Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side)

24 Oct

Beautiful, irreverent stop-motion animation – a collaboration between director Spike Jonze and French ‘hand-made’ arbiter of cool Olympia Le Tan.

It’s a book shop love story in which characters from book covers (hand made and embroidered by Le Tan) come to life.  Leonard Cohen makes the credit roll too as a contributing animator.

Happy Steve Jobs Day Everyone!

17 Oct

California’s Governor Jerry Brown has declared October 16, ‘Steve Jobs Day’ in recognition of Jobs’ contribution and influence…Brown announced this of course via a ‘tweet’ to his 1million + followers…

I’m not entirely sure how I feel about politicians using Twitter at all, (it often feels quite cynical and insidious to me), let alone naming days after undoubtedly brilliant and phenomenally successful businessmen, but businessmen nonetheless…call me a killjoy..

 

Happy Steve Jobs Day!

 



Big to Small Screen Cross

16 Oct

In a rare film-to-TV cross-platform endeavour, HBO has struck a deal to develop a drama series series based on the brilliant feature film The Kids Are All Right, that tells the story of the teenaged children of lesbian parents who want to meet their sperm donor father and the complications that ensue.  The pilot will be written and executive produced by Lisa Cholondenko, who co-wrote and directed the original film, and will pick up where the movie left off with the same five characters — lesbian couple Jules and Nic (played by Julianne Moore and Annette Bening in the movie), their kids Joni and Laser (Mia Wasikowska and Josh Hutcherson in the film), and the children’s biological dad Paul (originally played by Mark Ruffalo).

What Are You Waiting For?

17 Aug

What Are You Waiting For?

What Are You Waiting For? is a concept for an interactive video opinion ‘stock exchange ‘ designed to be accessed in places people wait, both online and in the real world: Airports, planes, Doctors’ surgeries, trams, train stations and public meeting places as well as in social media spaces:  Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

What Are You Waiting For? lets users participate in an entertaining and dynamic exchange of opinions by curating, filtering, watching, rating, agreeing, disagreeing and commenting on entertaining and topical bite-sized video opinions (VOPs) from a diverse range of high profile and everyday ‘characters’ – as well as – contributing their own video opinions.

Video Opinion Content Sample

From bricklayers to foreign students, football players to comedians, bankers and high-school students, from sous chefs and ticket inspectors, stay at home mums, pensioners and indigenous soccer players to administrators, lesbians, socialites and recent immigrants – What Are You Waiting For? will capture and curate a ‘living library’ of video opinions on a diverse range of topics from The Carbon Tax to PDAS (Public Displays of Affection ), from pokie playing to politics, from road rage to God. ..and,  reward users for their interaction.

Users earn status and rewards as they ‘build their portfolios’ by watching, rating, agreeing, disagreeing (or fence-sitting), commenting on video opinions, predicting public opinion, voting in opinion polls and by posting their own opinions and insights – with those VOPs that are highest rated, most-popular or most-controversial, earning the user more stock and status..

What Are You Waiting For? is in development.
