Don't Look!


It's been a long time since I've posted a good animation, so it had to be a good one. And this short by Nick Khoo is nothing short of brilliant. A beautiful style and brilliant story come together to make one fantastic little piece.

World's Largest QR Code!





A family in Canada grew the world's biggest Qr code in their corn Field!

Having already been famous for their corn mazes (maizes? far too corny... sorry!) they have now entered the record books and truly made history with their latest creation.

Covering over 29,000 sq meters it is the largest functioning QR Code in the world, although you'll need to fly over it to be able to scan it! They made a video showing the functionality to prove that it works by flying a helicopter over the QR Code of corn and scanning it on a smartphone.

“It was something that we didn't think would happen. There were a lot of little things we had to do and Guinness is pretty picky with how you collect your evidence. We were a little bit on edge on whether it would come through so we were very relieved and very excited,” Rachel Kraay told CTV-News.

A brilliant creation, but like many Guinness World Records, utterly useless! Also, if you're ever considering using a QR code yourself, do check out this site first www.shouldiuseaqrcode.com

I think I'm on that dark with of YouTube again...


Sometimes you just find yourself on that dark bit of YouTube. You don't know how you got there and you've no idea how they let this be on a non-censored website, accesible to all, but you're very much intrigued by what you find.

On this occasion it was a short film called GUTTER, I assume it's by Yelawolf, the american rapper and general artist. It's twisted, dark, creepy and I wouldn't suggest anyone who is at all squeamish to watch it. There are some truly disturbing scenes that I'm surprised are even allowed to exist.

So hey, enjoy!

Incredible Animated GIFs




Absolutely Stunning set of animated GIFs by Matthew DiVito. With Flash being dropped by Apple our animators will look for something else to latch onto to make people pay attention to things and  click them. A step backwards to animated GIFs could be the way forwards. DiVito shows extreme skill in these continuously looping animations that are visually stunning and beautifully retro. Great work here, really great work.

"Matthew DiVito is a motion and graphic designer based in Boston, MA from USA. Matthew is also famously known as Mr. Div and if you haven't checked out his blog; well you're missing out! With a combination of After Effects and Cinema 4D, Matthew creates some really stunning retro and modern GIFS. I hope you'll enjoy them."
