Puppies and Flowers

A new TV ad made using 200 camcorders has landed itself a Guinness World Record.

The commercial for Toshiba's range of HD products was shot using the "bullet-time" technique, as seen in sci-fi movie The Matrix, starring Keanu Reeves.

The technique freezes the shot, while circling the freeze-frame.

The advert was filmed using a custom-built, 360-degree rig of Toshiba Gigashot handheld cameras.

The shoot used up 20,000Gb of hard disk space and took over 336 hours for computers to process.

Those stats helped earn it a world record for incorporating the most moving image cameras used in a composite film shot.

Here’s a clever print ad for a Belgian optician, by LG&F in Brussels. View larger

Copy at the bottom of the letter:
“Is it difficult for you to read these letters? If it is, than please drop by for a free eye test”

About The Walker Brothers (From Wiki):

The Walker Brothers were an American 1960s and 1970s pop group, comprising Scott Engel, John Maus, and Gary Leeds. They had a number of top ten albums and singles in the mid-1960s, including number 1 chart hits “Make It Easy on Yourself” and “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine (Anymore)“.

Formed in 1964, the three unrelated musicians adopted the ‘Walker Brothers’ name as a show business touch – “simply because we liked it”.^[1] They provided a unique counterpoint to the British Invasion in that they were a group from the United States that only achieved success in the United Kingdom and Germany, while the popularity of bands such as The Beatles spread to the US.^[2]

Thanks Ray C.

UPDATE:
I just watched the documentary “Scott Walker: 30 Century Man“. Brilliant. Please excuse my ignorance, I’d never heard of him.

He is a third of the size of an average guinea pig, and weighs in at just a few ounces – but this tiny puppy could be a big deal when it comes to world records.

The miniscule chihuahua-Jack Russell cross – appropriately named Tom Thumb by its owners – is a serious contender for the title of being the smallest dog on the planet.

Little Tom was born just three weeks ago as part of a surprise litter to mum Spice, a chihuahua. Little Tom

From smileys sweets:

Cupcakes are so wonderful and versatile, aren’t they? These are vanilla cuppies with a chocolate cuppie in between, green coconut for the lettuce and frosting for the mustard and ketchup! I used a bit of fresh orange juice to brush the tops so the sesame seeds would stick!
