Glimpse Game Trailer

Roderick — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:42:23 +0000

This was part of a game submission by V7 and the Masters of Digital Media Program to the 2010 Independent Games Festival. The deadline was yesterday and a trailer was required. This is what I came up with in a day, thanks to G7 Records and their hot Gucci Bag track that inspired the concept. I wish the team who has worked eight long months on this project the best of luck – you guys are gold.

Ultrasonix System Reliability

Roderick — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:31:47 +0000

The engineering team here at Ultrasonix is focused on delivering reliable and durable products to market. One tool we use to determine possible issues is to run a series of tests on a vibration table to simulate real world transport and daily use conditions. We applied random vibration and shock loading to the Sonix Touch system to see how it would perform. Check out the video showing the Sonix Touch on the Vibration Table.
The system performed quite well. Using Solid State Harddrives ensures system recovery even after aggressive random vibration and shock loading with power being applied to the system.

Snoop Dogg’s Closet

Roderick — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 22:09:12 +0000

Two months ago I posted a video advertisement for the Cleveland Cavaliers that referenced a very popular Heineken commercial. Milking the concept for all it’s worth, Snoop Dogg along with Slightly Stoopid, Stephen Marley and Verne Troyer promote their tour by showing off their own walk in closet.

Office 2010: The Movie

Roderick — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 12:57:13 +0000

A while back I posted a few videos directed by Dennis Liu. He originally directed an Office (MAC) Viral Video attempt that only went 100,000 far on YouTube. In May, I came across this video and didn’t think it was neat nor exciting enough to post. Since posted on July 9th (less than a week from this post), the following video has received half a million hits.

His studio Traffik Filmworks is responsible for the 2 minute trailer that includes the stylish Hollywood approach to the Office (Microsoft’s). To further it’s reach the social networks Facebook and Twitter have been added to the campaign.

Microsoft Office 2010

Hitler finds out Michael Jackson has died

Roderick — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 18:31:35 +0000

It was only a matter of time before someone created this for Michael. Bruno Ganz’s performance in the 2004 Downfall is one of the best portrayals of Hitler and renditions of WWII that I have experienced. This war room scene is literally convincing enough for any translation to work.

Safety from Air New Zealand

Roderick — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 03:22:03 +0000

My hard drive recently decided to give me I/O errors when trying to boot so my computer’s been out of commission the entire week. Posts as you’ve noticed will be sporadic until Apple returns my iMac.

In the meantime, I came across this interesting safety video for flying on Air New Zealand’s 737-300. It’s essentially the same safety instructions aboard any flight, except this Kiwi airline managed to score 3 million views online by stripping it down to the bare essentials.

Kia Ora

He’s Barack Obama

Here’s another video featuring Barack Obama.

JibJab is a company known for allowing users to send personalized greeting cards to friends and family in video form with the assistance of a head cropped photo of the users choice. To promote their services, they released this fantastic animated short involving Barack Obama on a very appropriate weekend.

With the Radio & Television Correspondents Dinner, where Obama delivered yet another rather entertaining speech, and the press coverage of Obama’s reaction to the situation in Iran, JibJab’s video definitely receives many of its views due to the timely release.
