Dali + Disney = Destino

Josep M. Ganyet — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 20:25:46 +0000

An old project by Dalí and Disney never realized because of financial problems in 1945. This short was released by Disney in 2003 after working on the original Dalí’s storyboard.

Francis Ford Coppola talks about amateur video in 1991

“To me the great hope is that now these little 8mm video recorders and stuff have come out, some… just people who normally wouldn’t make movies are going to be making them, and – you know – suddenly, one day, some little fat girl in Ohio is going to be the new Mozart – you know – and? make a beautiful film with her little father’s camera…corder – and for once the so-called professionalism about movies will be destroyed. Forever. And it will really become an art form. That’s my opinion.”

Come to Rochester: retrofuturistic motion typography

Josep M. Ganyet — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 22:34:15 +0000

Interesting mix of an old promotional video for the city of Rochester, NY and motion typography overlaid on top. Love the soundtrack and the voice over.

Short movie created by Constant Revest (aka KNST) for the Audi Talents Awards 2010 (Flash website warning).

Copying is not theft, for dummies

Josep M. Ganyet — Fri, 14 May 2010 22:00:51 +0000

For all those who still don’t know the difference between stealing and copying and still don’t understand how the laws of the digital and the physical world differ. No excuses this time. Cartoons, animation and catchy music that even the dumbest copyright holder can understand.

The purpose of these Minute Memes is to give educators and commentators more tools to help clear the air. Copying is not Theft conveys its simple idea with a catchy tune, clever lyrics, and delightful animation by Nina Paley.

Wow! This hurts! Steve Jobs open letter to Adobe about Flash, HTML5 and Open Standards

Flash was created during the PC era – for PCs and mice. Flash is a successful business for Adobe, and we can understand why they want to push it beyond PCs. But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards – all areas where Flash falls short.
