Helvetica drop clock screensaver

April 17th, 2008 by hobart65

Another piece of visual evidence to support that truism - everything just looks more cool in slowmo. The digirati in the studio have had this one on their desktopa for weeks, but it occurred to me how amazing that camera / phone manufactures haven’t latched onto this. How many hi-end phones / camera / camcorders can capture stuff at ridiculous frame rates? Answers please, as i’d like to buy one so I can make my own series of ephemera screen savers.

Superb video passed on by Nick in the NY office. Thanks Nick. Thought it was going to be a Golden Cage type affair from the first frame but how wrong could I be.

Top of the Pops editors from 1985 were weeping whilst watching that.

Here’s the Golden Cage video as well. Just because I think it’s good:

Lord Puttnam interview with Mike Williams - Episode 1

Here’s Part 1 of an interview I did with Lord Puttnam recently as part of a podcast series for the Creative Social. Lord Puttnam started out in the ad industry golden age, but has returned to ad land as Chairman of a digital agency Profero. Six months into the role, it seemed a good time to ask him why.
The interview has been edited down to five shorts topics that will be released over the next fives days on the Creative Social Blog and PSFK.

I hope you enjoy them, and if you have any suggestions on who might be an interesting person for the Creative Social to approach, please let me know.

Lastly, big thanks to Daniele Fiandaca (Profero COO) for making this interview possible.
