Simpsons Anime

Friday, October 26th, 2007

I don’t know about you, but I’m a big fan of anime. I don’t have the resources to watch as much as I’d like, but I do like watching what I can.

The video titles are pretty self explanatory – the Simpsons have been drawn in human anime style.

Part One

Part Two

I think the drawings are great. I don’t like how some of them look – like Homer and Maggie – but I think Marge, Lisa, and Bart look awesome. Smithers looks a bit odd, but funny.

As for Krusty, it could be my dislike of clowns coming through, but he looks just plain creepy.

These all look like they’re from a poster of some sort, so if anyone knows where that can be found, please let me know. I would love to check out the whole thing.

Shadow Art Show Video

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

By Dave Parrack
Brit Music Scene

The first time I watched this YouTube video of a human shadow puppet show, I thought there must be some camera trickery involved, it’s that impressive. It’s all real though, and performed by a dance company called ‘Pilobulus‘.

We can all do those small shadow puppets with our hands against the wall, making a simple shape like a bird, but this is something a whole lot better, and harder to choreograph.

The first shape made is of a tall man, and it’s incredible how perfect it looks, with no weird deviations at the edge of the form. I suspect it took quite a few takes to pull this one off.

Next comes a bunch of fat penguins, and if it wasn’t good enough to just take the form, they make them waddle along too. I enjoyed watching this more than ‘The March of the Penguins’.

And then it just gets stupidly complicated as the group of body puppeteers make a silhouette of a van with passengers, complete with a guy running after it in a cartoon fashion. How do they do it?

Lastly, the group turn in to a gun… once which shoots! The whole clip is astonishing, and come sun down tonight, I’ll be practising my skills in front of the light. I fear for my neighbours.

Hope you like it,

DaveP

Three Year Me

Monday, July 9th, 2007

What first came to mind when I watched this video is: Wouldn’t it piss you off to have taken a picture of yourself every day for three years to only end up with a video that’s only a little over a minute long?

I admire the dedication, but I think this would be more effective if the person was losing a large amount of weight over a period of time or something like that. This is akin to watching someone who has put together hundreds of pictures of his/her face. Period.

Still, it’s somewhat interesting to watch. One time, anyway. If you pay close attention, you can pick up the small changes that happen.

New YouTube Digger Banner And Things!

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

Look, up there, yes, above you, see what that is? It’s a spunky new banner for YouTube Digger, and it’s a work of genius!

The 451 Press network has finally relented and let us design and post our own banners for our blogs. I’m sure you’ll agree it makes a welcome addition to the blog, and makes your friendly YouTube video blogger stand out from the crowd a wee bit. Ok, so I’m not exactly beating the YouTube blog for traffic quite yet, but I’m getting there slowly.

Big Yellow - Tide Advert

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

Most TV advertising is rubbish these days, so that’s why when a great one comes along, I like to spread the love for it on here. This latest ad for The Big Yellow Storage Company is one such class act, and is directed by Dougal Wilson.

Bruce Lee High Speed Art

Bruce Lee high speed art

Add to My Profile | More Videos

This is obviously from MySpace rather than YouTube, just for a change. It shows a guy who calls himself Phil in the circle painting Bruce Lee on a massive canvas in a rather unusual way. While I think the end result isn’t the best portrait I’ve seen of the great man and master martial artist, it’s done in such a unique and clever way, with the guy using a series of chops and karate moves to create the work of art, it’s well worth drawing attention to and posting on YouTube Digger.

John Locke From Lost - Speed Painting

Monday, March 5th, 2007

This is not only a great video but also a brilliant piece of artwork. Done using Photoshop, this portrait of John Locke from the TV Series and mega hit ‘Lost’. Terry O’Quinn plays the former disabled guy and now hunter gatherer character, and is probably my favourite from the show, currently on it’s third series. (more…)

Star Wars Hand Version

Monday, March 5th, 2007

This is pure class! I love this version of Star Wars which is done entirely with hands. It’s very clever, and is probably more enjoyable than sitting through ‘The Phantom Menace’! (more…)

Influences

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

This is a great video short of a guy painting on his body. He chose 30 people who have influenced him in his life and painted them or an object that represents them. He’s got a website where you can see the work and some brief details of each picture at Phil In The Circle. (more…)
