ActionBooth has teamed up with StitchSisters in producing some fine articles of clothing. Men's hoodies are black and have a warm sherpa lining, white ActionBooth logo on the front and a large red ActionBooth Wings logo across the shoulders. The women's version is a red zip up, same logo on front, but a smaller white wings logo across the lower back.

WTF? by OK GO

OK Go - WTF? from OK Go on Vimeo.


Okay okay, you figured me out. I really like OK GO. This video isn't a one take that they normally shoot. The algorithm of how this video was created was that it keeps the previous frame/image underneath any current movement/frame. The lingering ghost image is born. Not the strongest of their videos, but I really like this song.

*Patiently awaits Skyscrapers video*

Kristen Dunst is turning Japanese?


Say what now? Do you think she did this because of the Spiderman Reboot series? This video is the Uncensored version by the way. Please watch with caution.

ActionBooth in Spain and Italy!



Just a taste of what's soon to come as my sister and I travel around Italy!

Content Aware Fill in PS CS5 BLOWS MY MIND!

Insert head exploding sound here. This is photography magic if I ever saw it. It's practically cheating! When Photoshop CS6 comes around, there better not be an "Amazing Jumping Photo" filter option that people will abuse like solar flare and emboss.


brb, head is still exploding.

Who would like to make an ActionBooth commercial for national TV?

We here at ActionBooth are looking for all kinds of ways to promote our sweet business. Through Google, we can now place bids on national cable television and make our own commercial to run at whatever hours we bid for! It is pretty simple, all we would need is a video camera, a sweet idea, editing gear and some loot to place it on the air!

This video on SlateV shows you how easy it is! Watch it and brainstorm with us. Let's be famous together!



Except, let's not run it on Fox news. I don't think anything good will come of that.

ActionBooth on Kotaku!

abkotaku
Tim Rogers and Bob from Bob's Games were brought into our booth at GDC because we were playing AB Bingo. We had no clue who they were when we asked them to take pictures with us, nor did we know that they were going to be really cool people. Good luck with your game Bob! Rock on Tim, Action Buttons Entertainment FTW!

Tap Project was successful!

We had a great time working with Unicef for their Tap Project. Thank you Erin for bringing us to be part of the team. Rockit Ranch, your management and staff was very pleasant and easy to work with. Great job team!

Movies trailers that are complete formulas.

Have you ever noticed that movie trailers are pretty formula? This video really shows this well. As I watched this, I would have flashes of past movies that I've seen that follow this format. These guys did a really good job on the recreation. Well played.

How do you get a whole high school to participate in a backwards music video?


I wish my high school was this cool. They got the whole school to do a music video backwards... in ONE take. Amazing. Go Shorewood High.

Watch Sugar Water by Cibo Matto.This music video is like a cross between Irriversiblé and Time Code, except this came out a few years before both of them. Amazing timing and technical skill in producing this music video.

She and Him: In The Sun video



How much cuter can Zooey Deschanel get? Just wait 'til you see her with a hula hoop.

70 Million by Hold Your Horses

70 Million by Hold Your Horses ! from L'Ogre on Vimeo.


I love how in this video, they go and recreate famous paintings while singing their song. The song is pretty catchy too. It's something I would definitely have on my iPod.

This Too Shall Pass - OK GO

These guys have always made really cool one take music videos. From their back yard dance to the treadmill video, this one will be super hard to top. I got so involved in watching the video that I kinda forgot to listen to the song.

Here it is for your viewing/listening pleasure.
