Batman Has Contacted Me

So yesterday I ran into an old acquaintance that I haven’t seen in 10 years.  She recognized the name of one of my friends who used to throw parties, about 10 years ago.  I told her that my old buddy is now living in Australia and that I missed his inspiration.

When I returned home, I started looking up animation stuff and came across a short animation with Batman, which lead to this great Javascript driven website which has inspired me to use JavaScript on my current project.

I went to bed shortly after reading an email from a life-coaching friend who stressed the importance of working collaboratively.  “…life is a team sport and to get to the Superbowl we need a lot of support from many different avenues.”, she said.

In my sleep I thought of my buddy in Australia…  and, little did I know, at that same moment, he was typing up an email.  I haven’t heard from him in about 3 months, yet the next morning, I read his email where he was asking me to help with a visual effect he wants to do, which is practically identical to an effect I have been playing with for months. This was the day I planned on diving into 3D to tackle it. His email has provided me with additional motivation to get things moving again.

As a cherry on top, he finished his email by tagging it with “Batman” as his signature.  Heh.

Music Video Collaboration

A friend of mine recently posted this Ted Talk video of Eric Whitacre’s virtual choir of 2,000 voices. The beginning of the first song presented sent chills up my spine. I find it eerie and beautiful how there can be so many voices, singing in unison, yet none of them have ever met face-to-face (for the most part).

Click here for the uncut version of the choir (1.0).

It reminded me of these two other videos.

The first video contains clips that were hand picked from Youtube, and put together into a melody.

This music video doesn’t contain musical collaboration like the previous two videos, but the clever use of video (Brady Bunch style) pushed me to mention it here. Similar enough for me!

Dear internet, you truly are an endless glass of liquid potential.
