Freeskiing: “Being There” CLIP
BEING THERE – FIELD PRODUCTIONS from Field Productions on Vimeo.
While I’m sweating it out everyday in Hong Kong, it’s snow time in the southern hemisphere! I’m hoping to get to Queenstown, New Zealand sometime in August for a heli-board if I can get away from work for week. I came across this clip for ‘Being There’ and even though I snowboard. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a ski or board video as long as there’s a good soundtrack over the top. It get’s me pumped! This is for all my snow pals in Australia and New Zealand.
“With some of the best skiers within all aspects of modern freeskiing, and a passionate film crew equipped with the best of HD cameras, this movie will both thrill and amaze you. Along side amazing action shots and mind blowing scenery, this movie will give you a behind the scenes look at the production itself.”

Tree Hotel in Harads – Sweden
I love these designs and has inspired me to build my own one day or at least go to Sweden to experience the tree-top hotel room by Swedish architects Cyrén & Cyrén. You access the room via a bridge leading from the hilly forest to an entrance on the roof. The Cabin hangs from the trees and has a roof terrace overlooking the forest.This project is one of five rooms of the Tree Hotel in Harads, northern Sweden.

‘Paranormal Activity 3’ Trailer
I was surprised when I saw they’re was going to be a third follow up to the footage-style Paranormal Activity movies. This time we return to the year 1988 when Katie and Krista are children to reveal the reason behind the demonic force that was tormenting them. You see the two girls chanting Bloody Mary which might be a clue. I love a good scary movie and I’ll admit the first one made me sh#t my pants, but I’m not holding my breath on this.

Nujabes Documentary: An Eternal Soul Trailer
An Eternal Soul Trailer (Nujabes Documentary) from Abe Spiegel on Vimeo.
Here’s a preview trailer of an upcoming film which documents the late great Japanese producer known as Nujabes. I first heard about him when animation Samurai Champloo came out. (It’s still one of my all time favourite Japanese cartoons) The documentary talks about breaking barriers and innovating new techniques and sound elements. Join the official facebook page to find out when it drops. I will post some of his tracks in the next few days.

Lions Loungin’
This is not a retouched photo. I repeat. This is not a retouched photo.
Taken in June this year during a game drive at Nakuru National Park in Kenya. Rounding a bend on the track I came upon not one but seven of these magnificent young lions draped across the branches of an Acacia tree. What a privilege for me to have witnessed this amazing moment. Photograph by Mrs. Wai Chun Turnbull.

Steampunk Artwork
So what is ‘Steampunk’ you ask?
Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history, and speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s. Specifically, steampunk involves an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britain—that incorporates prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy.
The illustrations remind me of the machinery you find in Studio Ghibli movie ie. Howl’s Moving Castle.

Stussy recently released a series of videos featured within the brand’s World Tour back in 2006. This collection of artists are some of the first guys to create the collaborative movement between street art and corporate companies. It’s bitter sweet to hear their stories of how they started out and how ‘mainstream’ has changed the game for good and bad. Worth a watch.
