Google’s Re: Brief project gives a nice look into the question ‘is the media really the message?’.

Knowing the neutrino’s made it in the right time, puts time travel a bit further in the future then we hoped. Maybe that is why Snoop dog’s decided that his performance with an old friend should be made possible with a mix of digital techniques. Not less impressive tho.
It seems Chewbacca made it to MIT and learned them a trick or two. So how does it work? How do we visualize a photon in flight. Have a look!
Anytime soon we’ll be shooting objects in lightspeed. Hello Millenium Falcon.
I have joined the ranks at Caporalfilms in Paris. A paris based production company that concentrates on transmediale / new media approach to commercial and fashion film.
After two decades Berlin is trying to tear down yet another wall. Berliners can now participate in their own thriller, ‘The Witness’, this film event turns viewers into actors. Helping them to create their own version of a preset story while on a search through the city.
Through use of an iPhone they view the small films, clues to the plot, and create their own truth out of the offered choices. Coming to your town soon? Hopefully.
We are starting to slide into the depths of the D’s. The 3D in the 2D with all the new screens and stereo-optics spectacles. But now we are capturing the 4D or the Plenoptics.
In a film the focus points the viewer’s attention towards what is important for the story. Plenoptics could make films more interactive. One shot could hold several stories. Revealed only when brought in focus. Creating scenes that you as a viewer can investigate. This way, for example, each character in a film could have their personal lead story. Their point of view. A murder mystery film could have a sideline. Like a puzzle that viewers can unlock when they shift the focus in the film. Just imagine something like “focus shifting glasses” in the cinema. Shifting the focus to where your eyes go.
But I can also see a music video in which we explore shots of Lady Gaga’s body by shifting the focus ourselves. For now we will have to settle for the first Plenoptics stop motion animation I guess.
Daniel is a storyteller by heart. As a director he aims to create work that brings us into a realm of ‘Fantastic Realism’. His stories are layered with thoughts and things, large and little, whimsical, wretched and wonderful, that we normally wouldn’t see or associate with in our daily lives.
Sometimes it’s a world in which funny inanimate objects burst to life in front of little girls and where kaleidoscopic colored creatures roam the streets. The kind of fringe reality found mostly in dreams. At other times it’s reality lifted up by a touch of magic, creating hovering, longing and lingering images of striking beauty. The sweet dreams that perfumes are made of.
His world is one of visceral beauty seen through the eyes of someone drugged with years of toxic heavy metal music and staring at vapid album covers.
His stories are his crafts. He brings them into life through music videos, commercials, interactive and even pieces where the digital meets the physical, such as a floating holographic installation.
Daniel Nogueira’s work has been numerously awarded, winning Promax and Epica awards and receiving nominations from ADCN.
Clients include Sony, ABN-AMRO, Bacardi, Guess, MTV and Orange.
