Dot Dot Dot. A (Beautifully Funny) Typographical Motion Graphic Video of a Game Review

admin — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 04:27:14 +0000

I find this video entertaining for three reasons…. Funny because of the way the game was reviewed, including all the splendour of wrong spellings and anger. Entertaining because of the voice over and the way the narrator articulated the gist of the review. Lastly, beautiful and very well thought out animation and the typographical treatment.

Well done.

P.S. Those wondering what the video is about, read below for the chronology, excerpted from the YouTube video’s info section.

May, 18, 2009 : Super PSTW Action RPG is released by Rhete
February, 3, 2010 : Axman13 reviews Super PSTW
February, 4, 2010 : Dot Dot Dot (narration of Axman’s review) by D-Mac-Double
January, 6, 2011 : Ricepirate animates Dot Dot Dot

In an age where the anonymous reviewer is held to no general standard of grammar or spelling, an intelligible trolling rant is a common and often eye-rolling occurrence. And when a game is meant as a parody of its genre, and a player playing it doesn’t quite get the joke … well, magic happens.

But the real triumph, is when an epic voice actor decides to perform a run-of-the-mill game review rant … committing to all it’s grammatical belligerence…

The original Newgrounds review:
—————————————-————
i reley dont wan to say this, but i have to now.
this game is so esey. i mean, all you do is hit the spacebar. thats it! how is this an RPG anyway? you cant contrail anything but what it says on the screen! what if i didnt want to buy the potion? what apout quests? all you can upgrade is stranth? there is no way you can lose to the boss at the end! this game is crap! its not even an RPG at all! i mean look at it! in what way is this supposed to be an RPG if you can do quests and stuff? all you do is press one butten the entier time! explain to me! the athore coments al totol lies! is it supposed to be stick dudes? i dont even know how this damn game got the daily 3rd prize, or a rating of 4.26!
pepole think this review is worthles.
go ahead! say it! i dont care! im just trying to make a point here!
blam this piece of crap!!!!

P.S the only reson im giving this a 1 is beacuase the voices where pretty good. but thats it!

Online. Viral. Videos. They Aren’t What They Used To Be. Here’s a Case from Doritos Late Night Channel. Full 360º Videos.

admin — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 08:45:09 +0000

Branded online videos are not what they used to be. First to go; cheap hand-held mobile video camera shot on extremely low budgets even amateur videographers smirk at. Second to go, 30 secs TVCs conveniently uploaded into video channels as if these TVCs are eye-ball grabbers. Replaced by beautifully shot epic-length videos that are either extended versions or director’s (viral video) cuts that can last as long as two or several more minutes. And lastly, that looked to be topped by full-on by full-motion 360º immersion videos. Click-on screenshot below to be taken to Dorito’s Late Night YouTube channel that showcases (for now) a few music videos shot in 360º.

Mighty impressive. And this was just 2010. What will we see in 2011?

Symbian Still Leads in Mobile OS Usage

Which means that despite all the talk about Blackberries and iPhones leading in market share, Nokia (the most common of all devices running Symbian OS’es) still leads based on the collective share of users in Asia, South America and Africa. Emerging nations.

Web Design 101: When Imitation Isn’t At All Flattery

Dear web designers, developers, client, owners and especially politicians. While it is nice to look at a benchmark and tell yourself you’d like to have a site very similar to it, it’s simply not nice to copy the design straight out. Thanks @baliomega for this gem of a discovery.

The Secret Truth About Executing Great Ideas [Video]

admin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 05:32:41 +0000

“Almost all innovative ideas appear obvious after the fact”

In this inspirational video, Frans Johansson, CEO and author of the book The Medici Effect talks about, and illustrates, the relentless trial-and-error of all great ideas. How it must all start from simple and small, and then going through the process of refining it over and over until it becomes great.

Refining through trial-and-error, the distinguishing character of greatest artists, scientists, entrepreneurs and innovators. This is a long video, but most definitely is worth the wait.

Smart and Very Simple Outdoor Advertising from DRAFTFCB New Zealand

admin — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 06:31:32 +0000

Have to admit that this is a pretty smart, a possibly a very effectively cost efficient, billboard advertising. Again, from our counterparts in DRAFTFCB New Zealand; who in my humble opinion churns out extremely good outdoor work year after year.

(DRAFTFCB New Zealand was also responsible for the really creative WEEDS outdoor campaign done some years back. I’ll try to dig up some videos of the work and post it here soon.)

While in itself the idea isn’t new, and we’ve probably seen it a similar one before in the form of movie theatre mastheads, it’s the execution that makes it different and new. Enjoy.
