Google News - Launch Video

Beautifully animated video to educate users on google news. Very cute.

Animation Hotline

Every day, Dustin Grella is animating one voicemail from his answering machine. Users can ring him up to leave a message. Great example of Urgent Genius.

I’m Comic Sans Asshole!

All typographers hate it. Now it’s Comic Sans to have his say. He’s Comic Sans asshole, and he’s here to stay.

Archrival Viral Video

A sweet video to show off the agnecies culture. Loving the slow motion. Plus, they slap someone with a sausage, what more could you want from a video? The outtake I have is that his agency looks fun to work for. Great vid guys. Keep up the good work.

Check out their work here.

The world is obsessed with Facebook

Great video by motion graphics designer Alex Trimpe. I knew the world was going nuts for the largest social network, but some of these stats are staggering. Like there are currently 500 million people on Facebook and 48% of 18 to 34 year olds check their feed as the first thing they do. Whatever happened to having a coffee to kick-start the day?

Everything is a remix.

Awesome documentary sent to me by @marshameredith. If you have 7 minutes to kill, you could do a lot worse than watch this. Will be looking forward to parts 3 and 4 coming later in the year.
