Every once in a while you will get a client that will ask for a favour. Be it an extra round of editing, extra graphics, or 50% off. Imagine if we would do the same in every day situations – we would be ridiculed. Yet, every one working in the creative realm will get asked sooner or later.

Here’s a film that shows how ridiculous this really is. Enjoy.

And here is the visual proof:

…or is he?

Who can spot how he managed to lift those 30 kg – and balance them – merely on his shoulder and the tips of his fingers?

screenshot80It is not often that I get to play games, and even more seldom that I write about them, but Splitter is a game that has many of the elements I like:

  • It takes no time to learn
  • You can play it for just a few minutes (perfect while waiting for a render)
  • You have to think about solutions
  • There are many solutions to each puzzle
  • No killing necessary
  • You can restart each lever without penalty
  • And it involves real life physics

Another game I can recommend is Buggles Connect over at the Casual Collective. Here you can play against other online players. It is quite fun trying to guess what the other player(s) might do and adjust your own strategy accordingly.

You place your markers in an empty spot and try to grab as many little Buggles as you can. Whoever has caught most of them at the end of 10 rounds, wins.

Enjoy.

RED’s boss, Jim Jannard, has pretty much revolutionized the camera business. Here’s a little thank-you-poster I made (after The Last Legion):

Many years ago I saw a short film that used just the bits before the clapper board. Amazing, how to see the concentration in the actors´ eyes.

Here is a little piece putting together over 100 clapperboards to form a little music clip.
