Emu POTW: A Glimpse of Everything

This mashup via “directorial collective,” Crush, is comprised of over 400 intertwined video pieces. The result is a little overwhelming — it’s hard to know where to focus your attention. I found myself drawn to the giant wormhole into nothing on the third tier — and then found a line of treadmill runners to the left. Overall, it’s a strangely addictive mishmash.

Beatles Rock Band Cinematic

Wowza! Incredible psychedelic renderings in the new opening sequence of this Guitar Hero spinoff.

Star Wars: The Backfilling Continues

Admittedly righteous trailer for new game, Star Wars: The Old Republic.

That’s not to say I can’t nitpick a little. I mean, aren’t these Boba Fett-gadget types getting a little bit overpowered (a la Iron Man on steroids)? The one in the trailer seems like she could take out the entire Jedi brigade by herself.

And does every Sith Lord have to have the full-body cybernetic breathing suit? Is there no other way to use the Dark Side without suffering full-body disfigurement? Meh.

You can watch the trailer here.

(Removed the embed because it was annoying as all get out.)

Sebastian’s Voodoo

Great piece by UCLA upstart Joaquin Baldwin that made a run at this year’s Cannes.

Carl Comes to Life

carls

These are some of the hopefuls to be cast as the role of Carl Brutananadilewski, the next door neighbor and comic foil to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Though it doesn’t show on their faces, these boys are lining up to score the role of a lifetime. Is there a live human being with enough verve, enough anima, enough emanations to truly inhabit this character? Only in the premiere live action episode/season six finale of ATHF will this be revealed.

In the words of Carl, himself, “If you need anything, you know who to look to – someone else.”

You Are A Terrorist

Is it just me, or does this video carry more weight by virtue of the German narration?

This piece has a little Monochrom flavor to it. Yes, they’re Austrian, and I get the distinction, but they both do the German-accented anarchical satirist thing.

Here’s an example.

Octocat Adventure

Animation Savant David O’Reilly created this web series while posing as 9 year old submitter, Randy Peters.

My Little Pony Blockbuster Slated for Summer

It’s another 80s cartoon/toy ready for the big screen. It’s My Little Pony, and it’s bad ass.
