Our Wonderful Nature
This film was created as a part of the animation study at the Academy for Film and Television "Konrad Wolf" in Potsdam. It is an attempt to create an animated animal documentry, that explores the mating habbits of the water shrew. The use of modern 3d tools enabled us to show the "true" events that take place in a 3 second battle between two males in a way that was never seen before...

A kiss is not a contract
But it's very nice
Mmmmm, very nice
Just because you've been exploring my mouth
Doesn't mean you get to take an expedition further south

Hollywood Douchebags
Spike Feresten's talkshow "Talkshow" is on just after Mad TV and is really quite funny... He has a little bit on from time to time called 'Hollywood Douchebags' where he takes everyday people off the streets of Hollywood and picks on them just enough without going over... See if any of you know who the first person Spike interviews is... :)

One Froggy Evening
Remember ol' Michigan J. Frog??? Well he is the star of the 1955 classic cartoon "One Froggy Evening" and I thought it was time for it to make a come back!
Froggy Facts?
"One Froggy Evening" is an approximately seven-minute long Technicolor animated short film written by Michael Maltese and directed by Chuck Jones. The short was released on December 31, 1955 as part of Warner Brothers' Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. This cartoon also celebrates New Year's 1956 since it was made on December 31.
Some critics and observers regard this cartoon short as the finest ever made. Steven Spielberg, in the PBS Chuck Jones biography Extremes & Inbetweens: A Life In Animation, called One Froggy Evening "the Citizen Kane of animated film". In 1994 it was voted #5 of the 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time by members of the animation field. The film is at IMDb currently ranked as the second best short movie ever. In 2003 the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
Froggy Facts?
Some believe that the story of this frog was at least partly inspired by a real critter. In Eastland, Texas they tell the story of one horned toad named Old Rip. He was placed in the cornerstone of the courthouse there in 1897. In 1928 the courthouse was demolished and the story is that they pulled Old Rip out and he was still alive. He did not get up and dance however. Eleven months later Old Rip finally croaked and the citizens made him a fancy velvet-lined casket and put him on permanent display - where you can still see him today.

Wobbly Charley
Charley is an amazing cat with cerebellar hypoplasia. It's a condition that affects motor skills but not the life expectancy and as you will see he lives a pretty normal life.
I just had to put this video up the second I saw it... The cute-o-meter is off the charts plus it's a great awarness video for people out there that might have pets with the same 'problem'.

Cheese Rolling 2007
Cheese Rolling 2007. A collection of head-over-heels video clips from the 2007 Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake from www.SoGlos.com. Every year daring competitors throw themselves down an almost vertical hill in Gloucester, UK, chasing an 8lb Double Gloucester Cheese. It can never really be caught as it reaches breakneck speeds but the first person to cross the line at the bottom of the hill wins the cheese. Thousands of spectators turn out for the event each year and, unsurprisingly, there are usually a good few injuries. Thankfully St John's Ambulances are on hand to whisk the casualties away to the local hospital. Click here for the full story. :)

Giovanni Sollima - Sogno ad Occhi Aperti (Daydream)
Lasse Gjertsen writes:
Part 1
Part 2
So this is the project I've been working on for the last 5 months, and heres how part 1 of it is made:
On the six arms parts, which by the way took most of the time to make, I filmed Sollima playing the different layers of cello after each other. I then edited the video frame by frame in Photoshop (remember, it's 25 frames per second of video), cutting his arms out from the other layers and pasting it on top, matching the movement of the cello. This was done ca 4000 times, by myself.
The clouds were actually filmed in my backyard, sped up 1250 times. The birds we're filmed in my town, Larvik, Norway on clear blue sky, so that I could use blue screen keying to put them on top of the clouds. It's hard to notice, but the birds are moving in half speed slow motion. I also had to stabilize the motion of the birds, since I filmed it with handhelt camcorder. The sequence was cut together using After Effects and Premiere.
The forest, river sequence was photographed in a forest in Arona, Italy. I took a picture ca. every five meters, and morphed the images together using WinMorph, matching the pace of the music.
The zooming sequence is very hard to explain. Basically, the first 8 seconds after it starts zooming and when you see Mr Sollima's face is real photos. The rest inbetween are "painted" in Photoshop by me.
The rest of this part is merely editing in Premiere and After Effects. Allright!
Part 1
We went out into this very weird forest outside Milan, Italy, 5 in the morning to catch the morning fog. Then we just started filming, nothing planned except which song to play :P SO most of this is merely experimenting with angles and editing. People have asked me how I made the background. "Uhm, it's a real forest..?" Spooky atmosphere..
The part were the "camera" follows the bow is made with After Effects.
The last part was filmed at a concert in Italy.
Part 2

"Reality" TV Editing
My personal input on the matter has changed very drastically since the day I met a nice gentleman that is a TV and film editor. He worked for a few years as an editor on a couple of America's very popular reality shows and had many stories about how he and his crew changed the outcome of a real situation just for the extra ratings and interest of the scene... Even though reality television is fun to watch, we have to just take it with a grain of salt for it's really not real...but I'm sure you already knew that... :p

Heavy Metal Baghdad
In 2003, just after the US toppled the regime of Saddam Hussein, Vice magazine published an article on the only heavy metal band in Iraq, Acrassicauda. The Baghdad-based band was formed in the last few years of Saddam's rule and aside from the typical problems every band has, they also had to deal with the stigma of playing dark western music in an Islamic state under Baath party rule, while coming out of a decade of war, sanctions, and poverty. We found their story inspiring. When we interviewed the band they were excited to be living in a newly freed Iraq, and their future seemed limitless. They even talked of recording an album. Things took a turn for the worse, however. After a few months respite, the situation in free Iraq deteriorated quickly and by the end of the year, after a few key insurgent attacks?the bombing at the UN building, the massive strike at the grand Shi'a mosque in Najaf?Iraq started to unravel. We stayed in touch with the band through this time and in the fall of 2006, with the insurgency reaching a fevered pitch, VICE Co-Founder Suroosh Alvi and VBS Producer Eddy Moretti decided to visit them.
The following 5 short videos are a very interesting and internal look at the state of Baghdad and what people have to go through on a daily basis...

PocketMod
The PocketMod is a new way to keep yourself organized. Lets face it, PDAs are too expensive and cumbersome, and organizers are bulky and hard to carry around. Nothing beats a folded up piece of paper. That is until now. With the PocketMod, you can carry around the days notes, keep them organized in any way you wish, then easily transfer the notes to your PDA, spreadsheet, or planner.
The PocketMod is a small book with guides on each page. These guides or templates, combined with a unique folding style, enable a normal piece of paper to become the ultimate note card. It is hard to describe just how incredibly useful the PocketMod is. It's best that you just dive in and create one
Make yourself a pocket organizer. This is actually quite a clever idea if you're into getting things done. It's been around for a while, apparently, but has been getting a lot of attention lately. Click here!
