Rippled from Oh Yeah Wow on Vimeo.
My friend Dan McGuire tipped me to this great video that ThisIsColossal.com sourced. Beyond being truly beautiful and incredibly well executed, the animators have a name (“Oh Yeah Wow”)I am jealous of — and that doesn’t happen too often.
I love that I can be inspired every day and still know that I am not seeing even close to all there is. There’s so much great work out there. May it never end. Oh yeah wow.
How great is it to be lost into a short, transported, and then to recognize — know again — what you have known for so long: that movies are magic.

Okay I really like The National, and I really like stop motion, and beautiful lighting — and yes there is a part of me that is a sucker for both nostalgia, innocence lost, and cute furry animals, so…

It was at the only projected WorkInProgress screening we had for Martha Marcy May Marlene. The film was submitted to Sundance on a 6 week cut and Sean Durkin had to lock at 8 weeks to get in done in time for the festival. There was no money but Technicolor helped us out with a weekday screening. The only people generally who could come were screenwriters as virtually everyone else we knew were working.
Screenwriters can be a bit focused on structure, some on discipline. The point was raised that this song was not like any other moment in the film. People started to suggest it be cut. My wife –one of the few women in the room — stood up and said it was the crucial moment when Marcy May feels loved. She was right. It needed to be there. Sean knew it too.
Even if it had been cut, I think it would have made my list of favorite MUSIC moments of 2011
Per the YouTube description: “Tammi Terrells’ happy 1966 original recording of ‘Two can have a party’. Overdubbed in 1967 with Marvin Gayes’ voice to create a duet. Sadly, Tammi died in 1970 being only 24 years of age.

Okay, so yes, this is a commercial for Android, but it pretty darn amazing. I saw another projection mapping project about a year ago in NYC as part of the Vimeo Awards at the IAC center, and was blown away by that too.
Imagine a “festival” where a city had a multiple of these set up, all with a bit of an interlocking story to them. If I was opening a building, a museum show, or having some sort of city-wide event, I would want to have something like this as part of it.
