Breaking Bad opening scene

Okay so I guess we get onto things a bit slower over here but, anyway...

Best opening scene to a TV show (or movie for that matter) that I've scene in ages. From the pilot for the series "Breaking Bad." Great series starring Bryan Cranston who I didn't recognize for the entire first episode. He's the dad in Malcolm in the Middle, which is another show I love. Cranston is totally unrecognizable as the main character Walt White, a chemistry teacher who runs into a few problems. Anyway, won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't read anything about it. I would just recommend you to watch it whenever you get the chance.

Ruben Frosali

These pics are by Tokyo-based photographer/graphic designer Ruben Frosali from ReallyJapan (you can check out his blog here too. An absolute natural. Ruben is able to capture the grittier side of Tokyo - and Hong Kong for that matter. He's recently been sharpening his photoshop skills adding bits and pieces to make some cyberpunk-esk shots.

Yokohama Coyote

While I'm in the mood for plugging people...

My mate, Hiro, aka Yokohama Coyote is a music video director doing cool stuff with his Canon XL that he runs around Tokyo shooting clips, guerilla-style, with. He was asked by a video company to come onboard as an AD. He promptly said goodbye. He's now working on a short film project, the result of which I'm very keen to see.

Here's one of his videos:

Mattb remixes

Right this is my last one for the day.

Matt's got some awesome new remixes of some tracks including a Mochipet song.
I might some more about them later when I have some time.

Anyway you can download them here.

Mad Smack

Some very cool stuff coming out of Tokyo at the moment...

These two artists Broken Haze and Joga coming out of the IDM scene have teamed up to form Mad Smack, a glitch hop outfit, remixing their own tracks and some more well-known RnB and hip hop tracks. Check out their MySpace page here.

Bust-a-capacitor shot list

Well, it was one of the more painful episodes... The Bust-a-capacitor clip that put me in debt for a year and then was almost completed... before my lead 3D animator bailed. That was after maybe 13 artists bailing during the course of the post production. We still managed to get some nice shots out of it. But it's not a completed clip is it...

Back to it.

I really am resurrecting it this time. I promise. And to prove it I'm going to be realistic by writing two lines and then posting a pic. Everybody check out this piece created by Phil Couzens at FreeSoulDesign

... it's good.
