Friday Videos - Dec 22nd, 2017

posted December 22, 2017 #

It's that time of the year for me to take a break from the daily blogging routine. Every morning I try to post 1-3 new items of interest and add to the sidebar throughout the day. I don't pay much attention to my stats for the most part, doing this more for my own daily exercise than anything, but it's always good to know someone might be out there enjoying it. I genuinely hope you do.

I've got some posts queued up for next week that will review my yk records releases and this weeks Friday video compilation includes plenty of the longer variety to help you with the long stretches of holiday downtime.

Thanks for reading and have a great remainder of 2017. If you still find yourself looking around for more to watch, try out this massive Ween archive of shows. That should more than fill your time.

Eizin Suzuki

posted December 21, 2017 #

I've had the above two images sitting on my desktop for a few months, simply there to serve as a pleasantry to view from time to time. The work is by Japanese illustrator Eizin Suzuki, a man with a talent for finding that perfect balance of simplicity and detailed. The official portfolio of work isn't the most pleasant to browse but if you have the patience, you will find the most delightful creations. The inclusion of random color spots and confetti flying around gives most of his work a feeling of some upbeat occasion having just happened.

Poke around and find pieces from his Light Falls series, that perfectly depicts realistic shadowcasting while still feeling like a foreign otherworld.

Fun fact, the first world of the first Sonic the Hedgehog game ("Green World") was directly inspired by Suzuki's color palettes.

The Carpenters Christmas

posted December 21, 2017 #

There's limitless amounts of Christmas music out there but I've been told by countless, unrelated, parties that there is no better than The Carpenters Christmas Portrait. It's hard not to enjoy that "Overture" or the "Winter Wonderland / Silver Bells / White Christmas" medley.

Personally, I've always been a fan of The Three Suns A Ding Dong Dandy Christmas but I'm wiling to expand my horizons.

Magic Leap Launch

posted December 21, 2017 #

It certainly seems like it's been a long time coming but the VR outfit Magic Leap has launched... a new site. The intro interaction is an undeniably impressive, immersive, beast - as you'd expect from a company hellbent on being the frontrunner for augmented reality.

Aside from a pretty new site, the real story is that the Creator Edition of their goggles, controller and Lightpack (puck shaped computer) will be available in 2018, along with an SDK to get some "real world" application of the hardware out there.

Reading sci-fi for the majority of my life has made me apprehensive on too much escapism into digital worlds but, despite that, I can't help but be excited by the prospect of some executed AR. Hopefully Magic Leap is able to deliver.

Every December I have to re-learn that if I’m going to start a candy cane, I’d better be prepared to finish it.

The Autumn Man

posted December 20, 2017 #

Smart Objects is a new band out of Nashville that released exactly one song, The Autumn Man. Despite not having much of a body of work to dive in to, this song is good. It's been in heavy rotation for me since its release in August and now they've unveiled an official video for the track.

The endeavor is actually comprised of work from nine different animators, each using a consistent "character" through their piece but going off on their own wild tangent of style. Long story short, if you're watching the video and feel yourself getting bored, wait 15 seconds and you'll get a brand new eyeball treat.

Adding the Star Wars ending to any video makes it 10x funnier. https://t.co/rorhPVpMFY
