Say "CHEEEEESE"

SAN RAFAEL, CA, May 5, 2009 – Telltale and Aardman are announcing the release of The Last Resort, the latest of four monthly Wallace & Gromit games that open up the world of West Wallaby Street like never before. “The Last Resort” is available today for PC from www.telltalegames.com as part of the Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures series. The games will also be coming soon to Xbox LIVE® Arcade.

Telltale’s Wallace & Gromit games are like interactive films, with humorous storylines and creative characters conceived in collaboration with Aardman’s award-winning team. In the new episode, Wallace and Gromit’s Blackpool holiday is rained out, so the enterprising inventor and his clever dog bring the beach to their basement with the construction of West Wallaby Waterworld, a makeshift resort complete with sun, sand, and Wallace’s homemade boardwalk attractions. Keeping their guests satisfied turns out to be tricky business, particularly after one is thumped on the head by an unknown assailant. Everyone is a suspect! Now Wallace and Gromit must work together to finger the culprit, with a little help from Wallace’s latest invention: the Deductomatic.

Maggie Wang’s Oversized Sackgirl – Heavenly Sword

p1010021

Maggie is just too damn good at this art.  She should really start selling some of these.  The whole internets is taking notice to her art work and everyone wants a piece of it. This time she has made a sackgirl of Kai from Heavenly Sword.  It comes in at a height of 13.5 inches and a weight of over 1 pound.  As with every sackboy/girl creation, her atention to detail to the inspiration video game character is perfect.

I’m defenitely going to try and get Maggie on PixelatedLIVE sometime in the near future so we can all learn more about her and her process to make a Sackboy/girl.

Church Youth Logo Fail

church_logo

There are not enough words to describe how wrong this is or how relevant. This is an old logo designed back in 1973 for the Catholic Church’s Archdiocesan Youth Commission. It won an award from the Art Directors Club of Los Angeles.

How Big is Your Lens?

Compensating for something?

Compensating for something?

Now, I’m not sure what kind of photographers need a lens this big, but in the whole my ‘lens’ is bigger than yours, this one takes the biscuit! Actually I’m pretty impressed that Juza can wield the $28,999.00 monster Sigma 200-500mm F2.8 EX DG without a tripod, especially that he can get any sort of steady shot with it. Check out the sample shots below, and if you see anything you like, head on over to Juza Nature Photography.

Carousel: A Cinema 21:9 Production

If you loved the opening credits sequence of Watchmen, you’re going to love the video below by Phillips.  This video was done to promote the new 21:9 Cinema Widescreen TV.  It looks like when a machinima artist “pauses” the game and runs around the map or level.  The full sequence below also loops around to tell the story. Very artistic, very creative and very awesome.

UPDATE: StinkDigital has given us exclusive Behind-The-Scenes photos and video of the production!

Anime Paper Children


This is the first time I’m seeing this.  An idea so simple, yet super creative.  I don’t think I can do something like this.  Well, I could try, but stick figures might not have the same creative effect. =P

After looking at all of these photos, you’d think there would be an anime version of A-Ha’s “Take on me.”
