How do you dip your cookies?
Tweet
The Swedish brand of biscuits Ballerina Kladdkaka recently launched a neat campaign, focused on a simple ritual that most of its consumers love to dip the wafer in milk before eating. The brand decided to dive one of the biscuits from more than 4,500 meters, where a parachutist simply destroys a small pool of milk with a packet of biscuits in their hands.
Through the site www.ballerina.se the best videos and photos sent to people 'dipping' their Ballerina cookies are being posted on the main page of the brand. I personally prefer my biscuits in bed, but hey, milk is just as awesome. The agency responsible is volontaire. VIA

Mark Evans Awesome Etched Leather Artwork
Tweet
Knives. Swords. Blades. Axes. If it has a blade and can – in any way – be considered a weapon, men like playing with it. It’s hard-coded into our DNA like our love of boobs and fast cars. Mark Evans is an artist that makes the rest of us look like tomboys driving Power Wheels.
Evans starts with a big ass piece of leather and etches through the leather, using the suede that is uncovered to craft mind blowing pieces of art. When he’s done months later, the final product is the most artistically primal expression of manliness since the Model T.
He doesn’t do brushes, he can’t paint… he just plays with knives. www.markevansart.com VIA

Parallel Lines Project Philips
Tweet
There are millions of ways to tell a story. Theres only one way to watch one. Part of the Parallel Lines project from Philips Cinema and Ridley Scott Associates. Five short films. Five genres. Five of RSA’s hottest directors. One unifying piece of dialogue. Were pushing the boundaries of cinematic viewing, giving you the chance to experience the spectacular Ambilight, picture and sound capabilities of Philips TVs for yourself.
The unusual campaign, which follows the much-admired Philips Carousel work, sees DDB London collaborate with RSA to create a series of films that aim to emphasise Philips' cinematic qualities. Six lines of dialogue were written by DDB and five directors (Greg Fay, Johnny Hardstaff, Carl Erik Rinsch, Jake Scott and Hi-Sim) have turned them into five very different films. Enjoy!

Awesome Documentary: The king of Kong
Tweet
You have to see "The King of Kong". Why? Well, maby because its probably the most awesomest documentary EVER. A wonderful stage is set up for a battle between good vs. evil. Will the underdog, who has been kicked down his entire life, reach his goal of scoring the highest Donkey Kong score ever? Will he meet face to face and defeat the evil, pompous villain in a match of "competitive gaming?" The protagonist is built up as a normal simpleton who has not been able to achieve his goals throughout life even with all the talent that he possesses. The antagonist is portrayed wonderfully as an arrogant hypocrite who thinks that the entire video game world revolves around him. You want nothing more than to see the villain fall down.

Awesome Hyper-Realistic Acrylic Body Painting
Tweet
Alexa Meade thinks completely backwards. Most artists use acrylic paints to create portraits of people on canvas. But not Meade - she applies acrylic paints on her subjects and makes them appear to be a part of the painting!
Her innovative use of paint on the three dimensional surfaces of found objects, live models, and architectural spaces has been incorporated into a series of installations that create a perceptual shift in how we experience and interpret spatial relationships.
"I paint representational portraits directly on top of the people I am representing. The models are transformed into embodiments of the artist's interpretation of their essence. When captured on film, the living, breathing people underneath the paint disappear, overshadowed by the masks of themselves."

"As part of international Pillow Fight Day - Los Angeles, some friends and I biked to downtown to see what's up. The energy levels were through the roof. I had no intention of making a video, but the atmosphere sort of was asking to be properly documented. I took my camera straight into the core of the arena."

Filmed inside Cambridge University’s anechoic chamber (designed to create total silence) and featuring former Guantanamo Bay detainee, Ruhal Ahmed, this short by Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin is a reflection on Ahmed’s experiences whilst in detention (particularly how he was interrogated using high-volume music) and about the use of human sound on the body.
