I'm not convinced it was all in one take due to the multiple shots....yet, its still one of the best Rube Golfbergs I've ever seen. I say that because of the 'simple creativity', and the fact that you could easily see everything that was going on. So even though, it was multiple shots, I think that was the best way to shoot it. 10/10.

Surprised it's a boy too, but that's a "whatever" moment to me. I'm more bothered at how the models are rendered with a multitude of racist/typical Hollywood "Asian-looking" caricature that's far from reality. Jaundice skin tone? Check. No eye-lid? Check. But it's already an improvement from the pre-90s! Look! No bucktooth!

There's got to be better technology/creativity to render a model that look Asian without looking like a bad caricature.

As someone who knows Doom, the creators, game development, and creative media in general, this guy is stuffing words in mouths.
His Psychoanalysis might be accurate for the *creators*, by nature of their construction of narrative within the boundaries of our societies understanding, but I'm certain none of them would say "yeah! yeah that was totally our motivation/deeper meaning/intended symbolism."

Also, pretty certain Baphomet is not French, but I'd be interested in someone proving me wrong!

I usually don't care for skate videos, but that was really good. Some very creative tricks in there.

Nice! Didn't think someone would be analyzing/commenting on intros. I don't typically pay too much attention to intros, but I thought this one really creative and aesthetically pleasing.

Not to mention really setting the mood for the show itself.

It's a really great one. The design process for it is quite fascinating.

I love title sequences and the creative process of designing and producing them. I'm so glad Art of the Title exists to write up detailed articles with interviews of the creators.

On January 30, 2015, it was reported that Lone Survivor director Peter Berg had replaced Chandor to re-team with Wahlberg for the film. Chandor exited due to some creative differences.

Read, 'not enough sturm und drang action sequences for a disaster movie', get a new director.

Oh and *promote biological creativity!

My God! - Is this what we have come to with entertainment?
The digital age is killing creativity with nonsense.

You know, I read a recent interview with John Oliver where he is very emphatic that his show is "comedy" and that, despite what people want to read into it, he is not making political statements. I think if I had watched this video before reading that interview I would have scoffed (as others here already have). But it's pretty clear to me now that he and his writers know exactly what they are doing.

Basically, this video is the result of John Oliver saying, "You know, when you think about this history of racism in American cinema you can find some pretty fucked up stuff. How can we make a joke out of that?"

It's not designed to be an actual literary critique, it's meant to use the facts to play up a punch line. I'm pretty sure John and his writing crew know that "The Last Samurai" does not refer to Tom Cruise's character (i.e. just because the character is trained how to use the sword and armor does not automatically make him a samurai), but it's easy to see how they can make a joke out of the ambiguity of the title and Americans' tendency for self-centeredness (I'm sure there are people in the U.S. who think the title does indeed refer to Cruise's character).

I actually don't have a problem with actors "playing outside their ethnicity" (whatever the hell that is supposed to mean). I'm reminded of the recent controversy about the video game Uncharted 4 which has a white actress voice-acting the role of a black South African character. The Creative Director responded to the controversy by pointing out that a white character is voiced by a black actor in the same game, and that the decisions were made based on the choosing the best actor for the role--not on what the actor looked like in real life (read more about the story here).

As CG progresses and digital characters become a norm, I think this is an issue that's only going to get greater in the film industry. In our demand for political correctness will we demand that the actors physically resemble the characters they are portraying onscreen? That seems a bit absurd to me. But so too is the idea of excluding people for consideration from roles based solely on the color of their skin.

Thought the FPS was gimmicky at first, but it really looks like they got creative with it. Bravo!

I'm not really a fan of most of their music, but I kind of liked this song, and that was a REALLY cool video imo. Can't fault them for their creativity.

*promote payback creativity!

I hate advertising. I despise it. I think it is evil and wrong and creepy, and am deeply concerned about how much influence it has over modern life, especially in the US. I run adblock software in any browser I use ALL THE TIME, I block advertising servers in my hosts file, and even block at the router level as an additional layer of redundancy. And I feel zero guilt and entirely justified in doing so.

...That being said, Adam's plug at the end of this video is exactly what I think advertising should be. He is (clearly) enthusiastic about The Martian as a creative work / product. He has an audience that are interested in hearing him talk about things that he is enthusiastic about. Fox could have ignored or turned down Adam's (I'm sure) polite inquiries about possibly being able to see one of these props in person, but instead they recognized that they actually stand a lot to gain by letting him check it out.

He is genuinely interested in Fox's property, I'm sure he would happily recommend the movie even if they hadn't been kind enough to let him check out the prop, and now Fox gets free advertising and goodwill spread directly at an audience that is likely very receptive towards their product. Everybody wins.

So kudos to Fox and Adam for this. Maybe it keeps up a bit further away from AD-mageddon. And to chip in -- I agree with Adam; see The Martian and read the book. Both are very good. And I'm not being paid to say that.
