World’s first music video made using Instagram
There is something romantic about stop-motion films. Something very primal that takes film-making back to its photography roots. I think its simplicity is what find I particularly charming.

Sight: a sci-fi short film
The future of technology and user interface is augmented reality, if concepts like Google’s Project Glass are anything to go by. Images, directions and information all placed before your eyes, a bit like the Iron Man suit interface. Follow directions through in-ear speakers, take pictures by just blinking your eyes, all seem like extensions of [...]

Resurrecting legends in 3D
Over the weekend we came across the work of Amsterdam based graphic artist Stephan da Costa Gomez. His work over at his Behance page is beyond awesome, which is also where we found a series of classic portraits of Hollywood stars. Only that these portraits have a grim twist.
