xtra normal – If you can type, you can make movies.

October 13th, 2009 Bruce No comments

Stumbled across this today and looks likeit’s worth exploring. They have basically created 3D characters and little worlds that you can create movies from. And you can do this by simply typing the text for the character or characters that you want them to say and they will act it out. I believe the free version is static but there are more worlds and characters if you are a premium user and these can be moved around.

Great idea then and certainly has that wow your mates as to how you’ve made your own movie out of digital cartoon dudes! Will have a further play around and let you know if it’s any good in reality. These movies will only be as good as your script of course.

And I found this becuase a colleague sent me a bit of a comic skit on a conversation between a media agency person and a media owner. Pretty funny.


Agent versus media owner on YouTube.

But, coming from a digital and creative agency background, I found this one even better!


Graphic designer versus client.

Volkswagon entices people to use the stairs by making them into a piano!

October 8th, 2009 Bruce No comments

So this is a great idea indeed from Volkswagon called Pianotrappan. They wanted to encourage people to change their habits and take the stairs instead of the escalator. How do you do this? easy. Make the stairs into a working piano so that people can have fun making music when going up and down! Ok, so not great music but fun nonetheless.

All part of a hopefully growing website dedicated to helping people to change by making them happy. Nice idea. The website, rolighetsteorin.se, is in Swedish but here is the English tranlation from Google.
