13 Jan 2009 POETS' NEST
A MASH-UP is a derivative work consisting of two pieces of (generally digital) media conjoined together, such as a video clip with a different soundtrack applied for humorous effect, or a digital map overlaid with user-supplied data. (Retrieved from "http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mashup")

The following, created by Gabriele Guerra, is a very ambitious mash-up: instead of a mere trailer, it re-edits two whole movies, ending up with almost an hour of good quality entertainment. What is really impressive of the operation, is that the two sources are not ridiculized, but almost strengthened in their assumptions and drama. Check out the trailer below, then you'll want to see the entire thing.

30 Dic 2008 QUEEN IMA
This is the last of the animations inserted in a television project named "Tales from the Coral Garden", a docu-fiction about kids discovering the beauty of the Red Sea. The serie will be on air on january 5th to 9th at 3:15PM CET on RAITRE, inside the program TREBISONDA. I'll notice you for streaming versions. This tale is about Ima, Queen Tridacna.
Below you have the logo of the serie. I tried to blend the image of a turtle with the arab handwriting for "Sheherazade", visible on the upper left part, in an attempt to emulate islamic calligraphy.

Below are two of my contributions. The second says: "Cartoon artists in jail drawing! All the others OUT!!!"

08 Aug 2008 Google MAP ESCHER STYLE
Look at the image I just copied from Google Map. We are in the very heart of Rome, where via Arenula crosses river Tiber. Notice that on the left of the street you can see the northern façade of the buildings (shaded), while on the right you can see the southern (in full sunlight). This "Escher style" effect would be possible if buildings were bending in different directions due to a strong motion earthquake, or if the satellite were approaching the surface at almost the speed of light. Another explanation is that geeks at Google juxtapose images from different geostationary satellites (look at the tracks near the blue car turning on the bridge, they are slightly displaced). That's real hard work guys, I appreciate it, but the result is a mess!
