Happy President’s Day

Feb 20, 2012   //   by Devlin   //   Blog  //  No Comments


It is time to remem­ber the works of two great men who fought for the cause of lib­erty and free­dom, Pres­i­dent George Wash­ing­ton and Pres­i­dent Abra­ham Lin­coln. What bet­ter way than with their own words. The cause of free­dom is never fin­ished, let’s all roll up our sleeves and fol­low in their footsteps.

Get­tys­burg Address as recited by Jeff Daniels.

Sit back and watch these amaz­ing time lapse videos of the stars and the earth. It is hard not to become mys­ti­cal see­ing the heav­ens and all cre­ation unfold before Tom Lowe’s lens.

The footage was shot for his upcom­ing film “TimeScapes,” a mod­ern por­trait of the Amer­i­can South­west.

Amazing Sort Animation: The Night We Were Kings

Feb 6, 2012   //   by Devlin   //   Blog  //  No Comments

The Night We Were Kings

The Night We Were Kings”  is truly beau­ti­ful short ani­mated film by five stu­dents, Chloé Nico­lay, Mandy Wyck­ens, Anthony Leje­une, Gas­pard Sumeire, and Léa Jus­tum, from the Gob­elins School of Image in Paris, France. It is so rich and poignant. A won­der­ful reminder of what it is to be young and in love. NSFW, brief ani­mated nudity.

Best Superbowl Game Ever

Feb 5, 2012   //   by Devlin   //   Blog  //  No Comments

Today is the big day for fans of Amer­i­can Foot­ball. I love the spec­ta­cle of this quasi-national hol­i­day. I’m not a big fan of either team, the Giants or the Patri­ots, so I hope it’s a good game. But I found this great video on YouTube show­ing the best Super­bowl ever, in my opin­ion, the Rams beat­ing the Titans in 1999. Of course being a life­long Rams fan has noth­ing to do with my opin­ion, yep totally unbiased.
