Transworld Snowboarding In Color Trailer

I’ve not picked this video up yet but plan to at some point. The riding looks good and it seems right on par with the Forum and Absinthe videos I’ve grabbed recently.

2010 Snowboarding Videos from Absinthe, Forum, and Teton Gravity Research

September 19, 2010 by mg33

Snowboarding season is just around the corner and I am as happy as I could possibly be about watching summer fade away. Expect to see some frequent posts throughout the winter about various weekend trips I’ll be taking up north to Wisconsin, and hopefully a trip or two out west. Thanks to the awesome group that started up Windy City Ski last season, a few resorts in Wisconsin are just a 3 hour bus ride away, giving me and other Chicago snowboarders a chance to skip driving and get in a few hours sleep on the way up at 6:30 am, ride all day, meet new friends, and get a fun bus ride home when we’re all exhausted. Snowboarding is hands down the best thing I’ve ever gotten to do in my life, so even just a couple trips last season basically made the year for me.

I’m getting pumped to see many of the new videos coming out this season – but I’m really excited about what Forum, Absinthe, and Teton Gravity Research have to offer, the latter of which is about on Jeremy Jones and an incredible trek to hike and ride some previously inaccessible big mountain terrain. Looks like it will be showing in various cities, but not Chicago. I’m sure it will be on DVD soon enough. Absinthe’s NowHere looks good and I really loved last year’s video Neverwhere. Forum’s F It also looks promising in true Forum fashion. Just don’t get the song stuck in your head like I did!

Jarratt Moody – The Commonwealth

January 18, 2010 by mg33

I regularly pick up each issue of IDN but rarely dig into the DVD that’s included. The new issue, The Colour Issue, has quite a few great videos, but this one really caught my eye and led me to the work of Jarratt Moody. He’s got some very impressive video work on his site for Pepsi, Animal Planet, CNN and other clients. I really like the Wilson commercial (might just be a spec project but it’s impressive nonetheless) not only because of the visuals, but because my favorite Sigur Ros song is used for the music.

Great Intro Sequence for Fox’s Human Target

January 18, 2010 by mg33

I caught the pilot episode for Fox’s new show, Human Target, last night and thought the intro sequence was really great. The music leaves a little to be desired, but visually it’s a stylish mix of what looks like digital water color and ink blot tests. Great collage feel overall; it might be one of the better intros for an action show in quite a while.

New Swiss Bank Notes Competition Results

November 4, 2009 by mg33

I found this over at QBN yesterday. Apparently it was a competition to design new bank notes, as described on the Swiss National Bank web site:

As part of the planning process for the development of a new banknote series, a competition for the artistic design of the new banknote series was launched at the beginning of 2005. Twelve artists were invited to present their designs for all six denominations on the theme “Switzerland open to the world”. The jury met in November 2005 to evaluate the submissions and to decide on the winning designs. These were presented at a news conference in Berne on 23 November 2005. You can view them by clicking on the names of the individual designers.

Here are a few examples of the winning entries:
