There’s a camera trick called tilt-shift that I know nothing about other than it makes real-life things appear to be toys. As BlogTO posted earlier today, Belarussian band has used this technology for a music video – but what makes it super cool is its representations of Niagara Falls and the Maid of the Mist and its heaps of scenes from Toronto – Chinatown, the Waterfront, the train tracks near Union Station, the highway/condo corridor. I think they even use a clip from a marathon – which means I might be in this cool looking vid.
On Kickstarter, you can invest in a project to replace the N-word with “robot” in Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The project has already doubled its original fundraising goal. I think the super awesome “Robot Jim” figurine you get with a $50 pledge is DEFINITELY helping their cause.
