I love Vimeo. Just needed to get that out. Anywho, I came across this beautiful stop motion piece that I needed to share. Olympus put this together as promotion for their camera, the PEN. They shot 60,000 stills, then developed the 9,600 pics you see, then reshot another 1,800 pictures. The crazy thing is that there was no post production. Whaaaa! Yea its pretty cool… also you can download the music free here. Enjoy.

Last night I was watching a few shows on hulu and this commercial ran before one of the shows and I thought it was brilliant. Obviously I don’t endorse the product, but the creativity of the spot is worth sharing.

She gets these mad skillz from me. What can I say. She had an opportunity with both an audience and Mark’s beautiful “peenano,” how could she not jump all over that. She rocked an original or two and she even threw a bit of Yancy’s Praise Party in there. But by the end of her performance, I think she may have let it all go to her head.

Check it out… next Wednesday, we will be recording our first live album for both a CD & DVD release of our youth worship band, The Brighter. These guys are incredible, I can’t wait for you worship pastors/leaders to get your hands on some of their songs. Trust me, its really great stuff!

We’ve been prepping this concert for a couple of weeks now getting everything ready and of course we aren’t there yet, but we are close. Next week I’ll post some stills of the show as well as rough cuts throughout the post process. If you’re local or even semi-local you need to be here, next Wednesday at 7p! Also, you can follow The Brighter on Twitter.

Here’s the spot Will put together for the concert:

This has to be about the smoothest animated typography ever. Mostly done in AE by Sebastian Lange. Check it, then pick your jaw up off the floor.

As any other creative, I’m always looking for inspiration. And you know as well as I do, sometimes it comes in the strangest forms. But one thing is for sure, we are always looking for it, something that will inspire us to dream and create. Tonight I came across a goody that I wanted to pass along. It’s a site called Creattica (crazy awesome title), it’s an amazing gallery of “great design and inspirational imagery.” They also have a Creattica Daily that features tons of news and links for creatives and designers just waiting to inspire. Check it, hopefully you’ll be inspired as well.

A few of my other faves:

thanks for that Mr. Lewis

“There is one vice of which no man in the world is free: which everyone in the world loathes when he sees it in someone else; and of which hardly any people; except Christians, ever imagine they are guilty themselves. I have heard people admit they are bad-tempered, or that they cannot keep their heads about girls or drink, or even that they are cowards. I do not think I have heard anyone who was not a Christian accuse himself of this vice. And at the same time I have seldom met anyone, who was not a Christian, who showed the slightest mercy to it in others. There is no fault which we are more unconcious of in ourselves. And the more we have it in ourselves, the more we dislike it in others. The vice I am talking about is pride or self conceit and the virtue opposite to it, in Christian morals is Humility.  According to Christian Teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkedness, and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison; it was through Pride that the devil became the devil; Pride leads to every other vice it is the complete anti-God state of mind. If you want to find out how proud you are the easiest way is to ask yourself, “How much do I dislike it when other people snub me, or refuse to take notice of me, or shove their oar in, or patronise me, or show-off? The point is that each person’s pride is in competition with every one else’s pride.”     - C.S. Lewis
