Friday Videos - March 30th, 2018

posted March 30, 2018 #

You hear that new Quichenight song? Go give it a whirl. Oh, and I got name dropped in a Billboard article about shaking things up in Nashville! Did not see that coming!

Have a great weekend. Remember to give yourself some healthy distractions and relaxation time... start with these:

Droop Snoot - educational and Internet relevant.
A Million Times A Day - I don't know how I ended up in this playlist but it has not stopped delivering the goods.
Andy Samberg as Eddie Vedder - from the Independent Film Awards 2017, here's a delightfully funny concept that turns into a bit of an endurance challenge.
Bill Hader breaks down his Best 9 Roles - 13 minutes is a long runtime for a Friday video but this is a good watch. Interesting start to finish.
How Dark Patterns Trick You Online - if you're a designer, none of this is surprising. If you're a user of the Internet and not a designer, you should certainly be aware of this. It's a reminder that Technology is not neutral.
Clogging on Techno - how I've never seen this before, I do not know. How this is so utterly delightful for 8 long minutes, I dare not question.

The Visual Effects Of Annihilation

posted March 29, 2018 #

Whatever your thoughts are on the film adaptation of Annilhilation (I loved it), you can't deny that the effects were superb. I highly recommend reading through this interview with visual effects supervisor Andrew Whitehurst that walks through their inspiration, their execution and how carefully they tread the line with subtle effects throughout. The entire portion about Mandlebulb shapes is enough to make it a worthwhile read but they go into great detail about the creatures in the film, how practical effects were augmented and how the final scene was created.

Really loving the combination of handdrawn styles, pro half-toning and subtle animations in the portfolio of Matthew Sharer, aka Shurrrr. His instagram has a bunch of additional work and he runs a shop called Temporary Enterprises.

Lots to take in but be sure not to miss the Grand Palace Leopard or the Stairs print.

I often scour Bandcamp looking for new Nashville releases for the WOTT Music podcast I curate. I recently came across a collection of beats from an artist named Bloopr and the cover art really caught my eye. While there's a lot going on, the combination of aesthetics really works for me - hand scrawled but meticulous, chaotic layout but patterned and repetitive. I don't know what all is going on but I like it.

That artwork stems from Nate Bard. His Instagram and Behance are a solid offering of work from unique type to collage paintings to something else entirely.

Not to get all Black Mirror/your dad about it but wild how there was a time when 'brb' was necessary because you weren't just constantly mainlining the internet in the background of the rest of your life

You think you know stress? When I grew up, if you missed a TV show you just missed it. Forever.
