Woooooo! 10 brilliantly inventive horror animations
As you may have noticed, it's Halloween today and we thought we'd bring you a selection of the best spooky animated shorts. But rather than seek out the obvious choices, we decided to delve a little deeper and pick out the best examples of animators taking a sideways glance at the horror genre and doing something a little different with it. Some of these are funny, some are scary, but all are to be commended for both technique and originality. So, on with the show... 01. A really creepy atmosphere is created in this face painting stop motion animation by Erica Luke. 02. A sinister dear creature is conjured up in the mind of a man during a dramatic car crash. 03. Nico Casavecchia uses an audio excerpt from Where The Wild Things Are to illustrate a surreal story about a little vampire that has a pretty terrible day. 04. This short trailer for Catzilla from Polish studio Patige Image features a scraggy mutant cat who seems to have created a post apocalyptic world to a dubstep soundtrack. 05.
A Cathedral Made from 55,000 LED Lights
The Luminarie De Cagna is an imposing cathedral-like structure that was recently on display at the 2012 Light Festival in Ghent, Belgium. The festival was host to almost 30 exhibitions including plenty of 3D projection mapping, fields of luminous flowers, and a glowing phone booth aquarium, however with 55,000 LEDs and towering 28 meters high the Luminarie De Cagna seems to have stolen the show.

Live Green - The Houses That PET Plastic Built
Eco-minded architects and designers are making treasure out of trash by recycling used PET bottles into beautiful, sustainable, buildings. Eco-minded architects and designers are making treasure out of trash by recycling used PET bottles into beautiful, sustainable, buildings. One of the wonderful things about being recycle-minded is that every piece of trash is an opportunity to recreate something wonderful. At least, that’s the way I felt when I saw testaments to the miracle of recycling — houses, cisterns, furniture, bus stops and even entire schools — made from recycled PET plastic bottles. Eco-tec, an award-winning Honduran company, has used recycled PET plastic bottles for construction of houses, water tanks, and even schools.

A new project called Stereographic Street View transforms any location into its own three dimensional panoramic floating island. Different types of environments and landscapes offer a variety of results generating unique islands for each location. Just a few hours ago, this short video using Stereographic Street View from Max Novakovic went up online.
