Canstruction Threepeat with PicniCantics

March 3, 2007 in Catalysts with 0 Comments

Canstruction is a fundraising event for the Food Bank where teams compete by building 10′X 10′X 8′ sculptures out of cans and non-perishable goods. The two day competition ended this afternoon with our team (Industrial Brand Creative and Legends Memorabilia) taking the top prize of Juror’s Choice for the third year in a row with our entry PiniCantics. More photos and our usual timelapse QT of the build are soon to follow in the days ahead. But in the meantime, if you are in the Vancouver area, I encourage you to drop by the Cruise Ship Terminal at Canada Place to view the structures and show your support.

UPDATE: More photos have been posted at Flickr and
The timelapse of our build has been posted over on Todd’s site.

News from the Industrial Brand Frontlines

June 29, 2006 in Catalysts with 0 Comments

• As a follow-up to my review of Vidfest, I met up with Ben Burden Smith, the producer of Tony Hawk and the Boom Boom Sabotage after its world premiere screening and got his take on what is was like working with the Hawk, the local pros, and the challenges of capturing all of the action for 3D. The interview has been posted on the Industrial Brand Blog.

• Also, it seems that the Industrial Brand Blog has won another award. Well, two in fact from Portfolios.com. We received a Bronze for Best Corporate Blog and a Merit for Best Self Promotional Blog.

• Finally, I just learned that I am going to be going down to Seattle, once again as a correspondent for TAXI Design to cover the ICOGRADA convention from the 9 – 15 July 2006. My attourney has advised me to rent a very fast car with no top…

The Return of Fotologue.jp

April 18, 2006 in Catalysts with 0 Comments

Just over a year ago I posted an entry about my experience acquiring a fotologue.jp account for Industrial Brand Creative. As I reported, at that time there was no English whatsoever on the site and one required an invitation in order to join. Almost immediately after our success with acquiring an account, I began receiving emails from people from all over the world asking me how I had done it and could I help them in securing one of their own. Unfortunately, I could not offer them an easy answer.

Recently however, fotologue has launched a new site that is open to the public and has been translated (with typical Japanese accuracy) into English. There are still a few bugs but it also has a number of new features that should make it even more user friendly. At the very least, it offers an aesthetically pleasing alternative to flickr.com of which I have never really been a fan.

And so to commemorate my own new fotologue account, I have posted a few photos from my recent trip to Los Angeles. Enjoy.

The Tilt-Shift Phenomenon

March 7, 2006 in Catalysts with 0 Comments

Okay, so “phenomenon” might be a little overstated, but there has been a pronounced trend online lately towards using or replicating a tilt-shift lens effect to make a normal photograph look like a miniature. Sam Javanrouh over at daily dose has produced some really interesting results with it here, here and, with a slight twist, here. So has his friend Shahin. And this morning, PingMag featured images of a “Tiny Tokyo” inspired by the work of Olivo Barbieri.

Very cool effect. You can learn how to do this to your own photos from this tutorial over at Receding Hairline. Here are a few of my initial attempts.

Check out the submissions that we received over at the Industrial Brand Blog for more examples and links.

The Colours of Cuba

December 6, 2005 in Catalysts with 0 Comments

These past couple of weeks over at Industrial Brand Creative have seen us scrambling to put together the creative for the GDC’s holiday event titled “The Colours of Cuba” this Wednesday night. Along with invitations and posters, we have designed a cool little website to promote the event. Considering the weather that we’ve been stuck with lately in Vancouver, this event is sure to be the hottest ticket in town.

Adventures in the Industrial Brand Blogosphere

November 7, 2005 in Catalysts with 0 Comments

The Industrial Brand Blog has been getting quite a lot of attention as of late. In less than a year, the number of visitors has risen steadily to about 30,000 per month. We suddenly find ourselves using terms like “blogroll” and “trackback” a lot. We’ve made contact with other bloggers and web pioneers from around the world. We’ve sat on blog panels. And just this past month, we have been recognized by Applied Arts for Best Blog and on Wednesday with a Lotus Award of Merit for Best Interactive Miscellaneous. It has been quite the exciting ride so far. Can’t wait to see what lies around the next cyber corner.

This past weekend, Industrial Brand Creative along with Legends Memorabilia teamed up once again to participate in Canstruction Vancouver, a charity event in which teams build large sculptures out of non-perishable goods that are judged, exhibited and then later disassembled and donated to the Food Bank. Our sculpture this year, Snoopy on his doghouse took top prize of Juror�s Choice and all signs point to it going on to win the People�s Choice award as well.

We just launched the site for it this afternoon. Check out the time lapse video of the build. For anyone in Vancouver, the exhibit is running until the 12th of March at Canada Place so be sure to drop if you have a chance.
