Shit Post Sunday - True Blood Titles, The Making Of
#TrueBlood #TitleSequence #DigitalKitchen #TV
This video is a couple of years old now, but I've just seen it for the first time & I have to say, I'm very, very impressed.
This video documents the making of the True Blood opening title sequence. I had always thought that it was an incredible montage of stock footage, but that isn't the case.

Horde Mode Gets Betterer
@therealcliffyb @epicgames #gears3 #dlc
If you haven't devoted the rest of your online gaming year to Battlefield 3 and soon to be Modern Warfare 3 then you should be playing Gears of War 3. Horde mode is stupendously good and it's just about to become a little more rad with an upcoming DLC release. Watch below at one of the new maps called Azura. See the new Decoy upgrade (yes your own AI soldier) command centre upgrade (call in backup such as 'Hammer Strikes') and a few different characters to play.

Stolen!
@DuckSauceNYC @atrak @mustardpimp #stolenideas
So Duck Sauce stole the idea for their new video for "The Big Bad Wolf" which was posted earlier, but just for your convenience here's the link.
Pretty sweet video right? And you would think its an original idea, something fresh and new. Well your sort of right, Heres a video done by Mustard Pimp 3 months ago.
Mustard Pimp "ZHM" (Official Video) from Dim Mak on Vimeo.
And while i've got to be honest and say i think the Duck Sauce video was "Better" in terms of technical prowess, lighting and film quality. It detracts from its awesomeness that a very similar idea was released just 3 months before hand and didn't attract the notice it deserved.
Shame on you Duck Sauce.

You should probably BUY AND LISTEN to these tracks. Side effects may be a tightening of the pants.
ZZT - Partys over Los Angeles
Every ZZT single has been brilliant in it's own way. This one is perhaps the best single they have released.
Buy here
Bok Bok & Tom Trago - Pom Clash
One half of TWR72 and Night Slugs god Bok Bok created the EP 'Night Voyage Tool Kit' (silly name [i mean that in a good way]) containing this track 'Pom Clash'. It's from the new Sound Pellegrino Crossover series and I think this track best represents the meeting of the two producers different sounds.
Surkin - Harry (ft. Bobmo)
This is from Surkin's new LP 'USA'. It's a Daft Punk sounding funk fest.
Elan - Next 2 Last
Elan is the radness and has created a unique sound that's both dark and playful at the same time. This is from his new EP 'Fuzzy Numbers' (the last in a trilogy of EPs) and delivers the goods.
Noob - Spell (Maelstrom Remix)
The original mix of Noob's spell is a great beat. Maelstrom just adds so much more to to love. I don't know who Maelstrom is (he's french) but I'll be jumping on anything he has his name on in future.
Birdy Nam Nam - Big City Nights
My favourite track from Birdy Nam Nam's fresh sounding LP 'Defiant Order'. That's saying a lot considering the calibre of all the other tracks on there.
Modeselektor - Berlin
Modeselektor get everything right on this track. That thick sound you can feel in your bowels mixed with some great sounding vocals and an uplifting chorus. Get Monkeytown. Your ears will thank you.
Radiohead - Lotus Flower(SBTRKT remix)
My favourite remix from TKOL 1234567. SBTRKT continues to impress with his distinct sound smothered over Thom's voice.
Blawan - Shader
Blawan is the most excited new producer of recent times. Great drums and unique sounding vocals have created a sound so very distinctive to the rising UK beat maker.
Mr. Oizo - Douche Beat
It's Mr. Oizo. He is king. That is all. Press play.
Pre Order Stade 2 here
FUCK YES!
@RockstarGames #GTAV
Go to the Rockstar site and you'll find this (see below). Yes there's another Grand theft Auto coming out and the trailer for it will be with us in just a few days. Start the speculation.......NOW!
So the symbol V with the FIVE across it looks like something from an American note. Does the V not only stand for the 5th game in the series but for the name of the city the game will be situated in? My guess is it's set in Vegas. GTA in Las Vegas could work very well.
UPDATE - Hearing from multiple sources that it will be set in Los Angeles and there will be more than one playable characters.

Steve, Steve, Steve!
#SteveJobs
I guess I'm actually starting to become fascinated with the life of Steve Jobs. I always used to think he was just one of those guys, who started companies and hired the right people. I use to think he was just a face. So it's been really interesting finding out some of the challenges he faced in his life, and just how important he was to the companies he created.
Today is the day where A LOT of info has come out about Steve, 656 pages about him (or if you aren't into reading, 25 hours of audio), exclusively in his official biography written by Walter Isaacson.
You can get it instantly on iBooks, Kindle or by purchasing the audiobook from iTunes.
For a brief preview, 60 minutes have made their Steve Jobs episode, which mainly interviews Walter Isaacson, available on youtube. Unfortunately they disabled embedding, so here are the links.
Part 1
Part 2
Apple have also published their 19th of October Memorial online. It's around 90 minutes long, but it's quite sad. Musical performances from Coldplay and Norah Jones.

So it appears Sony Pictures have acquired the rights to do a Bio-pic based on the Steve Jobs Biography. Since Sony Pictures brought us the big screen adaptation of "The Accidental Billionaires" and titled it "The Social Network", I can imagine the film will be quite amazing.
Until the bio pic is released, you can see a couple of other small screen releases that tell the tale of Jobs.
Pirates of Silicon Valley
This Tele-movie was released in 1999 so it only tells the story up until NeXT Computer was acquired by Apple and Steve returned to the company.
The Pixar Story
This is a great doco for anyone who also wants to know the history behind Pixar. This official documentary also goes quite deep into Steve's involvement in the company. It was released in 2007.
Film is Dead, iPhone is in.
@PhilipBloom #FilmIsDead #iPhone #Canon #Nikon
With the sad confirmation, few weeks ago, that the three major motion picture film camera manufacturers, Panavision, Arri & Aaton, have ceased production of film cameras and will now turn their attention to going head to head to snuff out the DSLR market from major motion pictures and TV ads, and try to prove that the new RED EPIC is a dog of a camera that is a far cry from it's film ancestors.
But it's no surprise that film cameras have stopped rolling off the line when a century worth of cameras out there in the world are just gathering dust on rental house shelves.
Mainly because of RED ONE, and then followed up by the DSLR revolution & awesome/weird shit like this for your iPhone.
A DSLR Canon lens EF mount for your iPhone
or you can get the shitty Nikon one and be a Nikon loser.
Use your expensive lenses that will last you a lifetime with the camera you toss away and upgrade every 12 months.
Ever since the iPhone camera was invented, it's aspired to be what it simply never quite could be: a DSLR. Sure, apps have helped your camera phone inch forward with simulated focusing and faux filters.
Faux no more. The iPhone SLR Mount gives you the real thing. It'll set your phone photos apart from everyone else's on Instagram in an unprecedented way!
This case-adapter combo lets you mount your Canon EOS or Nikon SLR lenses to your iPhone 4 giving your phone powerful depth of field and manual focus.
Buy the The iPhone 4 SLR Mount at the Photojojo Store!

This has been talked about for almost a year now and it's good to see it finally see the light of day

iCloud: Apple ID's will be merging
If you are like me, then this post applies to you.
With the emergence of iCloud earlier this month, it became very apparent that a lot of people, myself included, have two Apple ID's. One which was used since the dawn of time with iTunes (Gmail, Hotmail etc) and Mobile Me would later become used for email, calendar etc.
For those who aren't having this problem, the reason that this became an issue was due to iCloud only being able to be linked to one Apple ID. This was never a problem before, I used my non-MobileMe account for purchases, and my MobileMe account for email, ical etc.
Some people have purchases spread over the two accounts, which must be even more frustrating... But it appears, it won't be frustrating for long.
SO......
Here is Apple's response.
Henrique [Xavier] pointed out that with the recent launch of iCloud and iOS 5 upgrade software on 12 October, everyone has at least 2 Apple ID's, one before Apple's "MobileMe" was launched, and one after. "Now, people have a library that has been split in half and we can't take advantage of the new features of iOS 5" he stated.
Tim Cook's response was swift, and telephoning Henrique in Luxembourg direct from Apple HQ in Cupertino explained, "Thank you very much for your email, and I just want you to know we are aware of this issue and are working on it".

Christopher Walken is my favourite ballroom dancer, and I don't just say that because I don't actually know any ballroom dancers.
I would watch this if it were a real TV show.
I also hope they make Walken in a Winter Wonderland into a TV show too.

Venezuelan Traffic Mimes.
#Venezuelanmimes #mime
The city of Caracas in Venezuela has fucked up traffic.
Well, now the city of Caracas is fighting back, with the silent treatment. They are posting aroung 120 mimes on the corners of Caracas busiest intersections, using them to help the flow of traffic and make sure everyone obeys the road rules, or at least doesn't cause any stupid accidents.

Cameras you should know about.
#ballcamera #lytro #5D #iphone4s
So here are a couple of cool new cameras at some point in their production stage whether its completed and released or just a concept design.
Arguably the most amazing camera ever made... ever. The Lytro. it uses some fancy technology involving lenses and shit. They apparently capture the entire light spectrum, all light travelling in all directions that the lens can see. The most impressive part however is that you don't have to choose a point of focus, when you are later editing the photos, you can choose anywhere on the photo to be your point of focus. The only down side of all this seems to be that they sacrifice resolution for focus. For a better explanation of the awesomeness of this little hand held camera go here. Unfortunately no video for this one.
secondly are two cameras that are already available, the new Canon 5D vs an iPhone 4S.
iPhone 4S / Canon 5d MKII Side by Side Comparison from Robino Films on Vimeo.
It's pretty spectacular what you can do with a mobile phones camera now days, unfortunately you can't use lenses.
And finally the throwable panoramic ball camera. This is a stills camera, i don't imagine it would be very useful for video. I can't wait for it to have a commercial release, so every time i go to a tourist destination everyone is staring up at the sky trying to catch their ball camera instead of at whatever it was they actually came to see.

Update - i found some of the photos taken with the Lytro, click on the image once to choose where you want the focus to be, twice to zoom.

Midnight Sun, Iceland.
#midnightsun #Iceland #timelapse
An amazing timelapse of the Midnight sun in Iceland. Worth spending 5 minutes watching this, particularly if you are never going to see it for real, its worth seeing some of the amazing things our planet has to offer. I'd suggest watching this in HD and fullscreen, anything less doesn't do it justice.

Remembering Steve
#stevejobs
Apple have updated their Steve Jobs tribute site with a constantly updating page of tributes around the world. This comes around the same time that the Apple campus held a memorial service for the Apple Co-founder.
ON A MORE INTERESTING NOTE
It has been revealed from the CEO of Softbank, Japan's exclusive carrier for the iPhone 4 and 4S, that Steve Job's had been working on new Apple products up until the day before he died. Here is the quote.
"I visited Apple for the announcement of the iPhone 4S [at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, California]. When I was having a meeting with Tim Cook, he said, 'Oh Masa, sorry I have to quit our meeting.' I said, 'Where are you going?' He said, 'My boss is calling me.' That was the day of the announcement of the iPhone 4S. He said that Steve is calling me because he wants to talk about their next product. And the next day, he died." - Masayoshi Son
I'm sure many many more interesting things will be revealed very soon, as the official Steve Jobs autobiography will hit shelves in 4 days.

Tribe meet white man for the first time.
#blackmeetswhite #JeanPierreDutilleux
Some of the most interesting and probably the only time you will ever see this kind of footage, until we are visited by aliens, of a tribe of black people in PNG seeing their first white man.

Hover boards are so close i can taste them.
#hoverboards #quantumlevitation #BTTF #ASTC
So it looks like the technology required for hover boards has been invented. Now it just needs to be implemented. I need to see this happen within my lifetime, preferably by the date specified in Back to the Future, or else my whole world will have been a lie.

Life's Too Short: Another success or the first shitbomb?
@RickyGervais @WarwickaDavis #Lifestooshort
There may come a day, when a TV show that Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant created, is a failure. Clearly I'm an optimist, as I have every faith in the comedy duo. There is, though, a slight pain in my stomach, that little inkling, a worrisome feeling, that maybe, just maybe, their newest show will be a flop.
I can deal with movies being ordinary. We forgave Ricky for "Ghost Town", hey it wasn't a terrible film. We forgave Ricky for "The Invention of Lying", once again, not that bad.
What I don't forgive them for is "Cemetery Junction", because it was a film I enjoyed a lot. It's just a pity that it didn't receive the recognition it deserved, which is a shame. I have my fingers crossed that "Life's Too Short" receives much higher accolades.
In conclusion, if is a failure, Ricky might have to convince that round-headed-mong-mank-twat Karl Dilkington to go around the world (again) experiencing every different kind of toilet. From snow wedge toilet paper to fancy rectum cleaning bidet's.
Here is the trailer for Life's Too Short:

Dozer on Drums for realz.
@grandpetrol @boysnoizerecords
So this is Dozer from Jan Driver's latest album Amatilda. It's a hulk of a track. It's called Dozer.
A lot of the tracks feature this natural sounding drum sound that sound like there was a guy in the studio just bashing away. Well that's exactly what happened and that credit can be given to Sasha Bachman (he drummed on Blow, Dozer and Flags). So naturally someone has recreated it. See some guy play Dozer for realz below.
If you haven't got your hand on Amatilda click here and be awesome.
