Computer Animation of Helicopter Tragedy
Kitchen Sink Studios, Adria’s place of employment, was recently asked to develop a video re-enactment of a helicopter crash involving two local television news copters.
It was a day that will forever live in the minds of Phoenix residents, when an unthinkable tragedy took the lives of four people who seemed like family members to many in the city.
On July 27, 2007, two television news helicopters crashed into each other while covering a high-speed chase in central Phoenix, killing the crews in both. In the aftermath, it was difficult to determine how something like this could happen — but necessary to resolve the legal issues surrounding the crash.
That’s why Pat McGroder of Gallagher & Kennedy, which represented the victims’ families from the Channel 3 helicopter in the case (Bowerbank/Cox vs. US Helicopters, ET AL.), brought in Kitchen Sink Studios to help.
To me, this is a great example of how design can be used to help solve a real world problem. I’m sure this type of design goes unnoticed every day, but I find KSS’s involvement in this case particularly interesting.

Experimenting with form and content: William Shatner Reads Sarah Palin’s Farewell Speech
The video floating on the tubes today of William Shatner reading Sarah Palin’s resignation speech reminds me of Chip Kidd’s Form/Content experimentation when he released The Learners.
[UPDATE: NBC yanked the video from YouTube.]

Dan Gilbert on our mistaken expectations [ted talk]
I didn’t plan to watch this entire Ted talk, but it happened to be one I couldn’t pause. It challenges the traditional view of happiness, considers the psychology of thinking and inspires a new model of decision making. Yet, in the end, I can’t seem to get past my old, ingrained processes. Regardless, the video provides an entertaining and thought-provoking thirty minutes.
Dan Gilbert presents research and data from his exploration of happiness — sharing some surprising tests and experiments that you can also try on yourself.

Banksy’s latest exhibition opens tomorrow in Bristol. Here’s a preview. Following is my favorite piece from the pictures I’ve seen thus far. Jealousy ensues.

Via Laughing Squid, “After 7 years of freelancing, Scott Iseri, got an office job. Instead of buckling down in the corporate world, he created a web series ‘Scotty Got an Office Job’ featuring his office subversion.”
Unfortunately, I’ve discovered “Scotty Got an Office Job” months too late. Apparently, now Scotty had an office job. The series can be found on on iTunes. I cannot recommend you download it hard enough.
