Scarlett Johansson & Pete Yorn duet
Ninja October 6th, 2009
Oh no, not another actress/singer, I groaned to myself. But Scarlett Johansson’s twangy vocals on Relator complement Pete Yorn’s catchy ’60s tunes quite well. Relator is the first single off of Pete and Scarlett’s album, Break Up. Inspired by the collaboration between Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot, this album includes eight original songs (plus a cover of I Am the Cosmos).

Yuken Teruya’s playful forestscapes:
Toilet rolls sprouting spreading branches are hung to create a ‘forest’ hanging on the wall or hanging down from the ceiling. There is a moment when the hanging cut-out-parts start holding their branches and leaves on their own strength. It is as if I’m helping the paper awakens its ability to be an individual tree.

HunterGatherer’s creative process
Ninja October 5th, 2009
HunterGatherer is an award-winning design, illustration, animation and production studio founded by Todd St. John. Here’s a look into their creative process.
It’s more an enjoyment of the craft and of the process and being able to work with tactile things instead of computer models, although those are fun sometimes too… I spend very little time knowing sort of what’s going on with the latest camera or software or things like that and probably more time and trying to come up with custom ways of doing stuff. If you can have a process that’s different, you’re going to have a result that’s different.
