In 2009, Casey Pugh asked thousands of Internet users to remake "Star Wars: A New Hope" into a fan film, 15 seconds at a time. Contributors were allowed to recreate scenes from Star Wars however they wanted. The crowd-sourced project has been stitched together and put online. The "Director's Cut" is a feature-length film that contains hand-picked scenes from the entire StarWarsUncut.com collection.

Acadian hip hop + Orchestra = Don't miss it

2012-01-11T08:23:00.005-04:00

Our client, the New Brunswick Youth Orchestra his having their annual concert in Moncton next month. And this one is going to be special. Performing with the NBYO will be Acadian hip-hop group Radio Radio. The concert is the first Moncton performance of the NBYO after their win at The Summa Cum Laude International Youth Music Festival and Competition in Vienna, Austria this past summer.

The concert is called “Radio Radio Orchestre Orchestra”, and will showcase the orchestra’s new repertoire for 2012 and will bring the electro-tinted rap, funk and pop of RADIO RADIO on stage for what will no doubt be a memorable night.

Find out more here on the NBYO site.

Tickets are $28.50 for adults and $20 for Seniors & Students. Tickets are currently online at www.ticketwindow.ca or by calling 1-877-700-3130. Tickets can also be purchased at the Moncton Wesleyan Celebration Centre Box Office, Frank’s Music and Steve’s Diner.

Not sure why it is but it's always cool when someone famous mentions where you are from. Whether it's a TV show that says your province or at a concert where the lead singer shouts out your town's name, everyone loves it.

So if you want to hear someone uber famous talk about New Brunswick and Saint John, watch this interview of Donald Trump by Harry Forestell of the CBC. Watch the interview here

But if you want to hear the Trump man in person (along with America's mayor Rudy Giuliani and Newfoundland's favourite son - Danny Williams) be sure to take in the SPARK event this coming October.

No doubt it will be an amazing event. Get your tickets here.

Razor Creative develops new branding for the Summerside Storm, the new pro basketball team in the NBL.

2011-09-08T15:42:00.024-03:00

The last of the NBL Canada teams now have a name and a look. The team that will be playing out of Credit Union Place in Summerside will be called the Summerside Storm. We were thrilled when asked to develop the branding for the new professional basketball team. The ownership held a contest with the public to help them choose a name -- then it was over to the very talented Rich Gould here at Razor to do his magic.

Everyone is excited with how it turned out and early fan reaction has been great.

Children - full of life. A must watch.

2011-09-06T22:01:00.006-03:00

Today was the first day of school and as luck would have it, I happened to come across this wonderful documentary "Children Full Of Life" on education. It's from Japan -- but The Passionate Eye created an English version. It gives us a glimpse into a classroom of 10 year olds and their teacher Mr. Kanamori, a modern day Master Yoda.

If you care about eduction, I highly recommend that you watch this. It's amazing how Kanamori and his students deal with topics like bullying, grief, emotions, team work and more.

I found it on the blog presentationzen.com and says"It will touch your heart and make you think. It does not matter where you are in the world, this glimpse into a single Japanese elementary school is evocative and illuminating. It may just make you question what education is for in the first place"

I totally agree. I wish there were more teachers like Kanamori out there. He is tough, funny, caring, honest and clearly is not afraid to make a connection with students.

Once again, I recommend you take 40 minutes and watch this program today.

Here are the five parts:

In the former Kramer location is an all new restaurant opening today. It's called the Tide & Boar Gastropub and anyone who had a chance to eat there before they under went renovations know that I'm not exaggerating when I say the food is amazing. For those not familiar with the term "gastropub", it refers to a bar and restaurant that serves high-end beer and food. And boy do they ever!

We worked with C2 to design a number of things, not the least of which is their logo:

Can't wait to see what everything looks like inside (and out) and am eagerly awaiting the chance to eat there once again.

Congrats Chad and Matt and good luck during your opening weekend.
