New Brainland (map)


The above map's original data was created from a reference photo of a real human brain which was used to build the 3d terrain. This digital elevation model was then used to create contour line data, relief shading and to plan where the roads and features should be placed for map compilation. Real New Zealand public domain data was then added for the surrounding islands.

Tom Waits animation


Tom Waits and Donna Gordon as the stripper,
Performed live (at the La Brea stage in Hollywood, 1978), and rotoscoped - a process that traces back the live action
frame by frame and turns it into animation. The original live
action was shot with 5 cameras - 2 high, 2 low and one hand
held. The music from "The One That Got Away" blared in the
background as Tom sang karaoke style different lyrics on each
take. Two strippers, Donna Gordon was the choice, 6 takes and 13 hours of video footage were edited to make a 5 1/2 minute live action short which we turned into animation. A total of 5,500 frames were caricatured and then re-drawn, inked by Mike Cressy and painted by hand onto celluloid acitate to produce this film.
Produced by Lyon Lamb, directed by John Lamb, the film bore some cool new technology, talent ( David Silverman, producer and director of the Simpsons TV series, and director of the NEW Simpsons movie to be released in July of 2007, was our head animator and also his FIRST job as an animator) and was created specifically for a video music market that didn't yet exist . But
the buzz was out and we went on to create what arguably may be the first music video created for the new and upcoming MTV market.
A series of unfortunate events prohibited the film from ever
being released or sold commercially, consequently catapulting it into obscurity... until now,thanks You Tube!
In 1979, an Academy Award was presented to Lyon Lamb for the
technology used in this short.
The production materials (character sketches, layouts,
storyboards, animation drawings and cels) are still amazingly intact and held in private hands. However, a few of the production elements managed to slip away over the last 28 years and occasionally, one of these rare gems can be found on ebay.
To learn more about this amazing lost film, go to ....TomWaitsLibrary.com and Wikipedia.

Alberto García-Alix




Self portrait

Alberto García-Alix, fotógrafo español
[French wiki] [Spanish wiki]
via Livejournal


Débutant son travail artistique en 1976, après la mort du Général Franco, Alberto García-Alix est considéré à partir des années 1980 comme l'un des principaux acteurs du mouvement culturel de la Movida, bien qu'il s'en défende et se présente comme un photographe de la marge: les milieux underground de la nuit, du rock'n'roll, des bikers, des toxicomanes, des stars du porno.

Depuis quelques années, il réalise également des vidéos.

Récompensé du Prix national de la photographie espagnol (1999), il a réalisé plus d'une trentaine d'expositions et publié dans de prestigieux magazines de mode (Vogue, Vanity Fair). Reconnu dans le milieu de l'art contemporain, ses œuvres sont aujourd'hui présentes dans plusieurs musées en Espagne, et il expose à travers le monde. Aujourd'hui Alberto García-Alix est parfois qualifié de «plus grand photographe espagnol contemporain».

Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton - Our Hell


Director: Jaron Albertin

Our Hell

First went wrong is hard to find
We're paralyzed, we apologize
Our hell is a good life
Last went wrong, where's my prize under the lights
Can we call it in?
We'll be on the road
Can we stop?
When we stop my back will turn your face toward the fence
What I thought it was it isn't now
All this weight, is honest worse
We're moderate, we modernize
till our hell is a good life
All we know what to forget... how to do right
Coloring in the black hole
Can't we stop, when we stop
My hands will shake, my eyes will burn
My throat will ache, watching you turn
From me toward your friends
What I thought it was it isn't now
What I thought it was it isn't
Punishment to stall what is done
What I thought was in is missing out
What I thought it was it isn't now
There's a pattern in the system
There's a bullet in the gun
That's why I tried to save you
But it can't be done
