Khoda

I saw this on Digg and thought I had to pass it along here... though it certainly doesn't look like this is alive any longer.

What if you watch a film and whenever you pause it, you face a painting? This idea inspired Reza Dolatabadi to make Khoda. Over 6000 paintings were painstakingly produced during two years to create a five minutes film that would meet high personal standards. Khoda is a psychological thriller; a student project which was seen as a ‘mission impossible’ by many people but eventually proved possible!

Model Building

Just incase anyone else was/is interested in building models, here's a website I really like. I mostly use it for Gundam, however it has a variety of other things as well.

pandora.com

If you like listening to music while you do your work for school or your job, this site is awesome. You just type in an artist or a song and it comes up with an entire radio station devoted to music that is similar whatever it is you like!
go to pandora.com, it's pretty sweet...

I waited till the last minute and didn't have anything to post, so here is something stupid and funny...

Meth Minute 39

I saw "Internet People" last week or whenever it was that it got published but it didn't immediately have the biggest impact. But after seeing "Sex Machine" and then revisiting Dan Meth's previous episode it's growing on me. Maybe I'm just jealous that I didn't come up with such a great idea first. Anyhow, check out this guy's stuff on his frederator site, Meth Minute 39, it's really good, and keep an eye on him for the next few months, he's planning on publishing a video once a week, I believe.

Am I the only one who keeps forgetting to post?

I'm sure you've seen this in an email before, but if not these chalk drawings are really awesome!

HP Commercial

I don't watch a lot of TV so this may not be new to everyone, but I just saw some pretty cool HP commercials that I thought were great examples of digital art.

Shaun White
The Making of the Shaun White Ad

An interesting side note, the snowboards shown in the Shaun White Ad were actually illustrated by James Jean, who is probably one of my favorite illustrators.

Reto Kaul - Concept Artist

It is so frustrating to find such awesome artists that are several years younger than me. But awesome art is still awesome art, no matter who you are.

Reto Kaul is a Swiss freelance concept artist that is kicking my ass. Check out some more of his stuff by clicking the links below.

Recording sound clips

So on my flash project I contacted a friend who does editing that could help me sample audio from a DVD. Google sucked ass for the whole process....so he sent me this link and it was SUPER FUCKING easy to use...

Basically on a mac you hit the record button and it will record what ever the output audio is. If you take a sound clip you will hear IM windows popping up and whatever is playing on your itunes, so make sure there are no other sounds going on.

After you hit stop at the end of what you want to sample, it will ask you to save. (AIFC) because its a demo version. Save it to desktop, then drag it to itunes. Right click the file in itunes and convert to MP3. From there drag it in to flash...etc etc...

Since my blogging skills suck, I decided to share this fucking awesome program with you....
