The Metamorphosis of Osdorp

Love this beautiful animation/film created by the guy’s of +1 Amsterdam. Not completely new techniques and it has a very MTV-ish feel to it, but still … very nicely executed.

The city district Amsterdam Osdorp recently merged with Slotervaart and Geuzenveld-Slotermeer and was given the name Amsterdam Nieuw-West. This change also meant the end of 20 years of restructuring urbanized areas. To celebrate everything achieved, a book was published. ‘The Metamorphosis of Osdorp’ gives an overview of the architectural highlights. PlusOne was asked to create the video.

Write the future

Nike runs a pretty cool campaign WRITE THE FUTURE for the World Championship football 2010 in South Africa. The time has come for players to carve their name in history. One touch, tackle or free kick could crush a nation’s hopes or cause them to build a statue in your honour. Players like Drogba, Rooney, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo are ready to Write The Future.

You can also see what happens to star player Rooney when he doesn’t make the difference this tournament.

And, not that I’m chauvinistic or anything… but I’m missing: Kahlid Boulahrouz, Mark van Bommel, Nigel de Jong, Wesley Sneijder, Ibrahim Affelay, Robin van Persie, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Arjan Robben, Dirk Kuyt and most of all Rafael van der Vaart ;-)

Bottled water, the new oil #2

I’ve reported about the paradox of bottled water before in the post Bottled water, the new oil.
There is something strange about water in a bottle. You have the feeling to be buying a pure and clean ’source’ product, which is healthier and cleaner than ordinary tap water. But the opposite is the truth. Here’s 2 other examples explaining why bottled water is in fact a environmental disaster. (If watching the video consumes too much time for you, just stick to the info graphic, it basically tells the same story).
This film is from the creators of ‘the story of stuff‘, also a very nice film that’ll make you think about how we produce and consume.

The Story of Bottled Water, was released on March 22, 2010 on World Water Day
