  • Lego Mars

    March 8th, 2013 / Comments (0)

    This really cool image just popped up on Lego's Facebook page a day or so ago. While NASA begins to explore the red planet, Lego is apparently piggybacking on that idea to move the beloved toy maker into what could one day be a “universal” market. We love how dead simple this image is and the foot prints are sheer genius. This image has received a lot of traction racking up nearly 14,000+ likes in just a few short hours.

    STL Egotist: What St. Louis Learned Last Year from 90 Degrees West on Vimeo.

    The Egotist is a united network that stretches across the nation and has finger holds in nearly every country around the world. Despite which city we descend upon, our goal is clear, to document the creative story of that city and to praise the talent that resides within its borders. We love what we do, and the ability we have to create a global creative record never ceases to inspire us.

    We love it when you, our friends, appreciate the work we do as well. We would still be doing this work in some fashion regardless of readers, followers and friends, but having you with us is the real icing on that cake.

    Every once in awhile our friends, in turn, reach out and honor us for the work we do. That brings us to this post and the wonderful work that 90 Degrees West did for our sister site, The St. Louis Egotist. After we finished our yearly run of the wildly successful “What We Learned This Year” series, the STL-based Post Production firm took it upon themselves to create this swanky mograf piece featuring the advice that STL had culled together throughout the course of the series' run.

    Hey, flattery will get you everywhere with us, but in all seriousness, this is the kind of shit we live for. Check out more about this story on the STL News Page.

  • Google I/O Experiment

    March 8th, 2013 / Comments (0)

    Celebrating the power of input/output and the wonderful nature of code, Instrument created this fun and addicting game for this year's Google I/O experiment. Through your ability to keep tapping the correct sequence of combinations, the game allows you to unlock a bevy of other mini-games and other experiential delights. We ran through it this morning, and it was quite a good time. You can check out the game and more about the Google I/O experiment and event at the Google I/O website (btw it works best on a smart phone or tablet).

    Google's new spot aims to show how their extensive roster of products from chat, maps and Google Plus can help a young pregnant couple during some of the most important moment of their lives. This spot is quite heart felt and does a good job of showing the power that Google's products can have when used in combination to power our digital lives.

    Drifting from Tim Divall on Vimeo.

    Nice animated film work from first year film student, Tim Divall. Drifting is the story of a young boy facing the dilemma and fears of growing up in the adult world. We really love the style of of this animated short. The motion is smooth and the story is engaging and easy to follow.

  • Contours of Difference

    They say that copying in the one of the highest forms of flattery. If that's the case then the Contour camera might just be attempting to flatter the crap out of the Go Pro. Close match? We think so. We initially ran across this piece on our sister site, The Denver Egotist, and they called it, this is a little too close for comfort. But then again, perhaps it's simply how footage looks when you strap a camera to the head of your friends and send them into life or death situations. You be the judge.

    Portland-based director, Scott Coffey, will be debuting his new full-length feature, Adult World, at the upcoming Tribeca Film Festival on April 17 – 28, 2013. The film has been gaining traction and is being touted as one of the more anticipated screenings during the opening weekend of the festival.

    The movie follows a naive writer, Amy, as she begrudgingly takes a job at a local sex shop. As Amy's world becomes more intertwined with the shop she begins to learn that inspiration can be found in the most unlikely places.

    The film stars Emma Roberts as Amy and John Cusack as her unlikely mentor, Rat Billings. It was produced by Treehouse Pictures, a New York and LA based production company.
