Wowzer ch-check these snazzy hats out! I just love the new, brilliantly executed Flat Fitty Summer 2010 video lookbook. Shot on location in Hong Kong at the famous Big Buddha statue, the lookbook follows two travelers as they visit the statue and surrounding area, all while wearing some of Flat Fitty’s signature styles and collaborations with brands big and small. Flat Fitty aims to out-service, out-innovate, out-deliver, and out-price the competition. Flat Fitty–Always on Top.

Woah! A killer pixel invasion imagined by Patrick Jean. There’s something for every retro pixel lover here, whether it’s classic space invaders, pong or donkey kong on the empire state building. Shot completely on location in New York City, this is the latest of many fantastic videos produced by the One More Production crew!

It’s very rare that you hear great punk/hardcore bands captured well in a live environment. It’s such a difficult thing to co-ordinate, the technical intricacies of the the guitar work and double bass drum fills, alongside the twiddling bass. Not to mention the anthemic vocals and the general passion filled atmosphere. And thats just the sound. The boys at New Speak Productions have mastered that audio black magic, and mixed it will some pretty impressive video footage to create a winning concoction.
They have filmed bands such as Propaghandi, Strike Anywhere and A Wilhelm Scream, Bouncing Souls, who we all know are as energetic and passionate in their delivery as in the musical content. Fix your beady eyes on some of their videos below.

I saw this video, whilst flicking through some satellite channels the other night. Brilliantly executed. Fine Tune. And has that Beastie Boy’s fight “For your right…” 80′s thing going on.

FLAIRS – TRUCKERS DELIGHT from 3rd Side Records on Vimeo.
This my friends is the greatest animation I have seen for a long time. Created by relative unknown Jérémie Périn, this video is the title promo for the new Flair’s EP entitled Truckers Delight. Lionel Flairs is a cockney parisian electro popping hybrid who creates some very listenable 80′s influenced music. No wonder the video is a grotesque homage to 80′s pixel art and 8 bit gaming. It’s rather rude in a manga-esque way but works rather nicely. Check it and prepare to laugh your retro brain off. Oh and be warned it’s not for the easily offended…

I was about 8 or 9 when I first watched the original Nightmare on Elm Street, and it definately had a lasting effect putting the chills up me for months if not years afterwards. As the franchise expanded (and I grew up), Freddy became more of a comedic caricature of himself – the only scare being how more ridiculous he could become. He even appeared in a commercial for the Italian snack food, ‘Fonzies’, where he breaks into a house during a party to eat the salty Cheeto-like snack. There was also going to be a game show from CBS in 2005 that never ended up airing called A Nightmare on Elm Street: Real Nightmares. Freddy was the host making contestants come face to face with their nightmares in an attempt to help them overcome their fears. However he was still an iconic figure of the 80′s and Robert Englund will always be heralded for bringing so much to the part.
So when I heard there was going to be a 2010 remake with Englund, I instantly thought it was scraping the bottom of barrel. However I do think it looks rather good. Director Samuel Bayer has tried to round the character off with a sympathetic intro storyline, and the whole ambience looks suitably creepy rather than gory. Jackie Earle Haley who played Rorschach in the Watchmen, looks quite convincing and as the lead role too. The film is not out until next April, but I definately think it’s worth the wait.

“The Noises Rest” from lonelysandwich on Vimeo.
You may notice the fantastic scores and title sequences in movies, and often have high adrenaline soundtracks pumping through your ipod. But there is always a much more interesting use of sound happening in the films you watch.
According to wikipedia. The Foley artist on a film crew is the person who creates many of the natural, everyday sound effects in a film.
So the crazy guys at You Look Nice Today attempted to reveal the mysteries and unearth the understanding of this process.

Observation Two. Jessica is awesome. She has great hair, nice teeth and fucks Bill off. Enough said.
Kim (Kimlovesstuff.com) makes some acute observations about series 2 of True Blood
I’ve also got to declare that I love the title sequences too
- brilliantly shot and a cinematic beauty in it’s own right.

Don’t those images look gorgeous? I love the simplicity of the colors and it pays tribute to the original whilst propelling it right into 21st century. But before you see these images come to life and watch the video, read about the amazing viral scavenger hunt campaign that went along with it.
Earlier this week many offices of popular film review sites across the internet received a interesting package from Disney’s PR. The package contained a USB stick with an animated .gif and some code and two shiny ‘Flynn’s Arcade’ coins. Upon deciphering the code, people found out the next step was to visit www.flynnlives.com – a site dedicated to Kevin Flynn – who was played by Jeff Bridges in the original TRON film. Other internet boffins had notice www.homeoftron.com was live too – which was the tagline on the back of one of the coins mentioned earlier. The guys at Slashfilm.com documented their TRON viral package.
Some other TRON-ites realised the countdown clock on one of the sites counted down to Thursday 9.30:pm and upon further investigation they found a San Diego address on the site’s privacy policy. It became clear to folk that this led them up to the hotly anticipated San Diego Comic Convention.
Thursday came, and thousands of people gathered at the address in San Diego where they were given special instruction to look for TRON posters dotted around the city. They were given mysterious maps and ultra cool blacklights to decipher messages. After numerous false starts and mis-mapping, eventually this led people to a large nondescript store front. It was neon lit with the word’s ‘”FLYNN’S”. A massive queue entailed, but inside was a retro festive array of arcade machines, concept drawings and the unveiling of a full size beautifully lit light cycle.
Goodies such as posters and tees were brandished, and it’s fair to say Disney were quite happy to spend a ton of money to hype this film way before it’s release, so this is set to be BIG! But what an amazing way to promote a cult film, engaging original fans / geeks, modern media and inspiring a new generation all at the same time.

THIS video however is EVEN MORE truly mind-blowing!
