Time to Laugh

This movie was on this weekend and I forgot how funny this scene was. My wife and I were laughing so hard we almost threw up. Enjoy.

A New Day

Will.i.am’s new video:

I have to say, I find the renewed patriotism and celebration of Obama’s election win to be fascinating. If you just landed in the U.S. from an alien planet, you would probably assume that We the People were previously captive under some totalitarian regime and were freed by this Obama character. It is obviously just another shift of executive power but the hype surrounding it proves that this election meant an awful lot to black Americans and blacks everywhere.

It is also worth noting how art and creativity as well as alternative forms of communicating (web 2.0) were energized over the course of this election cycle. I think history will remember it as a miniature renaissance for both indie art and grassroots movements.

In case you missed it

The daily show was pretty funny last night…

Visual Worshipper

I am adding a link to my blogroll, Visual Worshipper. I got directed to this site/blog by Mike Work and have wasted a lot of time the last few days reading archived posts and discussions about lighting, sound, and projection display.

Right now there is a great one going on about IMAG in worship. I happen to feel that it is too much and a distraction to the worshipper, but I do not mind it during message/drama.

Anyways, take time to check it out and feed your creative bid-ness.

Presidential Campaigns and art

I am so excited for this election cycle to go to sleep next week, but the one thing I will miss are the videos.

It seem that this election has brought out the best in indie art video and laying ALL POLITICAL CONTENT ASIDE, this emerging artform can be appreciated.

For exampe, I love the satirical writing and use of paper vectors in the first video and was very much impressed by the clean animated layers in the MC Yogi video. Perhaps one of my favorites that was made entirely in Adobe After Effects was the “Obama Messiah” video… if you have time check them all out.

Which ones are your favorites? You may post your favs without preconditions…

Wasssaaaauuuup!

I really detest it when I hear politicians and voters decry “what WILL happen” if the OTHER candidate is elected. Lately, is been, “if Obama wins, the USA will become socialist and sold to China before the beast with 10 heads eats us whole.” I just don’t like fear-mongering in general.

That being said, this was funny:

From Russia, with love

Permission

I’m not making any statement by posting this. I just thought it was a well-made video that makes its point very well.

So comfy
