I found this and thought I'd share it with you good people.



Need I say more? :-)

This is a must-have for this blog. This is not only clever because the technology is clever (which it is - the blending of live action heads with CGI bodies and location backgrounds) but because the artistry is clever - look at the moves the characters are performing, someone spent a long time with a motion capture system as well translating it into baby-sized moves and hanging it together into foreground, background etc., but also - it's great because it is SO well directed!

Watch it several times. The characters are watching each other. Stop frame it when two are skating side by side - they are either smiling at each other - with precise eye contact - or watching each other's feet. Sooo clever.

There's a "Making of" video on YouTube as well - you can find it. I don't know how many hours of live action baby expressions they shot, but well done guys, the result was worth it.

I hope people remember the product! :-)

Google Wave
Friday, June 12, 2009



Around a million people must have blogged about this already, but I can't resist adding to the huge number of words already published about Google Wave.

If you're into technology you have to watch this video. Yup, it's 80 minutes, but after the first 5 you'll be as hooked as I was.

I wish I was a programmer, because I'd love to work with this. As it is, I'll sit and wait for Wave to be released - and believe me, I'll be signed up on Day 1.

This is phenomenal work and it proves yet again, that to succeed, you don't have to reinvent something that ain't broke (Bing versus Google Search) but in the best lateral thinking tradition, rather than digging the same hole deeper, go and dig a new hole somewhere else.!

I want Google Wave and I'm going to be there on the doorstep when it's released. I say again; watch the video - actually it's probably best to go to YouTube and watch it, choose HQ so you can see the screen shots clearly, and click on full screen!

This is what I've been doing for the last couple of days; not only organising the technical and staging aspects for the National Congress but changing the branding for CSHS as well!

MeWelcome, I'm Steve Bell.

I'm currently working as Marketing and Research Manager for this organisation.


I have been writing a blog for over eight years now and (hopefully sensibly) I tend to write about the things that I know a bit about and that interest me - like Gadgets, Software, New Media, Radio, TV and Marketing.
