  • Ooh La La, Britney

    Oh man, American pop music must really be in a dire situation if people are praising Britney’s latest song, Ooh La La — for The Smurfs 2 OST, I swear this is the last time I mention that movie — as “vintage Britney” and describing it as “folksy pop-tart” with “whimsical vocals,” because yeah. I’ll defer y’all to SunnyHill. [1][2][3][4] You’re welcome.

    Anyway, I’ll roll my eyes to the song and the music video. I just wanted to talk about Britney. I think this is the first time, since the early 2000s, that I’ve seen Britney happy. And I’m happy she looks happier. I think she enjoys spending time with her kids. I wish she could be happier through most of her week.

    What I’m not entirely sure is if she should be adding her kids into the music video — she should know she’s exposing them more than what paparazzi shots would be. Adding them into her music video would make them fair game. I hope she’s not turning into her own mother.


  • Dvein’s Magma for Adobe

    I refuse to call this a music video, since it’s actually been commissioned by Adobe to promote their upcoming cloud system. But… it’s beautiful. All done by Spain-based Dvein. I’m uncertain about the credit to The Vein.

    Original Vimeo upload.

    There’s also a Making Of available if you’re interested.


  • Edet Soft ‘Edet Paper World’

    I want this (Dutch???) toilet paper!

    The best toilet paper commercials we ever got in Peru were of Suave, featuring Luis Miguel’s hit song, Suave [MV] — that’s the only one that ever stuck in my subconscious anyway. That one, for the song, and there was another one of a little girl who wanted to go to the washroom at a mall or something, and she was only with her father. Obviously, he couldn’t go it to the ladies room, so she went in with her father staying by the door giving directions, where he spurts “ahora limpiate tu potito.” (now clean your tushy).

    We aren’t any remotely close to having this kind of toilet paper commercial.

  • A Fox Tale

    Back in 2009, a group of French animation students did a short taking on Peruvian culture (and doing it better). This year, a fresh new batch of French animation students are taking on China with their short, A Fox Tale.

    Animal spirits are mischievous little creatures… and humans can be idiots. xD

    Directed by Thomas Bozovic, Alexandre Cazals, Julien Legay, Chao Ma.
    Music by Guy-Roger Duvert
    Sound Design by: Nicolas Titeux


  • How to Train Your Dragon – Live Projections

    This is just amazing.

    A show of live projections, puppets, and music was developed to put on a How to Train your Dragon performance. It brought memories of Walking with Dinosaurs [1]… but, you know, with digital displays.

    I don’t know what I would think of it if I were a kid… I know I probably complain about how kids don’t know how to be kids any longer, but things like this make me want to be a kid to experience it like I should. xD

  • The Silence Beneath the Bark

    Also known by its French original title, Le Silence sous l’écorce. The animated short directed by Joanna Lurie follows two… little beings (?) who wake up as it begins snowing.

    The short was one of the few shortlisted for the Best Animated Short Oscar nominations, but it missed out on it just like Sensology.

    This style is challenging my eye to figured 3d, 2d and mixed media.

    There’s also a short making-of the short.
