Design from Brooklyn with Love

God and money. It’s funny.

Found this amazing fan-created video for Goldfrapp’s Solar on the Coudal blog. Utterly beautiful.

Hugh Atkins, you are a genius. Matthew, thanks for the link. This is so good it hurts.

Jerry Levitan, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic armed with a tape recorder, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto in 1969. He managed to get John to agree to an interview about peace. This a video made from the interview with super groovy graphics placed around it.

Imaginary Forces have put together a great little short featuring Paul Rand’s work and his design philosophy.

New York isn’t easy to pin down. For those who’ve seen too many Woody Allen movies and think you know what Manhattan is all about—or listened to a few too many 50 Cent albums and think you know how hard Brooklyn is—then this is for you.

Made In Queens is a film of a handful of kids, from Trinidad and Tobago, living in Queens. It is an insightful story into the raw diversity that makes New York wonderful.

Radiohead never ceases to amaze. Their new video for “House of Cards” bypasses cameras altogether in favor of Geometric Informatics and Velodyne Lidar. What the f%*^k is that, you say.

“The Geometric Informatics scanning system employs structured light to capture detailed 3D images at close proximity, and was used to render the performances of Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, the female lead, and several partygoers. The Velodyne Lidar system uses multiple lasers to capture large environments in 3D, in this case 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute, capturing all of the exterior scenes and wide party shots.”

Of course.

Way to go PES eaters! This is the kewlest thing I’ve seen on the interwebs in a while. Check out Western Spaghetti by PES. Stop motion animation hasn’t looked this delicious since Gumby. What? Am I the only one? Here we have the latest in peeps spending way too much time doing stuff for no good reason except to make something that’s enormously cool. I guess that’s one way to spend your hours. That and watching another (maybe last?) good season of Project Runway. Please to enjoy! + =Deliciousness!

Who would have ever thought David Byrne would join forces with Dizzee Rascal!? Great song, despite the seemingly impossible pair-up. Love it!

And sorry, I know nothing about BPA.
