I have been following and waiting eagerly for this short movie to be complete, and now the time has come! The reason why I have been so intrigued in this is because it was made with FREE open source 3d software, called Blender. I have been a bit skeptical about using it, but seeing this motion piece definitely impresses me.
Big Buck Bunny reminds me of one of those Pixar shorts. I like the fact that it’s short and not overdone, and I also like how more attention is put into those few minutes. The characters are funny and well modeled and the story is enough to grab your attention as well. Check it out if your into things with a similar flair to Shrek.
Really neat idea here. These bracelets are created from recycled camera lens! The reasons I love them are: I love the colors used on cameras, I love the small type, and I love the idea of taking a camera that is typically known for creating art, and actually making art out of the camera.
These are all one of a kind, so get them while they are still around! Prices range between $190 and $265. You can purchase them at Oye Modern.
Posted on: June 2nd, 2008 MP3 Amp
The MP3 Amp is simply a speaker for MP3 players or any audio device that can be plugged in with 1/4 audio jack. When I first saw this, it immediately made me think of these miniature amps that Marshal makes for guitar players. Essentially making it so you can rock out anywhere. This speaker definitely has a cool look to it and it will grab attention if you own one. Once the music is playing, you can even adjust the treble and bass as you would a standard amplifier. Pretty neat, and the price is pretty miniature too!
The Small Stakes is a independent design studio run by Jason Munn. For the most part, I think all the pieces in the portfolio are excellent. I am a big fan on simplicity done right, mainly because I love how you can still get such a big message out of something simple or small, and The Small Stakes definitely hit the nail on the head with that. Which, I have to add, is pretty difficult. The ‘Less is more’ approach isn’t as simple as most think.
