At first I though this was a very bad music video with a shoddy aspect ratio. However, beyond the first five seconds lies a song about hope, dedicated to everybody effected by the tsunami in Japan earlier this year.
Made as a collaboration between Google and Pilobolus, a Connecticut-based company of choreographers and dancer-athletes. The video even has the worlds first dance messenger, as well as a bunch of behind the scenes videos.
Ok Go manage to continuously pull off one baffling move after another. When the feet slowly transform into the lyrics, I dare you not to do your best Senator Clay Davis.

Grace Hawthorne is taking it back, way back like playschool with her Paper Punks – do it yourself – paper models.
A great example of how the simplest ideas can be the best, the flat pack kits come with instructions and stickers to make your own 3D robot, dog or car, the kit is based upon geometric shapes to build and create.
It’s an educational tool that will hopefuly get kids using their dexterity and imagination particularly at a time where moving the Wii console is considered as a form of exercise.
I’ve spotted Paper Punks on a few design blogs so it seems to be attracting big and little kids alike.
Logorama is an animated visual bombardment made up of a hectic display of brand logo’s. Every single item, from the characters to the backdrop are created from companies logos. The story follows two cops (Michelin Men) hunting down the crazed outlaw (Ronald McDonald). I was constantly suprised by the cleverness and dedication that this must have taken to create such brilliant work.
The animation was created by H5 a French graphics and animation company. Here’s what they had to say on it…
“Logorama presents us with an over-marketed world built only from logos and real trademarks that are destroyed by a series of natural disasters (including an earthquake and a tidal wave of oil). Logotypes are used to describe an alarming universe (similar to the one that we are living in) with all the graphic signs that accompany us everyday in our lives. This over-organized universe is violently transformed by the cataclysm becoming fantastic and absurd. It shows the victory of the creative against the rational, where nature and human fantasy triumph.”
