Covered by Trent Reznor and Karen O for David Fincher’s upcoming adaptation of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I fell in love with this version when first heard it on the teaser trailer and sweet kakow jebus its good.
The soundtrack is also available to purchase online, but I’ve made the mistake of over-listening to soundtracks before watching the actual film too often to know it usually distracts the viewing experience for me. That cinema release can’t come sooner I say.
Been somewhat busy again, but no matter. Carrying on a recent trend of posting videos, here are a few more I’ve picked up my website absence…
First off is a reading of ’twas the night before Christmas’ in several impersonated voices. Not all are spot on, but the range and ease of transitions are pretty damn impressive in this…
Second for some real good fun is this little animated pokemon short which everyone has probably seen by now but I just love.
And then we have a demonstration by the brilliant folks at MIT of a camera that can capture video of photons traveling at the speed of light. Awesome concept? Awesome concept.
Here’s a quick slice of some Battlefield 3 gameplay that is just top shelf with perfect choice of music…
And finally, this stop-frame animated short film is just brilliant and effective in its simplicity.
Actually, make that one second to last. Thinking about it, I probably should have separated these out more, but meh… This one can thematically round out this post where we started with something Christmas and we’ll end with something else Christmas-ish… (if it doesn’t inadvertently ends everything else in the world)…
Professor Brian Cox hosts a lecture and guests include Jonathan Ross, Jim Al-Khalili, Charlie Brooker and Simon Pegg to name a few? Definitely relevant to my interests.
I used to love these way back when at university times when I was heavily into editing and the results were just plain awesome.
This is the winner of “Camp Kuleshov”, a competition between assistant editors to take a movie and cut it down into a trailer for a completely different type of genre film. I’d say what they did with Jaws here is quite the bit of fun, even though there’s some compositing work at play.
Oh, it’s now coming up to that time of the year where damn near everyone online is creating ‘best of’ lists to both round out the year and take a break before the next one comes hurtling along; and I’d say they’re well justified in that. 2011 has been on helluva real roller coaster ride and I always find photography collections to be the best objective/subjective summation of a year.
This is just small portion of the 100 photos collected by Reuters in their Best photos of the year 2011 and I well recommend checking them out. Some graphic in nature, some evocative of high emotion, all relevant in looking at how we’re existing in the world today.
