What does Marsellus Wallace look like?
Published by Ronny on May 20th, 2010 in Check this. 1 commentYou have probably already seen this version of the famous ‘What does Marsellus Wallace look like?‘-part of the cult movie Pulp Fiction… But did you know about this one?
That’s the number one reason to have a Google Wave account, right there.
Interactive freerunning game on Youtube
Published by Ronny on May 5th, 2010 in Check this. No commentsYou’ve probably seen those interactive Youtube games but I kinda love this one (because it let’s me be that cool guy that does those crazy moves without breaking all of his bones!)
Check it out!
Jarvis, are you there? At your service, sir.

Did you see the first Iron Man movie? Well you should have. It’s freaking great! But I’m not going to make this a write-up about that movie. I do hope you did see the trailer for the second one? If you haven’t: enlighten yourself!
But this isn’t about the next movie… Well, not directly. Marvel put up a pretty cool interactive demo of the Jarvis HUD and the Iron Man mask, in order to give you a taste of the second part of awesomeness! If you like geeky Flash stuff, you just HAVE to check this one out.
Note: Loading, installing (it requires an additional plugin) and configuration is pretty slow (and kinda buggy) but it’s really worth the effort. It’s very reactive and it just looks great! It’s a great example of augmented reality and using cool graphics. I love it! Go and check it out!
Interactive music video by Pendulum
Published by Ronny on April 12th, 2010 in Check this. 3 commentsLast year a lot of my spare time went into timelapse experiments and I always wanted to explore something new. Ultimately I got to a point where I just couldn’t go any further since I didn’t have the tech to do it: I wanted to record a 360° timelapse and then create a videoplayer which allows users to ‘look around’ while watching the timelapse.
Apparently some of the Pendulum guys thought of the same thing. The created a music video in 360°. While the video plays you can just pan the camera around and see everything. You can pause the video at any time and check out the environment. I think this is pretty great! Every user will actually see a totally different video, depending on ‘what they look at‘. Totally cool, totally what I had in mind! Oh and the track isn’t too bad either!
Painting done the hard way
Published by Ronny on April 8th, 2010 in Check this. 4 comments“Wow!” was all I could say when I saw this!
This is a little documentary about Dave Lefner. He’s a artist, located in Los Angeles. He ‘paints’ using something called linoleum block prints. I have never heard of it before, but when I saw how it’s done and how amazingly cool the results looked, I wondered why nobody ever told me about this? The whole process looks so amazingly great!
On top of that: I love the video editing and quality! The footage looks so amazingly great! The colors, the shots, the image quality. It looks like the pixels were hand drawn onto the screen by an angel!
In all seriousness: What kind of videocamera does it take to capture such footage? If you do know: Please let me know!
