Reactable vs. the Poly.Touch

BUNKRE — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 18:59:12 +0000

I followed a few links from the comments on a post about the Poly.Touch found on NotCot today, and wound up looking at this instead: the Reactable. Watch it in action:

Apparently it’s not exactly new (posted October 25, 2006!), but it’s new to me!

Music Animation Machine

BUNKRE — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 18:37:25 +0000

Watching this visualization of a piano piece has me just a mesmerized as watching the internal workings of an old music box. It’s a demonstration of a piece of software called Music Animation Machine. It’s the same concept, but with a longer piece and the addition of color:

Pretty self explanatory, but very neat stuff.

Found it here on Neatorama, where else?

“Fully Flared” Intro Squence (Lakai Skate movie)

BUNKRE — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:02:40 +0000

Apparently this is the intro sequence to a Lakai Footwear skate movie titled Fully Flared. Very well done. Be sure to stick around long enough to catch the finale:

EDIT: Lakai had the video taken down. I guess they hate free publicity? DailyMotion still has it up though.

This just in: Saw on some other posts that the explosion at the end is quite real:

“the most dangerous part of the introduction was Mike Mo Capaldi’s switch flip, which was followed by a staircase being blown up with napalm”

Also it was directed by Spike Jones, and as you’ve probably figured out by now, the music is by M83.

“Time Piece”, a Jim Henson short (1965)

BUNKRE — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 15:32:39 +0000

Here’s a fun little nine minute short film from Jim Henson. From the IMDB:

Dislocation in time, time signatures, time as a philosophical concept, and slavery to time are some of the themes touched upon in this nine-minute, experimental film, which was written, directed, and produced by Jim Henson-and starred Jim Henson! Screened for the first time at the Museum of Modern Art in May of 1965, Time Piece enjoyed an eighteen-month run at one Manhattan movie theater and was nominated for an Academy Award for outstanding short subject.

Enjoy.

A quick bit of googling found a clever print ad too.

Here’s a cool little piece using orange safety tape and a chain link fence from Something Planned (direct link – who still uses frames?!) complete with time-lapse video of its creation. Via NOTCOT.
