As he puts it.. “1 minute photoshop thoughts are just that… some thought that comes into my head and i quickly translate it into a crappy design.”
How many times have you been caught up in this circle at 1am in the morning.

London creative design consultants Schulze & Webb wanted to explore the best way to visually navigate through dense cities.
What they came up with is now called “Here & There,” and it lets you simultaneously and seamlessly view a city from the point of view where your are standing and from a bird’s eye view in the sky.
Why? “Because the ability to be in a city and to see through it is a superpower, and it’s how maps should work.”
Here’s the map:
Here’s the visualization:

Ubik were asked to make a film for motionographers inaugural F5 festival. This is it.
The music is ‘A Drifting Up’, which was reworked by Jon Hopkins from his new album ‘Insides’.
They also made this short film for mtv worldwide to help raise awareness of the effects of global warming.
A combination of live action and animation. A globe in a classroom was shot on 16mm which was then tracked and populated with cg toy-like clouds, cars, planes, and cities.
See more cool stuff from Ubik.

Next up in the excellent series of Glug London nights is this little cracker…
For this event they’ve hired the very cool Queen of Hoxton, roof terrace and basement. The event will start from 6pm upstairs on the roof with a free BBQ (and paid bar).
From 8pm (hopefully just before the sun sets on London town) we’ll move down to the basement where Dan, Ian, Matt and Scam from Glue London will be putting together a short talk and run through of recent work. They’ll also be holding some mini workshops.
Unfortunately due to capacity they can only allow 350 to this event so please get your rsvp’s in quick via www.meetup.com/gluglondon.
It’s gonna be a cracker.. so get registered and get down there..!!
This is amazing. It just ticks so many boxes for me…
Rhett & Link’s are two “Internetainers”. They make web videos for you.
This time they made an ad for Red House Furniture. Their proposition is that all people are welcome at the Red House.
The result deserves an award for simultaneous best/worst ad I’ve seen in a long time.
It’s so true that people can try too hard to write funny scripts and fail.
These guys seem great at getting real people and finding great lines and situations.
Here’s the Making Of…
These guys seems to quite a cult following.
As well as goofball ads – they also make short films.
Have a look at their two YouTube channels for more info.
Our first TV ad for 3.
The background to it is that as a brand they really needed to do something to re-establish trust with a very cynical public.
We needed to be real, non-shouty, quietly confident and do something that didn’t try too hard.
We also had to launch mobile Skype.
Oh and we had just under four weeks from brief to going on air…….
I think it has turned out pretty well.
It’s a platform that they can build on and ‘changing mobile forever’ sets them a challenge intrenally to keep striving to improve.
The main character Jason is a lovely bloke. Lead singer of Bugz in the Attic and perfect for this.

I’ve been trying to get my hands on a fresh copy of Technodubfest for ages. Luckily I saw Charlie again recently and promptly stole a copy and this and Spooky “Gargantuan”. Result.
This CD was put out to promote the release of Sasha “Airdrawndagger”; which Charlie and Junkie XL worked on.
Tom (Junkie XL) never managed to work on Technodubfest. He went stellar almost overnight with his Elvis remix “A Little Less Conversation”. They agreed to keep the name the CD because of the sudden surge in publicity around him.
Charlie has just released a new EP on La Tour called – Not My Cat
If you like your music with a electronic dubby vibe – give this a go.

This guy has rigged up a MIDI Controller to dominate Guitar Hero 2
Just have a look at this..
If you’ve never tried to play drums then I cannot begin to tell you how hard this is.
The song is gobsmacking bad – but you can’t help but bow in awe.
