So that’s us for this year. With the snow kicking in and our urge to drink and be merry taking over, we’re taking a festive break, ready to come back fresh in the New Year. And we mean fresh.
Have a great one and remember to follow us on Twitter here, you never know what we might be announcing.
It’s that time of year and thanks to Andrew Telling we are in a giving mood. The man has just released the second part of his Human Resources Mixtape series.
Enjoy.

It means there is an underlying unchanging speed that rules everything.”

This is the full projection mapping sequence from the HP ePrint & TRON: Legacy Experience on the the roof of the QEH on London’s Southbank, which is on from late November – early Dec 2010.
The work was created by Guided Collective in collaboration with Flat-e / Seeper (animation and projection mapping) and Si Begg (sound design and re-jigged elements from Daft Punk’s TRON: Legacy soundtrack) as an immersive visual spectacle augmented with snippets from Daft Punk’s soundtrack and orignal sound FX from the film.
