You know how we’ve all wanted to meet more people in our dream industry? Whether it be potential collaborators to expand our personal networks, or to just talk shop. If you’re into cinema, this event is for you. In support of an ambitious film being shot this summer, we’re promoting a ‘Scorsese’ titled event. Let’s [...]

Allo allo! And thank you all for your continued support during those droughts we sometimes experience here at the Carbon/Nation/SplashFantastic HQ!
This was linked off my Twitter account the other day, and in the spirit of superiffic 3D music videos which melt our minds, I decided it was worth posting. Oh, and it’s a beautiful song, [...]

Last year approximately 40,000+ brave souls headed for the black rock desert to participate in the annual cultural spectacle known as Burning Man. Each year a unique theme is chosen to help guide artists, musicians, performers and on-lookers in crafting a week long festival of original experience. Not quite a music festival, not [...]

I was recently introduced to this simple but incredibly engaging concept by a friend studying visual / cultural anthropology. Though not particularly new I still felt it worth sharing for those like myself that haven’t seen it yet. The premise as stated by the website is this:
Go to a place. Ask fifty people [...]

I like to inhale chocolate as much as the next person, but to actually “inhale” (quotes & suggested air quotes) is an entirely different story. Taking this literal approach to inhaling food is a new product from Le Lelaboratoire called LeWhif.
Le Whif is a new way of eating chocolate – by breathing it! Imagine, chocolate [...]

I like when we happen upon artists that are still keepin’ it real in Canada.  To be honest I’m not entirely sure what the phrase “keepin’ it real” means, but I’m sure Jonathan Bergeron is indeed doing just that.  Bergeron was born, raised and continues to reside in beautiful Montreal (Chuck go find this man!).  [...]

I think its safe to say that we all need a little happiness right now (is it ever not that time?).  Through my early morning interweb meanderings, I came across something that just might do the trick.  Enter Mr. Charles Spearin; founding member of Broken Social Scene and Do Make Say Think.  Spearin and his [...]

Bathtub IV from Keith Loutit on Vimeo.
The only thing screwed up about these time lapse tilt-shift videos is that they’re real. It’s quite the amazing technique, and in this case coupled with such gorgeous cinematography. The only thing I wish for is to have Keith compose a video to one of my songs. Someday… Someday…

The 60’s were sure a grüvin’ time. Nope, I wasn’t alive in the 60’s, nor the 70’s, but I sure do miss them in a I-need-a-time-machine kind of way.
The sad thing is, I don’t think the monorails employed in ‘67 are still around anymore. In fact, there isn’t too much remaining from those days. Even [...]

Here’s a short film shot around Alberta to lighten your day. Hopefully it does the trick to put you in the right mood. Also, check out Brett’s other film Up In Flight.
