Friday Videos - March 13th, 2015

posted March 13, 2015 #

Happy Friday the 13th! I'm headed out to Austin tomorrow for a bit of SXSW Film + Interactive. If you're around, give me a shout.

Earl Sinclair performs Hypnotize by The Notorious B.I.G. - you know B.I.G. died on March 9, 1997? What better tribute to his death than a puppet Dinosaur singing one of his better songs.
Spoon Take Away Show - I have listened to the previous show about a thousand times, I suspect this one will be no different.
The new Å KODA Fabia Attention Test - you will probably pass the test but it's a clever little trick they deploy to distract you.
Cat attacks a turtle - the sheer fury here is impressive.
Entertainment - Two Old Men talk about Entertainment. My favorite yet.
Health Scare - Two Old Men talk Health Scare. If you missed my expressed love for this series, go to it.
Christmas - Two Old Men talk Christmas.
Shake It Little Tina - Low Cut Connie - you get the gist of this pretty quickly but then you can't look away from the sheer volume of different locations.

Have a good one. If you need further distraction, go make some ridiculous GIF's with Facemoji.

Social Gifting

posted March 13, 2015 #

We recently announced a new feature over at VHX called Social Gifting. Basically, when a publisher turns the option on it allows anyone that purchases a copy of their work to give out three free rental copies of the movie. Instead of sharing logins or nefariously trying to work the system, we're giving customers the ability to share the wealth (and it helps publishers spread the word).

Currently, you could buy the documentary series The Double Fine Adventure, heart crushing drama The Ever After or nutty animation Kick-Heart and receive three copies to share with friends. There are more publishers than just those three using it but that's a good place to start.

In fact, I've got three free rental copies of The Double Fine Adventure series to give away. Hit me up Twitter if you want a copy, or be quick and claim this copy now.

Untitled Famous Movie Posters

posted March 13, 2015 #

I love a good movie poster design exercise and these Untitled Famous Movie Posters is a great example of why. Artist Madani Bendjellal has done a fine job of removing the primary titling work on these recognizable posters and they're somehow still instantly recognizable. I guess a good movie really can get that ingrained in your psyche. See them all here and your best to guess what they are from before reading the caption.

Two Old Men

posted March 12, 2015 #

I should absolutely save this for Friday Videos but I'm loving it way too much to keep it to myself for any longer. The premise is simple - two old men sitting around chatting about whatever nonsense. The execution may take a certain someone to really get it tho. Those of us that grew up in the South or went to Church regularly mostly definitely encountered individuals like this. It is, for me, hysterically perfect. So far there are only two episodes but I have the highest of hopes for more.

Christmas - two old men chat about their Christmas time.
Health Scare - two old men chat about a recent health scare.

Many thanks to Josh Stafford (aka Shaboi) and Gabe McCauley for being these Old Men.

Tyler Thompson, current product designer at Big Cartel and previous Creative Director at Squarespace, has a myriad of wonderful works to check out. His walkthrough of the Big Cartel iOS app is insightful and well put together but he's got a whole other undertaking of Collage Work that should not be missed.

The Internet does one thing very well (among others). It destroys business models, particularly those long held by legacy media companies.
