ECO Chopper by Smolyanov Michael

ECO Chopper

This green and yello organic, alien-looking chooper designed by Smolyanov Michael is actually ECO-friendly. huh? The materials are not only eco-friendly, but also very light in weight and stronger than usual. The bike’s frames, suspension and steering components are grown from organic substances and then fastened. The bike really comes out with strong, lightweight and very powerful spatial structure after processing and destruction of organic carbon skeleton with fluorine. And that’s where the name M-Org

Kanye Approves Tokyo Glow

tokyo glow 400x475

Tokyo/Glow from Nathan Johnston on Vimeo.

Remember this cool video featuring a glowing man in the streets of Tokyo I posted a few weeks ago by Nathan Johnson?

Apparently this video paired up with Kanye West's song Street Lights is approved by Kanye himself.



A bit more info on the original purpose of the video:

A branded short film for The Generic Man by Industry Films and Citizen Jones.

Written and directed by Jonathan Bensimon and produced by Jonas Bell Pasht, Tokyo/Glow follows the nighttime journey of an illuminated man from a crosswalk sign as he embarks on an adventure through the streets of Tokyo. Shot on location throughout Tokyo using thousands of individual digital stills, the short film features original music by indie rock band Kidstreet, who recently signed with Nettwerk Records and will be releasing their debut album worldwide in 2010.

To achieve the striking effect of the illuminated man, an original light suit was constructed using hundreds of feet of high-voltage LED rope lights and a translucent nylon outer shell. Michael Lambermont, executive producer at Alter Ego in Toronto, oversaw the effects-heavy post-production process, which included weeks of extensive rotoscoping and compositing in the facility's two Flame suites, plus a final colour grade, once the effects were complete. Geoff Ashenhurst, editor at Stealing Time, was charged with bringing the thousands of digital stills to life with director Bensimon.
