Incredible nightmare generator.

Faces from arturo castro on Vimeo.

All joking aside, this is an amazing use of three different technologies (Kyle McDonald's ofxFacetracker + Jason Saragih's facetracker library + Kevin Atkinson's image clone code) to do real-time face substitution. Think about the fidelity of this kind of thing in five or so years.

Perfect Match Fit Update

Updated Perfect Match Fit with six more matches this morning on the train. The game's up to 66 matches. Doing these small 40x40 icons aren't so bad and it really gets me back in the mood for some work on the morning train ride.

As a random tidbit of fun "behind the scenes" knowledge, I did the burger icons because I was watching the season premiere of Bob's Burgers at the same time. Who doesn't love Coach McGuirk? Paula. She doesn't love him.

In other news, the following video was sent my way this morning and it's one of the funniest things I've seen/heard in a very long time:

YouTube Thursday!

I made it up. I may or may not post YouTube videos on Thursdays.

If you are a fan of Don Hertzfeldt and his macabre "stick toons" (they're not really stick people, I suppose), then you'll enjoy this one. I don't mind recycled animation as long as it helps set the tone of the story. The tone set in this story was very full of tone. I lack better words to describe it.

If you haven't seen the original Double Dream Hands, then for shame. If you have, then this is a delicious mashup, properly representing the awesomeness of Planet Rock.

Cutest Cat Video Ever.

I would've done the same thing.

Listening to: Nothing.

To be completely honest, what happens at the end? I would've done the same thing.

New Video - Pen Drawer

Listening to: Nothing.

When I was growing up, my family always had a drawer full of pens. The silly thing was that most of the pens didn't work. The sillier thing was that my parents would never throw away any of those pens.

New Video - Rice Bowls

Listening to: Nothing.

Growing up With Mr. Shen - Rice Bowls from Alexander Shen on Vimeo.

In in effort to spice things up, I decided to do a video for today's Awkward Reference "comic". It's like a comic, but with sounds and incredibly crude animation.

True story.
