Validation

This is a nice short film that shows that everyone could do with a little validation, and a smile.

Superman and Emma Frost Speed Paint Tutorial

These are done by friend Kelvin Chan, who also collects a lot of art books. He has a deviantart page also, with lots of great art.

One's on Superman, obviously, and the other is on Emma Frost.

Laundry day by Guillaume

I thought this was freaking hilarious animation done by Guillaume.

Simple set. Almost real situation. Great acting (expression) and voice acting. Good twist at the end. All elements of good storytelling.

Ackerman for President

There's new candidate for presidency!







These are hilarious. In case you're wondering, they are actually promotional videos for the upcoming game Red Alert 3, which I'm going to buy.

Massa's Ferrari Drove Off with the Fuel Hose

That's the lamest thing that could happen to any driver. I just can't get tired watching it over and over again.

Priceless entertainment.

I'm glad F1 Singapore has finally drawn to a conclusion. The days just got busier in the art department as the race date approaches.

Youtube: Loveless Art Book

Another art book video I found on Youtube. This time for Loveless.

Youtube: Naruto Art Book

I've always wanted to get the Naruto art book but somehow hesitated. Here are some videos on Youtube.

Youtube: Shadow of the Colossus

This is the art book for the video game Shadow of the Colossus. The book is in Japanese and sold on amazon.co.jp.

Youtube: The Age of Conan Art Book

This is the concept art book for The Age of Conan, which I found on Youtube.

The set and character designs are very detailed. It seems like a great book.

Streaming Music: Yasunori Mitsuda's Kirite

I've been listening to Yasunori Mitsuda's Kirite album on youtube.com so much that I thought it would be easier if I can just create a fake album that actually plays on this entry. That way, I don't have to go to their individual pages anymore.

Maybe I'll just grab it off from eBay.

Enjoy. It's a wonderful soundtrack to a novel. Mitsuda's the creater of Chrono Cross's soundtrack.

Flipping Through The Pages of Art Books

I've just created a set on Flickr that contains videos of me flipping through pages of the art books I've reviewed.

It's called Flipping Pages on Flickr. I really like the high quality videos that are showed, much higher than the compressed videos from Youtube.

3D Octupus Action Thriller: Oktapodi

This short 3D animation has some really good storyboarding sequence. It shows the power of story telling with a modest set of highly stylized renders. Great stuff.

You can find the concept art for the movie at their Oktapodi website.

This is very very good. Spoof of infographics.

Menu highlight gone, again

My menu highlight is gone, again.

Really have to partition my harddisk already.
OSX starting to behave like Windows OS.
End is near.



Flickr video isn't so bad. It's clear!
