Just watched this lovely 'making of' film for Leica via @hutchyaaronJust overwhelming craftsmanship on show - with a beautiful end product. This is why Steve Jobs would always refer to a Leica camera as a benchmark of beautiful design, fit and finish.
I love the way it's been shot too - just a series of simple close ups, very unassuming. Just showing in (extreme) detail each and every element coming together. Craftsmanship porn.
Great new piece from Everynone, about anything round shaped, or more specifically ball shaped.
I don't know what's more impressive - the feat of researching, collating and editing all the images together so beautifully or the gorgeous sound design, seamlessly moving through all the sonic landscapes that are associated with these shapes.
Animade, an animation company I'm a big fan of, just brought out some very cool idents for a Ukranian children's TV channel. Just so simple, cute, funny and a real sense of playfulness. I wish I could watch that kids tv channel!
I have to wait a few more weeks to see The Dark Knight Rises, so Batman is playing on my mind.
Here's a great little collection of some of the best Batman signs, nicely laid out too.

And here's a little animation I saw a while back showing how they've evolved through time.

Here's the first official trailer (after the two insanely great teasers) of The Master, from Paul Thomas Anderson.
This looks brilliant, but I can't help feel that this full trailer doesn't live up to the first teaser. That individual scene with a confused and almost naive Joaquin Phoenix being interviewed/interrogated was so visceral, generating so much mood with so little, was just breathtaking. It was always going to be hard to live up to that.
