History of Sicily in One Hundred Seconds

Storia della Sicilia in cento secondi.

"As the title suggests, it's a fast-run across a pressing and hyper-compact narration. "Those who knew little or nothing about the events told, will be surprised by the great number of conflicts, wars, monarchies, dominations, martyrs and crimes that plagued the island in millenniums." The short film has been ideated and directed by Turi Scandurra. Screenplay: Nino Arcidiacono. Music performed by Peppe Gullotta. Voice (for the Italian version): Alessandro Sciglio. NOTE: The Quicktime (MOV) file is in a much higher resolution and uses lossless compression. LANGUAGE: The link refers to the Italian version or the English version according to the language the title is written in. (OK, once written it sounds pretty obvious...)

"Come suggerisce il titolo, c’è da correre attraverso una narrazione incalzante ed ipercompatta. "Chi sapeva poco o nulla degli eventi narrati sarà forse sorpreso dal gran numero di conflitti, guerre, monarchie, dominazioni, martiri e delinquenze che hanno sventrato l’isola nei millenni." Il corto è stato ideato e diretto da Turi Scandurra. Testi di Nino Arcidiacono. Musiche eseguite da Peppe Gullotta. Voce (per la versione italiana): Alessandro Sciglio. NOTA: Il file Quicktime (MOV) è a risoluzione maggiore ed usa compressione senza perdita. LANGUAGE: I link si riferiscono alla versione italiana o a quella inglese a seconda del linguaggio in cui è scritto il titolo. (OK, adesso che l'ho scritto sembra ovvio...)

Clif Bar: 2 Mile Challenge

If 1 million people replaced a
2 mile car trip once a week with a
bike ride CO₂ emissions could be
reduced by 50000 tons per year.

Ok, here's a-something much more in topic, a visual essay realized by Cobra Creative. The Challenge basically stays in riding your bike for two miles. To fight against global warming. Sounds easy, aint' it.

Ok, ecco qualcosa più in tema. Un saggio visuale realizzato da Cobra Creative. La "sfida" sta in pratica nel guidare la propria bici per due miglia. Per combattere il riscaldamento del globo. Sembra facile.

SIMON ROBSON - What Barry Says

None of us really matters to them.

A collaboration between Simon Robson and his friend Barry McNamara, this short date back 2003, but nothing changed since then. Nothing. They started recording a monologue by Barry, about the Imperialism made in U.S.A. and the "Project for the New American Century". On what Barry says, Simon developed this animation with the intent of catch and hold the attention of a "visually literate" generation.

Una collaborazione fra Simon Robson ed il suo amico Barry McNamara, questo corto risale al 2003, ma niente e' cambiato da allora. Niente. Punto di partenza e' un monologo di Barry, incentrato su imperialismo made in U.S.A. e sul "Progetto per il Nuovo Secolo Americano". Su cio' che Barry dice, Simon sviluppa questa animazione con l'intento di catturare e trattenere l'attenzione di una generazione "educata al video".
