Illuminated

The video on the first page of this site looks amazing. It's a teaser for a story in which people have lost the ability to dream, and so other people dream for them. There's a cute anime-styled heroine, a lot of cool motion graphics, and some very colorful and interesting 3D. Digging a little deeper into the site, you can find that this is being developed as a series. I'd watch it! Thanks to Bryan for the link.

Do's and Dont's with Babies.

First time parents may often be a little overwhelmed at the thought of taking care of an infant. Fortunately for them, this site has several handy do's and dont's about babies. Topics range from "buckling up baby," to "choosing a babysitter," to even "making the baby smile". Thanks to Reuben for the link.

Crap Movie Comics presents Cloverfield

Here is a really funny take on the movie Cloverfield. I saw the site at work when someone sent me an email titled "Cloverfield, without the motion sickness." If you haven't seen the movie yet, it probably won't ruin it for you, but it also won't make a lot of sense. For the record, I've seen the movie and enjoyed it quite a bit, but this is still hilarious, because it's mostly true.

Sleeveface Pool Slideshow

Here's a really cool thing that it seems like a whole bunch of people are doing. They just match up albums so the picture on the cover extends to something in the surrounding photo. Sometimes faces go on to bodies, but in the more creative ones there are props used and shots seemingly caught in mid-action. Very cool.

Jeff de Boer

Here is some amazing art from Jeff de Boer. The first gallery I saw when I came in was one having to do with hand crafted armor for cats and mice. Very cool and imaginative. (It looks like the makings of an animated epic there ever were!) Looking around, you can see some cool stuff like giants statues and steampunkish space gear. Nice work, Jeff.

Lasagna Cat

This is a truly weird one: Garfield strips acted out in live action. After each one there's a music video tribute to Jim Davis and his creation. The song for the video I took the thumbnail from was "Ebony and Ivory." Like I said it's weird, but it's not bad. Big thanks go to Brian W. for the link.

Hulk Out List

The other day someone at work came across this list of every reason why David Banner ever hulked out in the Hulk TV show. It's amazing. The reasons range from "8. Being mauled by a bear" to "48. Helping Ray Walston out with a magic trick by allowing himself to be chained up and put in a tank of water, only to find that drunk Ray has forgotten to leave the escape key inside the tank."

Jay-Zeezer

Here's a cool mash-up of Jay Z and Weezer. The guy admittedly doesn't have much experience mashing up, but his story of how this helped him appreciate rap music is interesting. Definitely check it out.

Cadbury Dairy Milk

Here's a really entertaining commercial for Cadbury something or other. I didn't really pay that much attention to the actual product, but I really like the ad itself. It takes a while to pick up, but when it does...rocking!

Robert Morgan - The Cat With Hands

Here is a really cool short with a creepy nightmarish feel. It's got a cool blend of live action and animation. You can read a little bit about the inspiration for this along with the reason for the time it took to complete the short, which was a year. That stuff is all secondary, though, because the real action is in the clip itself. Freaky-deaky! Thanks to Angie for the link
