Cinescape + Filmography 2011

Two awesome video compilations by Matt Shapiro, “2011: The Cinescape” and from Anschluss Genrocks “Filmography 2011" recap the year in motion movies. Perfectly mixed and sound made both videos please.

The Cinescape 2011 “2011: The Cinescape recaps the year in film with some outstanding editing as well as excellent voiceover placement, making this one of that you just have to watch”

Filmography 2011 “A 230-film retrospective that celebrates this year’s movies and their amazing capacity to transport us through the boundaries of space, time, and identity.”

The Pencil Sharpener Ventilator

We love the nonsense and hence the sense of an object demonstrated by Mathias Nösel, a young art director from Germany. Together with friends they gave a new life to old grandpa's fan and breathe a new function of a pencil sharpener in it. Simple, clean and fun idea makes our day.
