Dragon’s Lair was a video arcade game from 1983 by Cinematronics which featured beautiful graphics by ex-Disney animator Don Bluth. Seeing this machine as a child was pretty much the most amazing, magical experience – the holy grail of the arcade. I wanted this machine in my house so, so badly and used to have [...]

Great retro media probe featuring Herb Lubalin into the evolution and creative woes of attempting to design a brand identity, in this case for PBS. I love the famous last words in the start of this film, “Designers cherish the time they spend alone, it’s you, your pen and paper. No limits.” Watch this film [...]

Recently posted about the Chameleon living room, and got word from my friend Imri that his friends at Klip Collective are actually the inventors of video mapping with projectors. So innovative how this crew can transform physical spaces with animation and light. Gorgeous. As the inventors of video mapping, Klip leads the field of projection [...]

Dutch lighting firm Mr. Beam has created this cool changeling living room whose appearance is a bit like a chameleon, transforming the entire space into a different living space using just two projectors. Such a neat idea, totally reminds me of some interior spaces from the 1960s when projection on walls was really popular. We [...]

It was in Paris in 1927 that he created the miniature circus celebrated in this film. The Parisian avant-garde would gather in Calder’s studio to see the circus in operation. This film exudes the great personal charm of Calder himself, moving and working the tiny players like a ringmaster, while his wife winds up the [...]

Great to see this old VHS recording of Terry Gilliam speaking candidly about this very influential and creative technique. Love how he sheds some light on some of his secrets and storyboard process. A huge influence in this site I did years back for Nick Graham’s (creator of Joe Boxer) clothing label Nick(it). Would be [...]

First off, silly ants at burning man posterizing time with a blur. Ultra-comical, terrible house music helps bring all the frenetic energy to life. Next, some extra-terrestrial business finding the horde by pouring concrete inside ant and termite colonies and finding alien corpse fossils. So mental. Is the horde here yet? Thank god GW3 is [...]

The Pink Panther and a painter (unnamed, but affectionately known as the “little white man”[2]) compete over whether a house should be painted blue or pink. Each time the painter attempts to paint something blue, the panther thwarts him in a new way. At the end, the painter inadvertently turns the house and everything around [...]
