Newton's 3rd law has been pwned? Apparently by using photons (wavy massless particles) to create an effective mass along with an object of negative mass, German scientists cheated Newton's 3rd law which states - For Every Action There Is An Equal And Opposite Reaction. With this technique there is no opposite reaction... for more head over to Gizmodo!

The similarity is coincidence??? Also 42 in Japanese is pronounced "shini" and means "death", so in a way the intelligence answered the question (what is the meaning of life?) correctly aside from the fact that it took really long time to do so...

Imagine an empty worrying Paris.
Imagine that human action is more harmful to our fragile planet.
First, "hypocentre" was a technical exercise for us. Then we decided to focus the film on the environmental side. It's new for us, more specialists in the travel video, to try to do a short film.

So first we(not me) had Teddy Ruxpin, a delightful animatronic pal for little kids. Then we(I was there) had Ted, the CGI-based, foul-mouthed, binge-drinking pal once those kids grew up. And now there's apparently a gun-toting, Sock Monkey-slaying, cyborg-bear vigilante roaming the streets. Stephen Colbert was right, these things are terrifying....

The Mega Plush from Matt Burniston on Vimeo.
Set in the shadows of a gritty underworld, a war is brewing. The Mega Plush, a group of four plush toy vigilantes, are struggling against the uprising of the SOC (Society of Chimps) army. Good vs evil. Bear vs sock monkey. The question is "who has the stuffing to survive?" Watch the first episode of this epic showdown and meet the crew at www.themegaplush.com

My first NSFW post!

Today I came across an interesting video on Gizmodo definitely NSFW (not-safe-for-work) aka not for those below age of 18 and beware of who is around you when and if you decide to watch it!!! Well recently I have been watching any and all vimeo / youtube video posts on the blogs I follow to find content for mine. Anyways the video starts off weird (weird even for my standard which is highly weird enough) with an unusual style of animation and then Louisa Bertman (the narrator) proceeds to recount her own youthful obsession with obtaining the "perfect" set of breasts in this frenetic, sometimes explicit but ultimately touching and thought-provoking animated short. I agree with her message at the end of the video.

Deathigner

Courtesy of Lauren Davis from io9, I bring to you Deathigner!

Deathigner (pronounced like "designer" but with a lisp) is a delicate short story created by Tzu-Hsuan Fei, Kuan-Tien Chen, ke-Ching Chang, Ya-Chu Hsu, and Li-Ying Fu of the National Taiwan University of Arts' Department of Multimedia and Animation Arts.

It goes over the schooling (the first day basically) of Osiris', Grim Reaper's, and the "avatars of Impermanence"'s (???) children at the Death School. Instead of trying to read my rambling here... I suggest you watch the video and come up with your own interpretation of the video :P

Oh! By the way, there will be some violence since you know it is dealing with soul reapers, souls, bunnies, and (ahem!) death... you have been warned!

Yet another heartbreaking video (you have been warned!)

So... I might have a knack for capturing heartbreaking videos despite being a cold mean robot (ahem! friends).... A street rat tries to save its lab rat love from a research robot. Now where have we seen a similar scenario before? I am going with Wall-E. But after watching the video, I would have to agree with Lauren Davis from io9... I'll never look at a bag of Cheetos quite the same way again.

@JonNgAnimation
Facebook.com/RequiemForRomance

In this "crouching love, hidden breakup" story, inspired by 50's Shanghai water ink animation & kung fu films, themes of distance, tradition, art and longing dominate a telephonic conversation as a martial arts tango provides the visual backdrop.

Shannon Kook, star of Degrassi the Next Generation and The Conjuring, won the best voice performance at the ACTRA awards for his role on the film. Vid Cousins composed the music based on an original musical theme by Kid Koala.

The film won Best Art Direction Award at Anima Mundi, Best Canadian Shortwork at the Whistler Film Festival, AnimAsian award at the Toronto International Reel Asian Film Festival, Audience Choice Award at the Athens Animation Festival in upstate NY. It was nominated for prizes at Cristal Festival in Switzerland, Golden Reel award at LA Asian Pacific Film Festival. The film was Official Selection in Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film, Melbourne International Film Festival, Palm Springs International Shortfest and was presented as part of the Best of Quebec presentation in the Cannes Market in 2012.
