Giant Stop Motion Video
A year ago we posted what we thought was possibly the best video viral ad of the year, The Olympus PEN story. Created by shooting 60,000 pictures, developing 9,600 prints and re-shooting over 1,800 pictures again it was a piece of stop motion magic.
Well, twelve months on, they’ve done it again with PEN Giant. This time the photographs have been pasted onto 355 billboards and plastered around a fast moving cityscape. Yet again it’s a sight to behold and your jaw drops at the sheer audacity of the execution.

I’m A Cider Drinker
Here’s one of the new style cinema style video virals, this time for Kopparberg Cider. Scroll over the video unit above and click on it to expand the action.
The ad was filmed by Daniel Wolfe at the oh-so-trendy Notting Hill Arts Club, one of our favourite small music venues. It features the kind of hip-indie soundtracks you’re likely to hear at the late night music venue and a crowd of west London trendies grooving on down.
Adam Boulton Explodes – Again!

Adam Boulton Explodes
Move over Nick Clegg and David Cameron, the real bruiser in this election campaign has been Sky News’s political frontman Adam Boulton, here exploding at Labour’s Alistair Campbell.
He appears to have thrown all impartiality out of the window in advance of Sky’s rumoured intention to follow it’s sister broadcaster Fox News to be a self-avowed right wing TV station.

London to Brighton in Two Minutes
London to Brighton in two minutes – HD version from Lobster Pictures on Vimeo.
Following on from our post a couple of months ago featuring the famous BBC interlude film, London to Brighton in Four Minutes, here’s a modern-day update captured in 2006.
It just goes to show that will all this fuss about a multi-billion pound High Speed Rail Network in the UK, the real answer to our transport needs lies in deftly used time-lapse photography.
Whereas the 1953 version achieved an average speed of 810 mph over the 54 mile London to Brighton run, this 2006 upgrade gains a supersonic 1,620 mph (that’s more than Mach 2).
