I just wanted to  share a video. It's about Greenpeace campaign aimed at stopping Facebook from using coal power in its data center in Oregon. I came across it while watching "Savage" channel at vimeo.com Greenpeace - Facebook 1 from Savage on Vimeo . you can read more about this campaign on  Tom warren's post @ neowin.net Disclaimer: The video shown here belongs to respected owner and shared here for appreciation purpose.

About a month or two I came across an image talking about Evolution Of The Batman Logo by Andrei Robu on some blog. This study really had something catchy about it. specially, I could see some movement in the bat logo if rolling  your mouse roller in a particular up and down rhythm. I thought, what if you take these bat logo as a frames and put them into a timeline how they will look like. so I made a video out of sequence of those images (without using any metamorphosis or re-arrangement). here is what it looks like:   here is the actual study image :  Evolution Of The Batman Logo by Andrei Robu Disclaimer: All the images/ logo shown here belong to respected owners and shared here for appreciation purpose.

Just found out there is an animated series on Leonardo cartoon book by Tturk De Groot . The video looks true to comics. Leonardo is a Belgian/French comics cartoon character based on Leonardo da Vinci.  I have 2 or 3 album from the comics series. I was impressed with the visual style and innovative gadgets which were the essential elements of the humor of the series. Now watching all those elements come to life is a pleasure. Here is the official trailer for the TV series: you can know more about it on the official site: http://www.leonardlegenie.com/ info about authors: http://www.actuabd.com/Turk-Bob-De-Groot-Leonard-est-ne There is also a web game: http://www.leonardlegenie.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/catapulte/ELI_LNRGAME_Catapult_vCJ_2-1-7.html Disclaimer: All the character images/videos shown here belong to respected owners and shared here for appreciation purpose.

Interpretations of a visual concept can be really unexpected when you leave space for the ambiguity.(may be sometimes being over smart) This is the case I feel might be in the billboard ads from Vaseline. What do you feel at first when you see this ad? and how much the copy helps you to grasp the concept here? First thing that strikes is the high quality print and the framing of the visual. Then you try to figure out what happened to lady's hand? The ad got the viewer hooked and curious to figure out what it is all about. Before the viewer reaches on the final conclusion, he processes a series of thoughts. lady got a crippled hand. your lips will become as good as a baby's feet. you should kiss a baby's feet after using Vaseline love of a mother for baby  the copy of the billboard :" Healthy pink lips, Never stop caring" doesn't really help you to inform but adds to your confusion. 

Asifa India 2011 International Animation day.  It's here again. a chance to showcase your films and get due appreciation. This time we don't have anything to send there. looking at past events I think this one is going to be better. It is heartening to know that there are a lot of events are being organized to showcase creative work and bring in industry to collaborate on the same forum. http://www.asifa.in Comic Con Express Mumbai is on 22-23 Oct.2011. I had visited Delhi version of this event. It was small but a good start for generating momentum. I got to meet a lot of friends and seniors there. I hope Mumbai version is bigger and better.  http://www.comicconexpress.com Disclaimer: All the email flyers shown here belong to respected owners and shared here for appreciation purpose only.

Every now or then I browse through the web games. Currently, I have been drawn to puzzle and logic games. I avoid playing games where there are too many key instructions and furious clicking. Here is a list of my picks, there is no particular sequence. Splitter Snail Bob Cover Orange Ninja Painter Cube Droid These are not new games but I happen to discover them recently. Snail Bob has pretty charming graphics. others also have appropriate visual appeal. why I am writing a post? It is because I enjoyed these games quite a lot and so it's kind of shortlisted bookmark. It usually happens when you want to play something for 10-20 minutes, then if you search for a quality time pass game form a huge heap of games.it is frustrating to choose from thousands shiny thumbnails (when the game is loaded you realize the game is a trash). that's the reason for the post.
