And on that way, he met a lot of people that helped him. As i remember he made arrangements to also meet people and record the dance with them over forums etc. It was a really nice project. I have seen it before just not in HD which makes a big difference!

There is a lot of heart in this video from all around the world. And it kinda makes you think about the positive things and feelings. It makes you happy. that’s it, end of story

I know you’ll really enjoy viewing his video and it may even bring couple of good smiles to your face.

I’ve closed msn and all those chat things that could bother me and put up the Kanye West album Graduation. The song Flashing lights helped me get ideas and creativity so it’s in the video to hear. I fasten the video about 10x so you wouldn’t be looking at it for an hour but just as long as the music plays.

Although i noticed i could have left the last frame up for couple of seconds. So below are also the images of the final product and a 100% zoom to view the details.

Hope you like it.

Here is the video:

As you see it is easier and a lot faster to create models this way, but the problem is, that you need drawing skills for this and if you don’t have them, your models would become a bit odd. Now the people who know how to draw should have it easy to create models. But will the others that don’t be left with no work? Illustrators draw characters on paper, 3D modelers make the models, so 2 people do this things and if we teach one of them the other skill or technique, one of them may get fired and the other one would do work for 2 but would get payed for only 1 person. That’s the problem with technology. But overall it is a amazing software.

Today Sony made a new ad for promotion of the Bravia LCD’s with their known slogan “Colors like no other”. This time they used domino to make it look really good. I didn’t check out if this was made with real domino parts but i think it’s Coputer Generated (CG).

Anyway again, they have made a impressive ad that gets a lot of buzz over the internet. I love all these colors and how each domino block has it’s own color.

I know you’ll say that skateboarding doesn’t have anything to do with design, oh but it does. First check out his video.

Pretty neat ha? There are some scenes that would make you stop the video, but if you didn’t do it we can continue now. Each time i see something like this, i try to enjoy it a lot, then i watch it again and try to find things that i can learn. Now from Gou Miyagi as a person, you can learn a lot.

How many times did he fall down? How many of them looked really painful? Yeah the answer is a lot, but at the end, he finished the trick he had imagined. That’s really important for a designer too, each time you get knocked down, you need to learn how to get up and do it again. I know this isn’t written in the video, but it’s there!

He used a variety of elements to use when skateboarding, the pipes to grind, the board itself and him on it. He used those things in a really creative and unique way. He thought outside the box, he went for something others didn’t do or think of and won. And example would be grinding the chain. He fell really hard there, got up, did it again and again until he made it perfect. So the next thing i learned was also to do something other wouldn’t, don’t copy but start with a idea even if it’s “stupid” at the beginning.

The third thing would be fun! Easy thing as being helped from a friend to grind that long rail was a great thing. Try to work in groups, more people that love to work something usually make great things and it’s more fun!

Those are just some things i’ve learned from watching this video. Try to find more and tell me, what else did you see/find?

Here’s a video, that shows, how can be bend time and see how we would look like in couple of years from now. Isn’t Phogoshop great?

The tilt shifting lens let’s you create blurry images that are tricking our eye as an optical illusion ignoring the blurry part of the image.

The “fake” tilt shifting photography is a method of using a photograph and Photoshop to manipulate the image so you get the same effect. It works well and is for all of those people who don’t have money for buying a tilt shift lens, but would like to try out the technique.

I will me making and posting a Tilt Shifting tutorial with Photoshop tomorrow so make sure you come back or subscribe to my rss .

Here is a sample of a tilt Shift technique in time-lapse:

The one thing i really like about them is that they are giving away $2 from each T-shirt they sold to charity.Why would someone do something like this? Because it’s a right thing to do. It’s also a nice thing for the brand name since it brings lots of good points to them. The site is still in beta and it needs some help from you too.

Even if you don’t do illustrations, you should check out their site, because they have a really good behind the scenes video on how they did some of the photos used for promotion of the site. This is a really good way to attract people for them and to learn something new for you. A win/win situation.

Also join them on myspace or facebook to show some support!
