Exploring the ways in which artists, artisans and technicians are intelligently expressing their creativity with a passion for culture, technology, marketing and advertising.
Last year we shared the trailer and some background on the documentary PressPausePlay. You can now watch the whole film below, or visit their website to dowload an interactive version that further explores the themes of the movie. It is full of thought-provocking interviews with some of the world's most influential creators of the digital era.
The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent in an unprecedented way, with unlimited opportunities. But does democratized culture mean better art or is true talent instead drowned out? This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with some of the world's most influential creators of the digital era. www.presspauseplay.com @presspauseplay Facebook: http://on.fb.me/y4gEK1 If you like the film you can support us by rating it on IMDB - http://imdb.to/jUqhFn.

It all started with YouTube user crazedadman organizing his bookcase.
This weekend we decided to organize the bookcase. It got a little out of hand.
Then he and his wife "took it to the next level" by spending many nights with many volunteers stacking, moving and animating books at Type bookstore in Toronto. Part short film, part passionate love letter to books, and part commercial, all the books shown are available for purchase at the store.
Everything you see here can be purchased at Type Books.
You can't do that with Kindles, Nooks or iPads.
This commercial isn't real, neither are society's standards of beauty. Follow on twitter.com/JesseRosten
Filmmaker and commercial director Jesse Rosten created the parody commercial for Fotoshop by Adobé, which is a humorous and satirical look at “society’s standards of beauty” and the beauty industry.
This is so very spot on. Brilliant satire.
The opening sequence for David Fincher's version of Stieg Larsson's "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," created by Venice, Calif.-based Blur Studio is a mix of live animation with abstract imagery and visual metaphor, all set to the haunting sound of Karen O and Trent Reznor's cover of "Immigrant Song."
Conceptualized by Blur CD Tim Miller and Fincher, the brief was to simply make a title sequence that dashed all expectations of what any opening credits should look like. The story of the trilogy is told in the two-and-a-half minute sequence, through imagery from the books, such as a tattoo, a pressed flower, a wasp and things bursting into flame. The sequence was shot through 26 different vignettes, each telling a separate story, which were then shuffled and played out in a non-linear way.Built in CG with a multitude of different angles, the sequence also uses scans of the actors in the movie. Finally, black ooze was placed into every scene, unifying the sequence.
Besides being the director of some iconic films, Fincher is also behind some fantastic opening title sequences including Se7en, Fight Club, and Panic Room. I love a good opening title sequence.
