on screen in your next ads and you are SURE to do better than what you have now.

Restrepo: The Front Line in Afghanistan

Here's an intense new doc from Sebastian Junger (Perfect Storm) and Tim Hetherington ('Liberia: an Uncivil War' and 'Long Story bit by Bit : Liberia Retold').  The film chronicles a unit's real experiences at a remote oupost in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley.  The doc has been called a real life version of the Hurt Locker.  The film won 2010 Sundance Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary.  Riveting emotional footage - not for the feint hearted.
