Technical DIFFICUL-TEES

So for those of you who are use to the music and the dope wallpaper that drapped this Blog, or have never seen it at all, I am sooo sorry that its down. I recently seeked to change some things and pretty much screwed up everything I didnt want to change. So, If patiencence is a virtue I ask for all you virtous lads to just give me some time and I will make it all right with some upgrades in store. 

Thank you for your patience, continue living like your in |DaREALcode.|

Peace,

FROM THE HOOP : 3D Short

From the hoop from From the hoop Team on Vimeo.

The story was inspired by the life of Earl Manigault, a basketball player who lost everything in drugs. Near the end of his life he dedicated his time to helping children of Harlem avoid the same fate. It was during this time that he started the “Walk Away From Drugs” tournament for kids. He died in 1998 from a heart failure.

The storyline in the actual film very non-linear and I think it is meant to be more of an abstract subjective interpretation of Manigault’s personal struggle with his inner-demons. It’s a beautiful little short though and the color and animation are really great for a student film. Impressive work

A Good Guess with Taste : The ‘Slip Watch’

The ‘Slip Watch’ from Nonlinear Studio is a fun timepiece that’s set on a 20-degree angle. The watch doesn’t mess with silly details like numbers and dates, so you’ll need to estimate the exact time.

The ‘Slip Watch’ from Nonlinear Studio is a clever take on the traditional square timepiece. Its simple rotation sets the watch apart from similar luxury watches, and is sure to catch eyes whether you’re at the boardroom or happy hour.
