The game industry is really pushing 3d animation forward. This is hardly new to anyone. But I thought the release of the new WOW would be a nice excuse to show a couple of examples of what you can do, with the right budget and the right creative talent. I will most likely only be playing the last of the three. The art direction is excellent and innovative. Hats off.
And this is just a fraction of what is out there.
World of Warcraft
Sonic the Hedgehog
Price of Persia
I know…I Really need to grow up.

This is nothing but brilliant! Take one of the most mesmerizing voices in danish television and film history Jørgen Leth. Blend it with the musical genius of Mikael Simpson and finally ask the talented film score producer Frithjof Toksvig to polish and perfect the mood of it all, and then you have it. The best Spoken Word I’ve heard since Dan Türell’s post mortem release almost 10 years ago… Can’t remember it’s name now… Anyway, this release is so much more than Spoken Word.
Give it a listen and let me know what you think? Am I biased here by prior releases from these people, or am I right about it being brilliant?
Album title: “Vi sidder bare her” - Jørgen Leth, Mikael Simpson, Frithjof Toksvig

The danish magazine ENTER, aimed at creatives and design professionals is out now, and woohuu: It features a long and really nice article about STUPID Studio and the stuff we do. That’s just really really great. Read the entire article in the webmagazine version! (jump to page 32…)

Kodak have made this brilliant website where you can make your own super funny super dude video. It’s retro and gives me great flash back to the 70ties where I wasn’t really born (but I feel like I know it from all the 70ties movies and series I’ve seen!).
When you have uploaded your own face-picture and placed it in a frame the video (check my own video out here) is being produced and you can send it to all your friends. Afterwards you can order accessories like posters and coffeemugs with the SuperDude-graphics (which I of course have done already).

Designers did their part to get people to the polls during the election in the United States.
AIGA (the professional association for design) invited designers from across the nation to create nonpartisan posters and YouTube submissions that would inspire the American public to participate in the electoral process and vote for a presidential candidate in the 2008 general election.
You can see all 319 contributors here, the 24 selected posters here and the videos here.

This is sand thanks to some incredible flash programming. Try it, but make sure you set an alarm if you have other tings you need to accomplish today. Now one thing is the creative actionscripting another thing is the creative use of “thisissand”. Go and see the gallery and choose sort by view count.

About a year ago, I stumbled upon these new design suggestions for our currency bills and at first I really liked them and downloaded a copy to my inspirations folder. Today they popped up again, and I couldn’t help thinking - once again - that a design like this would add some sparkle to all the business being done out there. I don’t know if they could last for another 50 years though….
(I can’t remember the name of the designer, so if you know, please tell me, so he/she can get some credit here)

I like when companies are going new ways to get my attention by really using the media and pushin’ the limits.
Mentos have done that with their new campaign site Mentos Kiss Cam. You must try it like I’ve just done. If someone have seen me kissing the screen of my laptop they would have thought I way some kind of a weirdo…..

The American presidential election is less than two weeks away, and the race has become even more intense. The battle is being fought on several fronts, and because of the 24 hour news circle, even the smallest piece of news about the candidates, surface in the danish media. When comparing the two candidates campaigns, from a graphic perspective, there is no doubt that Republicans has played it safe and made the same conservative campaign as usual. But the Democrats has made a bold and fresh campaign, and it really gets the message of change across to the voters. It made me think about the presidential campaigns before and now, and about how creativity can make a difference. I stumbled over this little tune and video by MC YOGI and I think it’s a nice way to use graphics to support the message (Pro Obama).
Also be sure to have look at this “register-to-vote-celebrity-style-infomercial”. It’s a simple idea, and it’s executed quite well. They actually spend one third of the time telling you NOT to vote.

6 months and 7 workshops followed up by a horrifying high amount of coffee and croissants has now been determined into a 32 pages rapport and handed over to the folks at Mediasyd in Vejle. The creative communication agency Mediasyd needed a identity-brush-up and a closer look at their culture, competences and customers and asked us to be in charge of the process. Not as one of those ordinary consulting and coaching-agencies your feeding pigs with these days but as a creative partner who know something about making campaigns and design.
The goal for us was to give Mediasyd the tools and knowledge to make a plan that will bring them up to date in todays maze of creativity and communication. So we hooked up with Asger Fredslund from Siriuspartner and gave the good old company a decent stir through a bunch of workshops and as you can see daring challenges.
And according to the smiles and grunting sounds we assume we have done something right;-)
What the plan is going to be and what happens to Mediasyd in the time to come is still a secret and we would have to kill you if we told! But something interesting is going on these days and we will follow it closely!

TV 2 Zulu has just gone through a complete overhaul. The presentation design is completely new, the sound design has been tweaked and optimized and they have created a bunch of new crazy idents. Well done! (
Thanks to Fryd for the preview.)

Enter. New and upcoming talents at show at Kunsthallen Brandts. The exhibition is a new platform for young and talented artists in contemporary art.
During the last ten years galleries and collectors have to some degree concentrated mainly on the very young artists. Therefore the market have turned out to be of great matter for the success of the young artists. With the exhibition Enter the art institution Brandts contributes to an alternative and supplementing platform that comments the market, which in doing so, will determine the agenda for artistic success.
The exhibition will open next thursday, and you can see some of the contributing artists here (It’s the press section, but what the heck! I couldn’t find any pics on the exhibition page)

The Japanese comic-book phenomenon manga has a fascinating global appeal today, with millions of comic books sold month after month. In the exhibition Manga! Japanese Images, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art builds on this fascination and at the same time highlights the art-historical and cultural context.
The Louisiana’s manga-exhibition shows how Japanese contemporary art relates to the phenomenon manga. But manga is more than comics and contemporary art and at STUPID Studio we like the Animé films which is manga’s animated counterpart. Of course there are a lot of fine japanese Animé film but Denmark is also doing some nice pieces like Princess by Anders Morgenthaler.

This is not stupid
Generally, old media don't die. They just have to grow old gracefully. Guess what, we still have stone masons. They haven't been the primary purveyors of the written word for a while now of course, but they still have a role because you wouldn't want a TV screen on your headstone.
