Liking this visual exploration of “Procrastination” by Johnny Kelly. His graduate piece from the Royal College of Art, is as he says, “an investigative and exploratory hands-on gloves-off study into the practice of putting things ‘off”.”

I’ve been attempting to document some of the boy and my adventures in cooking. We’ve been doing a lot of it this winter, and will have some posts to share soon.

In the meantime, I thought I’d post this clever stop motion video called Adobe Photoshop Cook which begs to ask—how awesome would it be if there was a program to bake yummy cookies?

Fascinating, dramatic, surprising. Reminds me of another highly stylized animation I spied on Vimeo a few months back - equally as dark in subject matter but set in a more detailed world. I’m such a sucker for slow-motion! Definitely check out the making-of featurette as well…

The ads coming from Porsche lately have been nothing short of fantastic. I’ve watched the Panamera intro spot about a zillion times, squinting to make out each and every model and livery. Here’s another video from their YouTube channel that continues to push their racing heritage. Not sure if this is in response to some other manufacturer’s claims or a retaliation of sorts, but the message is clear - racing, not posing. Strongly liked.

In Linas Philips’ new film “Bass Ackwards”, a man, recently kicked off of his friend’s couch and dumped by his lover, finds a chopped up 1976 VW van on a farm and decides to head east. Official selection at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, the movie hits theaters February 1st. However, bypassing theatrical and other traditional distribution avenues, the film was made available for purchase nationwide even before it’s Sundance premiere on January 23rd. It can now be viewed in it’s entirety through YouTube Rentals.

I always liked the Post Secret community mail art project. The uncensored homemade postcards and brutal honesty that came with the anonymity seemed raw, beautiful and genuine.

The video above is beautifully shot, and though their are faces to the secrets, the spirit of Post Secret seems to remain intact.
