The Crisis of Credit Visualized

Este video nos ayuda a entender de una manera entretenida el problema del “credit crunch” que estamos pasando ahora mismo.

Film Students, Stop Whining And Use The Internet

Note: This started as a simple post of this video that I found and wanted to share and has turned into something else.

Sometimes in Puerto Rico I hear a lot of people complaining about how it is so hard to produce a quality short or movie. I hear about budget issues and distribution issues, etc.

Then I see people like Peter Roe who lives in England and is an avid fan of 3D and CGI, who decided to work on his own project and distribution of a small reel of the little projects he decided to do on his spare time. He is not alone; there’s a lot of people like Peter that have been able to do masterpieces that, although have not made it to the “big screen”, have found large audiences online, where distribution is plenty cheap and easy (and global!).

And I begin to think of how is it that I see these people complaining. Could it be that they are not creative enough to come up with great ideas? Or maybe they have been trained in the old ways of “movie making” where you have to have a big “budget” and a “crew”?

With all this technology and tools freely available to all (like Linux, Blender, Vimeo, etc.), why is it that I can’t find a single Peter Roe in Puerto Rico?

Ok, enough rant, here’s his work:

Piss Screen

Para ayudar a reducir la incidencia de personas guiando borrachos, Saatchi & Saatchi en Alemania junto a una compañía de taxis decidió inventarse el juego Piss Screen, el cual se juega en el baño mientras orinas. Usando un par de sensores de humedad, el juego te permite controlar un carro corriendo a la Need For Speed hasta que al final terminas en un horrible accidente fatal que quizás te convenza a que llames a la compañía de taxi (cuyo número sale en la pantalla) en vez de intentar guiar borracho.

Aquí un video del sistema y luego otro del “Making Of”:
