This music video was filmed with a Kinect and industrial laser scanner

This is pretty cool: director Sam Peacocke ditched his cameras and used an industrial laser scanner and a Kinect to create this music video for Pacific Heights's Buried by the Burden. It's grainy, ghostly, and downright fascinating.

New Zealand-based songwriter and producer Devin Abrams, who performs under the moniker Pacific Heights, offers a few words about the video: "This project replicates the constantly decaying mechanism of memory by way of the techniques used to make it. No cameras were used at any stage in the production; instead low‐resolution, 3D models of environments were captured with an industrial laser scanner. Into these worlds we then placed the vocalist, Louis Baker; his likeness in motion was captured with a gaming interaction sensor, the X‐Box Kinect."

The building blocks of your childhood dreams have finally arrived

Mini Materials in Winter Springs, Florida produces beautiful miniaturized construction materials at 1:12 scale. The cinder blocks are made from actual cement, the bricks are made from real terra cotta, and the pallets (which double as coasters) are built from real wood. For added durability you'll probably want to use their mortar that's thankfully easier to mix than the real thing. Whether you want to build your own miniature version of Winterfell Castle, the White House, or the X-Mansion, Mini Materials will let you make them as sturdy as their real-life counterparts.

Feast your eyes on the making of 'Heisei Mary'

This is a time-lapse video of Japanese artist Shohei Otomo drawing Heisei Mary — a naked Sailor Moon-like figure completely covered in tattoos. The highly-detailed body ink features Spiderman, Darth Vader, Hello Kitty, Naruto, Street Fighter and Dragon Ball characters to name a few. It's really satisfying to see an artist's process, the way their illustration grows and grows out of nothing. Shohei is known for his hyper-realistic sketches using ballpoint pens. Born in Tokyo in 1980, he is the son of Katsuhiro Otomo, the creator of the manga Akira . He exhibits his work regularly in Japan and Australia as well as in Mexico and France. Three weeks worth of work are sped up into less than four minutes.

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.
