  5. Make Room in those Panties MFs!

    March 27, 2008 by jef

    This has been my favorite YouTube video for 2 years running. Nothing can knock it out of the top slot, no Chocolate Rain can do it, i was tempted, but was not convinced by the Star Wars synopsis by a 3 year old, and Fred Spencer is always a pimp.

    So i thought it would be nice to pay a tribute to NIM by fully realizing NIM into a slamming track. Check out the track i made:

    I made this with an MPC1000, Access Virus Ti, NIM samples from the video, and much love.

  8. Director is alive! RIP Director!

    March 26, 2008 by dave

    My old AD chatted me up to lemme know that Adobe recently released Director 11. Back in the day we used Director alot. Not only was it a game publishing platform but a great production tool we used to do 2d animation, art production work and heck even to write xml! It kicked the shit outta flash which always suffered from poor performance. We all assumed Director was dead and buried but it has recently risen from the grave as Director 11! Um now when I say risen I really mean more like a crawling out decaying zombie. Night of the Living Dead zombie, not jesus zombie.

    I’m not sure where to even begin. I haven’t kicked the tires all that much but lemme just fly loose with my poorly researched assumptions.  ;) For one it still requires a Director shockwave plugin for which there aren’t any for intel macs (you gotta use the rosetta workaround). The new features are sad for a release after so many years and it’s still costly at one thousand USDs! They’ve added new file formats for import but this kinda support is hardly a feature especially for Flash support which should be a given. What else…unicode…physics engine…whoopee!

    Opening up Director again after almost a year i forgot how much i loved the interface. Flash’s interface makes no sense to animators and no sense to programmers. Neither like to use it so who is it catering to? I learned animation by using Director. Having a decent onion skin tool and real-time updating takes the technical limitations out of the equation and allows for quicker creative growth. In Flash you gotta almost unlearn animation to navigate it’s clumsy interface. I wish they would just finally smash together Director and Flash and bring their pros together. I’m sure that’s alchemy but a boy can dream.

    I dunno what Adobe’s doing with Director. I wish they would just kill it or overhaul it. They should have released this a week later, it would have been more appropriate.

  10. Bomb the Bass … Rock this Place! (with puppets)

    March 24, 2008 by jef

    Bomb the bass has made awesome electronic music before it was cool to make awesome electronic music. They also collaborated with big names like Neneh Cherry for her Raw Like Sushi album (still amazing 19 years later, and one of my faves) and Depeche Mode, after Alan Wilder’s departure, on the Ultra album. So i encourage you to check out this amazing music video done by Perish Factory (who has other great videos on their site): Bomb the Bass: Butterfingers (QT movie)
