Mice, Birds And Two Mirrors

Following my last post about symmetry and mirrors and patterns and kaleidoscopes.. well I couldn't have found a better post to follow it with! Found this on the today and tomorrow blog.

Mirrored Videos

I like patterns, and I like symmetry, so it's no surprise that I like it when videos of shapes are reflected into a kinda kaleidoscope video. Great. The first minute is the best, but then the music drops and the rest fits the music really well. Fave bit other than the start minute is the clouds.

Merry Christmas Ya'll

So right now I'm in work and the Christmas Carols have been cranked up, I watched Elf on the weekend and had my yearly winter trip to the seaside where I ate like Henry the Eighth.. basically I'm feeling pretty Christmassy right now! And to top it all WHAM just came on the work jukebox! I've just seen this youtube vid on the today and tomorrow blog. Very nice!

Merry Christmas Ya'll, x

I came across this video through a ffffound hunt which linked me to a site by the name of Raketenblog which itself is very nice, it's just a shame I don't understand it at all cos its all in German! Full of good links though. The video and art is created by Erik Natzke, who from what I have read creates the majority of his work through ActionScript 3.0. There's a nice image of a quote by him, here. Turns out Erik was at Flash On The Beach this year, I'm a bit annoyed that I missed him, hopefully next year! I think I'd like to meet Erik and steal his brain while he's not looking. Erik if you ever read this get in touch!
Check out his personal site, for a good look at his playtime work.
