Canon 5D Mark II

To say this camera is causing a stir at the moment would be an understatement.
Here's a fantastic little test that my good friend Simon Willows shot the other night on his way home from work.
It's like having a 35mm film camera in your backpack, and at a very reasonable high street price.
Point and shoot has entered new territory. Budget film making is being revolutionized.

I'm shooting with it for the first time today! Wish me luck!

Wiggles

A totally bizarre website of wigs for dogs.
Charming and crazy in equal proportions.

This image below is of a wig called 'Joe the Bartender', and is one of my favourites.

Behind the Scenes of Stop Frame Animation

This little timelapse movie's so great!
I always find it fascinating to get an insight into the production process of any kind of movie, but animation does happen to be the most magical of all.
Watch out for the Rupert The Bear characters - they will blow your mind!

Print Liberation

I like to have some little motivational slogans around me from time to time.
Print Liberation do them in the bucket load, and make them pretty god-damn beautiful at the same time.

Scrabble-ishious

I love Scrabble, and I friggin' adore these commercials for the game.
If there's one industry that may actually be gaining from the recession I guess boardgames may be one of them.
Throw away your TV and do something less boring instead!

Bat For Lashes

There's nothing new here about Bat For Lashes being awesome. The new album seems to be rocking everybody's ears at the moment (and rightly so).
Just this footage of the young lady performing Glass is enough to take your breath away.

I Think I've gone Cross-Eyed

Now I don't often actively search things out to mess my brain up, but this is possibly the best thing I've seen all year. These don't tend to work on me that well, but this one really really does!
Give it time, and follow the instructions precisely, and prepare to have your eyes warped.
