Toyota iQ “Nimble As A Mouse” Campaign

June 7th, 2010  |  Published in Technology  |  Comment

Cool campaign by Toyota iQ.

“To demonstrate the agility of the compact Toyota iQ, the car was turned into a mouse. This meant it was able move a cursor on a giant screen and operate a desktop computer.

Before a live audience the Toyota iQ did all the things a normal mouse does, just on a much larger scale.”

Here is the video.

Check out the behind-the-scenes.

Quicksilver Shelf Plugin – My First Screencast

July 3rd, 2009  |  Published in Technology  |  2 Comments

As I was trying to kill time, I was researching Quicksilver extendability other than just quick-launching apps. Yes, I know Spotlight does it from the get-go.

My search led to a Lifehacker.com article (as usual, with this kind of things) written a while back about Gina Trapani’s Top 10 Quicksilver Plugins (at the time: November 2007). One of the plugins that intrigued me to check out was the Shelf module/plugin.

Dope Music Video by ApSci – “Under Control”

June 10th, 2009  |  Published in Music  |  Comment

I first heard about ApSci[1] through my brother Glen recently. Then dug in to take a look on their site for some tunes, http://apsci.net.

Lo and behold, they’ve been featured on Wired.com’s Underwire section just recently. The article was about their music video for “Under Control”.

The dope part is that it was produced using an “iPhone, a portable printer and a webcam.”

They performed the track in front of the webcam and printed it up into the handheld snapshots that fly by in the globe-hopping video, which hopscotches from Brooklyn to the Grand Canyon, Vegas, Hawaii and Australia at the speed of sound. They took additional shots using the iPhone, then mashed the production nightmare into an eye-tripping visual for their body-rocking song.

In other words, ApSci’s video has no video in it. No post-production either.

Very, very schneaky and creative I must say. Well done. Here’s the video.
