JB's Friday 5

Hello Friends,

Damn, is it Friday?

#1 – Shrek

Now you don’t have to say it, because it’s also a dream of mine to sleep in a perfect recreation of Shrek’s swamp. And hey, believe it or not my dreams are coming true because now you can sleep in a perfect recreation of Shrek’s swamp!

#2 – 2023 Ig Nobel Prizes

Have heard of the Nobel Prizes? Awards handed out each year for the most ground breaking scientific research? Well the Nobel Prize has a cousin: the Ig Nobel Prizes, created to honour achievements that make people LAUGH, then THINK. This years winners include a study about why scientists like to lick rocks, a paper studying the sensations people feel when they repeat a single word many, many, many, many, many, many, many times, and experiments on a city street to see how many passers-by stop to look upward when they see strangers looking upward, just to name a few. You can have a look at a list of winners and delve a bit deeper here.

#3 – Wind

Robert Loebel is an incredible animator and his animated short “Wind” is seriously good.

#4 – Happily Ever After

Ads shouldn’t be able to hit this hard. This is a super powerful ad about the realities of Alzheimer’s disease, it gave me chills so well done.

#5 – Valaire - That Depends On You

A music video about an idea for a music video. I love it. So dumb. So smart. So weird.

O.K.

That’s it.

JB

No Friday 5 for the next few weeks as I am off for a well earned break.
