MUJI x LEGO Paper & Punch Set

With its unorthodox “no-brand-name” and minimalist store layouts, MUJI has become a respected brand on a global scale despite its lack of presence outside of Japan. Nevertheless MUJI’s well-stocked stationery collection has teamed up with LEGO on an interesting project. Combining LEGO’s traditional block creations with paper, you’re able to add a new dimension to pre-existing LEGO build-outs. Unfortunately, these will only be available through MUJI stores.

Tim Burton MOMA Exhibition Preview

The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York City will be soon opening a retrospective showcase of Tim Burton’s iconic work within its walls. Seen here is a preview of whats in store as well as a description of the exhibition, running through April 26th, 2010, courtesy of the MOMA.

“This major career retrospective on Tim Burton (American, b. 1958), consisting of a gallery exhibition and a film series, considers Burton’s career as a director, producer, writer, and concept artist for live-action and animated films, along with his work as a fiction writer, photographer and illustrator. Following the current of his visual imagination from early childhood drawings through his mature work, the exhibition presents artwork generated during the conception and production of his films, and highlights a number of unrealized projects and never-before-seen pieces, as well as student art, his earliest non-professional films, and examples of his work as a storyteller and graphic artist for non-film projects. The opposing themes of adolescence and adulthood, and the elements of sentiment, cynicism, and humor inform his work in a variety of mediums—drawings, paintings, storyboards, digital and moving-image formats, puppets and maquettes, props, costumes, ephemera, sketchbooks, and cartoons. Taking inspiration from sources in pop culture, Burton has reinvented Hollywood genre filmmaking as a spiritual experience, influencing a generation of young artists working in film, video, and graphics.”

An opening is scheduled for Sunday, November 22nd, 2009 with further information available here.

The new Blair Witch?

If you are a fan of horror films, you are going to love the latest low budget movie to come out of the US. Despite the fact it was only shown on 160 screens across the US, it took $7 million at the box office on its first weeknd.

Made on a budget of only $15,000 the makers were nervous about the reception it would receive and initially let university students see it for free. They then asked them to vote online if they liked it, and promised to release it when 1 million people had voted. Clever !

The film is made mostly on a hand held camcorder and is about a young couple who have just moved into their fitst home in San Diego. The become convinced that a demonic presence lurks in their bedroom and decide to set up a video camera to watch it!!

It isn't released in the Uk in November but you can watch the trailor below. Check out the audience reaction.

MySpace’s Tom Joins Facebook

Tom might have been officially removed from power at MySpace, but he’s still officially a “friend” to millions of the site’s members.

However, he’s now poking around the social network that supplanted his own as top dog: Facebook. At least in the world of satirical Facebook profiles.

Complete with pokes from Rupert Murdoch, wall comments from Mark Zuckerberg (Mr Facebook himself), and astute observations about the differences between Facebook and MySpace), Comedy.com [click for full img] has done a stellar job at this one:

Marge Simpson for Playboy Magazine (NSFW)

Taking an unorthodox approach to their November issue, Playboy Magazine assisted in The Simpson’s 20th Anniversary with a revealing spread featuring everyone’s favorite animated mom, Marge Simpson.

Watch Ten Minutes of Glorious Bullet Impacts at 1,000,000 FPS

A rare double post from me but had to do it



I'm no warmonger, but I can think of no finer way to waste Friday afternoon than spending 10 minutes of the company's time watching bullets striking various objects at one million frames per second. The footage is just totally unbelievable.

To reach far beyond typical high speed photography (keep in mind, we're talking over 41,000 times the speed of traditional film), the footage was captured using dual Shimadzu HPV-1 cameras shooting at a scant 312x260 resolution. Regardless, the black and white tonal detail is still more than good enough to astound.

For a special treat, load the clip around 7:30 in to watch what happens when a hollow point bullet strikes what looks like cement. The bullet's clinical deconstruction...I don't even know what to say, other than I have an inkling why those bad boys are illegal no idea why those bad boys aren't illegal (sorry, I get all my bullet knowledge from 80s movies).

Vote for the UK's biggest DJ Talent - DJ Cable

In my opinion there are very few DJ's that I know personally who I can see making it big Nationally and Internationally, who has the imagination to keep the most diverse crowds entertained and who isnt afraid not to play a track just because ever other micky mouse Dj's are playing it on the scene.

I do beileve that this DJ has no where hit his full potential, but when he does the world will hear about it massivly.

I have almost all his mixes on my iPod and my favourite has to be the Alize Remixed competiontion mix where its simply put as 10 mins of genius which he went on to win and did the warm up set for the world famous Grand Master Flash!!!!!

Aswell as representing the UK in the DMC battles numerous time DJ Cable needs help to win his next stage of competitions. The Grolsh Bloc Party competition.

Single: She Likes To (The England 10)

Artist: Wiley Feat J2K, Wrigley, Ice-Kid, Wretch 32, Ghetts, Bashy, Scorcher, Chipmunk and Griminal
Release Date: September 7th (Digital only)


Following on from the success of previous singles Cash in my Pocket, Summertime and smash hit Wearing my Rolex, rapper, producer and MC legend Wiley is set to return with the release of his latest track She Likes To.

The new single is available from September 7th and features some of the hottest artists in the UK Grime scene including Wrigley, J2K, Bashy, Chipmunk, Wretch 32, Ice-Kid, Ghetts, Scorcher and Griminal. The track combines a killer beat with the fast flowing vocals and sharp witty lyrics, that Wiley has become well known for, and is a masterclass in modern urban music, from some of its brightest new stars.

The importance of Wileys contribution to the UKs urban music scene cannot be exaggerated. From UKG's 'Nicoles Groove' to being a member of Pay As You Go, Boy Better Know and, of course, Roll Deep, this enigmatic MC and prolific producer has more than earned the title of Godfather of Grime, whilst his recent chart success has now catapulted him in to the mainstream audience.

Sony reveals new motion controller

As you may of heard Sony are releasing a new line up of devices for the Sony Playstation 3 and could possibly be shipped with the Sony Playstation 3 Slim and Playstation 3 lite models due for release before the years end. Anyway here is a clip from the E3 showing off the new Sony motion controller.



As you can see this is much like Microsoft’s Project Natal which is a controllerless motion sensor device, things should get interesting later this year as to who will win the crown for best new device, you can expect this to hit the shelves in time for Xmas 2009.

Zevs - “Liquidated Logos” @ Art Statements Gallery (Hong Kong)

AM stopped by Zevs’ “Liquidated Logos” exhibition at the Art Statements Gallery in Hong Kong to bring you an exclusive first look at this wild show. The French street artist known for “flipping the script” on world renowned brands such as Coca-Cola and Chanel, broadened his scope to include fashion icon Louis Vuitton. Using his trademark technique of “liquidation,” Zev showed the trendy residents of Hong Kong his reinterpretation of Murakami x Louis Vuitton’s famous “multi colore” pattern among one of many iconic logos he has “liquidated”.

It seems fitting that the gallery is located in the very fashion conscious “Central” shopping district as Zev could easily share his “urban tastes” with the high end shops in the area. So easy in fact, Zev got hauled off by the local authorities for “vandalism” after being reported by the local hipsters (reported). Check out all the pics from the show after the jump.

Getting Started with VID Zone

Learn how to find your favourite artists and create playlists with the free music video application on PS3.

Once you’ve downloaded the VidZone application from PlayStation Store, an icon will appear under Music on the PS3 Home Menu (XMB); from then on, selecting this will open VidZone, providing access to a world of free music videos.

The first thing you will see is the Homepage, where you can use the left and right directional buttons on the Wireless Controller to browse through a selection of preset playlists. These are chosen and updated by VidZone every week and are based on most-viewed videos or certain themes, genres or eras.

You can select any of these with the X button and it will be added to your Now Playing list, which is like an ongoing playlist, allowing you to queue videos to play easily and quickly. At any time, you can press the SELECT button to enable or disable full-screen mode; the R1 and L1 buttons to skip to the next and previous tracks; the R2 and L2 buttons to fast-forward and rewind; and the START button to pause the current video.

Searching

As long as you aren’t in full-screen mode you can perform a search based on the name of the video, the name of the artist or the genre. Use the scrolling text bar to enter your search term and press the X button to check the results. Once you’ve highlighted the video you’re looking for, you can press the Square button to play it now, the X button to add it to Now Playing, or the Triangle button to bring up a list of options, such as adding it to one of your Playlists.

The Related Videos option in the main menu is useful if you’re enjoying the video currently playing and would like to see others by that artist or of a similar style. Simply select Related Videos to scroll through and play them there and then and add them to Now Playing or one of your Playlists.

Creating Playlists

VidZone allows you to create as many Playlists as you like, with no limit to how many videos you can add, and it’s really easy to do.

Select Playlists from the main menu, followed by my Playlists; this is where your party soundtracks and chill-out collections will appear, but as you haven’t created any yet, select New Playlist to get started.

First, give it a name and a description, then select Save Playlist to return to the My Playlists menu. From now, you can select any track in the Search menu and add it to any of your saved Playlists using the Triangle button. It’s as easy as that!

Remote Play for PSP

Whenever you have access to a Wireless Internet connection you can access the entire VidZone service on the move, using Remote Play for PSP.

First, make sure your PS3 and PSP systems are set up for Remote Play using the relevant guide on eu.playstation.com. Then it’s simply a case of selecting VidZone as you would if you were on your PS3 at home; the applications features and controls are also exactly the same.

Hopefully, with this guide you can start enjoying all of the great music videos and features VidZone has to offer in no time. If you’d like further information on this great application, or a more in-depth explanation of Remote Play for PSP, check out the related articles on eu.playstation.com.

Phillips sold their soul for 50 cents

In quite possibly the worst hip hop tune to ever be made coming out of the 50 Cent camp Phillips shamelessly collaborated with the jumped up loser by allowing him to use there superb Clown Video Viral. (See Below)



I don’t really know who is to blame here for the shocking collaboration, has the credit crunch hit Phillips so hard that they asked to be a major part of this super crap music video to sell more TV’s or was 50 pence trying to get more record sales by trying to piggy back off of what was until now a very good TV Product Campaign.

Seriously I sat and my desk and was a little bit sick in my mouth at how awful and disgusting this video is….. and the song is not even worthy to touch anyone’s eardrums.


I don’t normally rant about these things but I think the combination of Sun Stroke and 2 pints of cider at lunch has got me riled. The vile video is below





PS, Best part of the video is 2:39 in when quite possibly the worlds biggest ‘arse is revealed.

Amnesty Bus Stop Ad Knows If You’re Looking

This ad for Amnesty International called Eye Tracking was recently installed on a bus stop in Hamburg, Germany - featuring a built-in camera and eye-tracking technology. When no-one is looking, the ad displays an image depicting a case of domestic violence. Once the camera detects an onlooker, it switches (after a delay), showing the same couple looking rather happy and normal.

The ad picked up the Cannes Lions 2009 Outdoor Silver Award and seems to make use of technology similar to that built into many digital cameras for blink and smile detection.

This is a brilliant use of technology that dramatically intensifies the ad’s already powerful message. I hope we see more interactive ads like this in the future.

iPhone 3G running OS 3.0 unlocked, ultrasn0w release coming Friday

The iPhone Dev-Team (no relation) have been teasing us for a little bit now with what they've been saying is an iPhone OS 3.0-compatible version of yellowsn0w, and tonight in a video presentation they unveiled ultrasn0w, which should let you unlock any iPhone on the market, running any version of the firmware from 3.0 on down. The trick to how they're getting the jailbreak hasn't been revealed yet for fear of Apple making a fix at the eleventh hour, but if everything goes according to plan, the new hacking software should be out Friday in time for the iPhone 3G S (no guarantee it'll work on the new device). Hit up the link to watch the magic happen right before your very own eyes.

Michael Bay update: Imax version "longer cut and more robot fighting"

Taken from his blog

06/07/2009 10:14 PM
Hey everyone,

In Japan today. After a month and half seven days a week most days going till midnight me and my crew have just about finished Transformers. I have never seen such a level of dedication from every crew member in a movie before.

Even today after the press in Japan and right before the premiere tonight, I have to sneak out to a digital house to approve the last few effect shots.

It has been a long hard road, but really fun one to travel. What you will notice that is strikingly different than Transformers 1, is the level of animation detail. The robot characters (42 in all), you really can feel empathy for them. What is also very different is the sheer scale of the movie. We have been very tight holding back much of the best imagery in commercials and trailers.

The way to see this movie is on IMAX. Never before has there been 4k rendered character animation shot on full IMAX 70 mm film. This is a first and the results are stunning. You will see Optimus Prime in a few shots where he is actually perfectly to scale on the IMAX 50 foot tall screens.

For IMAX, I created a slightly longer cut with more robot fighting. Four scenes were shot on IMAX cameras so the screen will fill the full IMAX screen for these scenes.

Haters beware.

Michael

Free Media: Putting a value on digital free

Really good article by Alex Blyth from Media Week

Young people expect high-quality news, music, games, downloads and social networks - and all for free. In this context, can media owners ever make their digital propositions pay?



The uproar that followed Facebook's decision in February to change the terms by which it stores users' content highlighted many of the issues faced by the owners of free media.



While Facebook may have millions of highly engaged users and the ability to profile them by demographic and interest, those users see it as a free service and have so far resisted most attempts to make it a viable advertising medium. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg continues to search for a way to make significant money from his property.



He is not alone. While there is no denying the success of media brands based on offering users free services or content, it is still far from clear how advertisers can relate to many of those free media services and how the media owners can make money from them.



Generation Free wants free websites, social networks, mobile applications, mobile downloads and games, and it does not expect to have its experience interrupted by ads.



As brands and media owners wrestle with that challenge, some observers have begun to question whether free digital media has a future. Richard Williamson, director at KPMG's media practice, says: "The argument that all content is moving to free is fallacious. As the internet becomes more sophisticated, polarisation increases.



"Premium content such as Club Penguin, World of Warcraft and [business network] Xing will go to subscription and the majority of more marginal or undifferentiated content will be forced to go free to gain any sort of audience."



As we move deeper into a recession, this question becomes more pertinent.



The time is ripe for a look at free content: to see how advertisers are using it, to look at whether and how the media owners are making any money and, crucially, to see if the free digital media model has a future.



Online


Online media consumption is booming. According to the latest European Interactive Advertising

Association Mediascope Study in November 2008, online is the only form of media that has increased in terms of consumption in the past year. Time spent watching TV and consuming print media have both declined, while time spent listening to the radio remains static.



Consequently, major providers of free digital media such as Google, MSN and Yahoo have become as established as ITV, The Sun and Capital FM. They have also become adept at working with brands.



Phil Macauley, head of commercial services at Yahoo, describes a recent campaign: "In February, Yahoo and Nissan ran a campaign in major ski resorts in Europe. This involved designated Nissan ski runs where photos were taken of skiers and uploaded to Flickr, where skiers could see themselves on the slopes. There was also in-resort après-ski activity, promoted online via targeted display advertising on Yahoo."



Brands are increasingly using the reach of free websites such as Yahoo to connect with their consumers in this way. Most notably, with the growth of broadband, websites are raising revenue from their content through pre-roll advertising around video-on-demand.



Jamie Estrin, managing director of The Web TV Enterprise, offers two examples: "Consider a 25-year-old man who visits Nuts.co.uk to find out about the latest action films being served a trailer for the new Rambo movie before he starts watching a video clip. Or a 20-year-old girl viewing an exclusive interview on the Girls Aloud website being served a 10-second ad for the latest Motorola music phone."

Kanye West - Paranoid

Taking the usual artistic road, Kanye West introduces his latest music video for the track “Paranoid”, off his critically acclaimed 808s & Heartbreak album. The video captures the track title accordingly with a sultry appearance by chart topper, Rihanna. Oh and alot of people been slagging this track/video but tbh I dont really like Kayne and I like this track/video, but still not my cup of tea.

Nice & Simple

Free for a limited time, Email 'n Walk for the iPhone lets you safely (in theory) compose e-mails while walking by displaying a video feed taken live from the camera underneath your message. So, now you can see where you're walking while you type, without the distraction of looking up every few seconds.

Of course, this will only show you what's directly in front of the camera, so you'll still have to be careful of low hanging tree branches and telephone poles.

Z4 Augmented Reality - Phase 2

So as we have just launched the second iteration of Augmented Reality application (Mac users should now be happier) we thought it a good time to give a HUGE shout to all those that have worked on the both the Augmented Reality element but also the great online advertising campaign that is currently supporting it.

We have had some great results from the campaign overall including some great PR; with the application being downloaded over 9,500 times in its first 3 weeks of release. Also 18% of people who hit the bmw.co.uk/z43d landing page downloaded the application.

But the guys didn’t stop at an online campaign and AR application. They also turned up at the crack of dawn to take the Z4 for a spin around London. Check out BMW Z4 vs. London

Vodafone Bows as Week's Top Viral Ad Campaign

NEW YORK (Ad Age.com) -- For the first time since Visible Measures and Ad Age started publishing a viral video chart, a new campaign has nabbed the top spot. With 785,160 views, Vodafone's "Make the Most of Now" makes its debut as the week's most watched.

As a reminder, Visible Measures tracks viral campaigns for this chart; in some cases, a campaign can include multiple videos. In the case of "Make the Most of Now," Vodafone created several short videos, all of which are being measured.

Also new on the list: the Google Chrome shorts, a campaign the search giant recently extended to TV, and the uber-slick and sexy Chanel No. 5 ad that we've seen making the rounds on the web.

It is thought that the agencies are battling it out to handle advertising duties for a confidential product that is linked to the main Barclays brand but will be a group-wide initiative.

Neither agency’s existing advertising duties are thought to be affected.

Both agencies are currently on the Barclays roster. BBH handles the £25 million Barclays business and the £12 million Barclaycard account and produces the majority of the company’s consumer-focused ad campaigns.

The Ogilvy Group UK works on the company’s Barclays Wealth division and Barclays Capital accounts.

It picked up the former in 2006 and the latter in July 2008 after a pitch against undisclosed agencies. Before that, the account was at Saatchi & Saatchi.

A Barclays spokeswoman said: Both BBH and Ogilvy are on the Barclays roster to develop our brand, and we will continue to work with both agencies in the future. It’s business as usual.

BBH’s latest campaign for Barclays uses a voiceover from Stephen Merchant and sees a woman chasing porcelain piggy banks around her garden.

The ad promotes the company’s offset mortgage and is part of the bank’s one small step campaign, which saw the brand return to TV after an 18-month absence.

One billionth App Store downloader is Connecticut, USA teenager

Apple on Friday revealed that Connor Mulcahey, a 13 year-old from Weston, Connecticut, as the winner of its billion app countdown contest.

He downloaded Bump (which allows users to send contact information between iPhones) –the App Store’s billionth download, to his iPhone.

Apple awards Mulcahey a MacBook laptop, an iPod Touch, an Apple Time Capsule backup system and a $10,000 iTunes gift card. What a haul just for downloading a single app!

Connor said he learned he won through an e-mail sent to his iPhone on Thursday as he was on the way home from baseball practice. The vice president of iTunes ad written him personally to congratulate him, and he didn’t believe the news at first, considering it a prank. He admits downloading quite a bit recently, trying to win the prize, like many others, its assumed.

Connor is keeping the MacBook for himself, but he’s giving the one he bought a few weeks ago to his brother and sister. His iPod Touch is going to his mom. And he’s going to try to sell his $10,000 worth of iTunes songs on eBay — unless the money is directly deposited into his iTunes account.

“Then I guess that’s pretty much unlimited downloads for life,” he said.

Packard Bell goes reflective

When the e-mail popped into my inbox with the subject “Packard Bell” I was magically transported to my early teenage years, maybe even younger or, at least, to a time before Apple ruled the earth and beige expensive beige PCs were the household norm. I don’t know much about Packard Bell and, all things considered, it’s a brand that is as memorable as the pigeon waddling outside the window of the coffee shop I am writing this from. But I do remember the one kid in my class who had the Packard Bell at home. I can’t remember what brand we had at our home. I know it wasn’t Packard Bell. Because this kid’s computer, a Packard Bell, sucked. Big time. We couldn’t play any games on this computer. It was slow and it was dull. Poor kid. Apparently Packard Bell has a whole other appreciation of its brand.

Oh and the logo....... its awful

I never knew the dude from Equalizer was..

The dude who killed Patrick's girlfriend in Eastenders small worlds eh.

Gucci by Chris Cunningham

Chris Cunningham is back with a new ad for Gucci. Although the idea that the master of dark and disturbing music videos has teamed up with a fashion brand may be a surprising one, the collaboration is most successful, with Cunningham managing to make the first interesting perfume ad we’ve seen in some time. The spot also features a reworking of Donna Summer’s I Feel Love, which was produced and arranged by the director.

Still not decided if i like this tune or not yet

Best quote on the video I have seen goes to some dude on Grime Forum
“this video takes man for some sort of cbbc presenter”

Thing is though some of Dizzee's best tunes have been from samples or big boy collaborations, like that tune he did with Basment Jaxx which is in my top 10 tunes of all time, im sure this will grow on me.

Louis Vuitton QR Codes by Takashi Murakami

Just as i had posted about discovering the Nokia Barcodes this appeared on HypeBeast see! I have the finger on the pulse peops.

Referred to as the barcode of the future, a QR Code (Quick Response Code) is a matrix code which allows its contents to be decoded at high speed. Tokyo-based design agency SET has developed a new remake of the QR Code with artwork provided by Takashi Murakami. Although it serves as a faster means for ringing up/tracking merchandise, this new method is just another way to incorporate marketing into something that is somewhat meaningless to the average consumer albeit interesting to say the least.

Major love from YouTube

Got major love from the guys at YouTube for the whole concept and design from the Barclaycard competition created at dare, we made it onto their Daily post which in my eyes is a big achievement especially with the amount stuff that goes on at YouTube. Really happy to have been part of the process from start to finish.

SneakersBR x Nike Air Max 1 “Lanceiro” Quickstrike

SneakersBR gives us a closer look into their collaboration with Nike on the timeless Air Max 1 silhouette. The kicks celebrate the Brazilian sneaker website’s 2nd Anniversary since it was transformed into a full fledged website by founder Ricardo Nunes. Entitled the Lanceiro, this limited edition AM1 celebrates the culture of Pernambuco (the home state of SneakersBR) and the Manguebeat musical movement. Features include a blue leather upper symbolizing the flag of Pernambuco, a yellow air capsule symbolizing the sun, and speckled midsole which is a reminder of the mud and mangroves of the swamps, vital icons of the state’s culture that “baptized” the Manguebeat movement. Capping off the design is a heel tab featuring the emblematic phrase of Chico Science “Um Passo à Frente e Você Já Não Está Mais No Mesmo Lugar” (One step ahead and you’re no longer in the same place). Launching as a quickstrike release, the kicks look to drop worldwide at select top tier Nike accounts soon. An even more distinctive edition, in a wooden package, will be distributed amongst influencers from around the globe in June 2009, the same time as a “Brazil Only” release.

Nokia barcode stuff

Pretty cool stuff but dunno if it will catch on in a big way but I like the fact you can stick this image on websites or on the street, on flyers or practically anywhere, but it, good for embeding links that you can save and view straight from your phone.

Point and shoot your camera phone at a mobile code to connect directly to a website, view a message or get a phone number ready for dialing.

All you need is a code reader for your camera phone and you are in on the fun. Check whether your Nokia device already has a preinstalled code reader or find out how to get one.

Nokia photo browser

Recently, Nokia launched a new photo browsing application, simply called Nokia Photo Browser, for its touchscreen smartphones, like the 5800 XpressMusic and the upcoming N97. However, yesterday, they updated the application for non-touchscreen smartphones, such as my favorite the E71!

The Nokia Photo Browser makes it much easier and faster to browse through your photos by presenting them in a flowing grid layout. You can use the d-pad to manuever through the grind, and then click to zoom in on a specific image. The left softkey brings up the options menu, including the face tracking feature. Face tracking is useful if you have a photo with several faces, you can scroll through the faces individually, with the software automatically zooming in on each face. The right softkey exits the application.

Blatantly ripped the CoolIris browser application though
