This short film by Adam Berg was created to show off the new Philips Cinema 21:9 LCD TV. As you may have guessed from the name, the new Philips TV shows films in a 21:9 aspect ratio without showing any letterboxing at the top and bottom.
Created entirely by Stink Digital, this new interactive campaign promotes Philips’ latest entrant into the television market, the CINEMA 21:9. Since the television’s 21:9 frame lends itself so readily to film, our friends at Tribal DDB, Amsterdam commissioned us to create a piece of filmed content that could hold its own with Hollywood’s best. Director Adam Berg responded with an idea for an epic ‘frozen moment’ cops and robbers shootout sequence that included clowns, explosions, a decimated hospital, and plenty of broken glass and bullet casings.
The Detroit News has a very sad and disturbing story of urban decay and indifference that will shock you. The image above is actually of a dead body frozen and forgotten in a block of ice inside the well of a cargo elevator at the Roosevelt Warehouse. [via]
The Roosevelt Warehouse is a former Detroit Public School book repository that’s been controversial in the past for literally letting many books and supplies rot and waste away while many of Detroit’s school children had no money for supplies.
The image above is an all-encompassing look at just how terrible conditions have gotten in Detroit where even a human body will be left unreported and unattended to for about a month! From the article, it seems as if there’s a general lack of care for the city and its citizens and this formula of indifference certainly spells disaster for what used to be one of the major metropolitan cities in America.
But seriously, it is that one picture above that would move me to action. How can a city and its people get to such a point that even a fellow man is considered indistinguishable from the rubbish around him?
The BBC is showing the public how a frozen pizza is made by giving an exclusive look into the innards of a frozen pizza factory. [via]
It’s amazing that 2 million frozen pizzas a week roll out of this factory with so little human involvement. Almost everything here is literally handled by machines, essentially allowing for the making of pizzas 24/7! I doubt the factory is open 24/7, but man, if it was, Ireland would be buried in pizza!
Also, the image below of sausages was very funny because they were waving around like they were excited or something. Watch the video, you’ll know what I mean.
Improv Everywhere’s latest stunt involved 207 agents all freezing in place at the exact same moment inside Grand Central Station for a whole 5 minutes. At precisely 2:30PM, the agents involved froze in the exact positions they were in and remained that way until 2:35PM.
The video above is just wild. It’s so weird to see a place like Grand Central just literally frozen in time.
