Jake Davidson goes to prom with Nina Agdal

May 24th, 2013

Back in March we wrote about Jake Davidson asking supermodel Kate Upton to the prom. Sadly she had to turn him down because of her schedule. Lots of web sites say she said no as an excuse to get out of it, but I think she really would have gone. In her interviews she seemed sincere about it, but sometimes your schedule doesn’t let you do everything you want to do.

Lucky for Jake, 5’9 Danish supermodel Nina Agdal stepped in and contacted him saying she would go. According to their twitters and short video clips with Jake, they had a great time last night and we here at Panic Films HQ couldn’t be happier for Jake. And to him we say well done, buddy, well done.

Not gonna lie, the name Nina Agdal was new to us too so here’s some photos of her. Can somebody remind me to buy the news SI Swimsuit Issue please? Apparently I’m missing out.

Batman Arkham Origins Trailer

May 22nd, 2013

Wow. The graphics in the new Batman: Arkham Origins trailer looks so realistic! I just can’t get over it. Okay fine, it’s live action and I don’t care. As much as I love gameplay videos and amazing CGI, I like how well this is done and the Batman suit looks really badass, along with the Deathstroke fight scene. Also seen quickly is Deadshot and Black Mask, who are new to me but still pretty badass. I’m a firm believer of gameplay in trailers or at least mixed in with cinematics. The game will be out on October 25th, 2013

New Trailers – Batman Arkham Origins & Pacific Rim

May 16th, 2013

It’s only a teaser of the new Batman Arkham Origins game but it’s a good one. We see a beautiful, but so so short cinematic of Batman fighting Deathstroke, who is new to the series and to me. I think I’ll have to dig into a couple graphic novels soon to find out more about this Deathstroke gentleman.

Pacific Rim again blows me away with this new trailer showing more giant robot vs giant monsters an boats as bats action. I love it. Yep. That’s all I got. Watch it in HD. GO!

Micro Mayhem! from Stoopid Buddy Stoodios on Vimeo.

Top Gear posted this awesome video today on Facebook. It’s called Micro Mayhem and it’s by Stoopid Buddies Stoodios, the people behind Robot Chicken. This is the best, and only Micro Machines animated toy car chase video I’ve ever seen. That said, I’d love to see many more!

Project Kronos from Hasraf HaZ Dulull on Vimeo.

Project Kronos is an amazing short sci-fi film I found today on Vimeo, and produced by Masked Frame Pictures. It’s well shot, has fantastic sound design and motion graphics, not to mention a great and well written story. Enjoy, and I’ll see you in the future.

Tokyo City Symphony

May 1st, 2013

Tokyo City Symphony is an amazing music, video, improvisational experience. What you do is use your keyboard to play the music samples and 3D projection mapping on a small model of the city. You record it and share to Facebook and Twitter and you can watch yours along with everybody else’s on the site. I only wish it would record to a file or an individual Youtube link.

I love Jeremy’s poster for this month’s PANIC! and I think a lot of other people did too as it was stolen off the walls of Beauty Bar a couple of times. Here’s some of the rest of the photos from the night. I enjoyed my set and love that people danced to the new SULK tune “Flowers”. I’m all about playing new music and bringing in new artists into our sets.

Pacific Rim – Con Footage

April 30th, 2013

I didn’t think I could be more excited about Pacific Rim but this trailer from WonderCon is just amazing. Damn. It looks like Guillermo Del Toro has set a new standard here. There’s a lot of robot vs monster action in this trailer and goddamn, the ending shots of the robot using a fucking giant boat like a baseball bat against a monster made me laugh with joy. The fact that I just typed that last sentence makes me smile.

Pacific Rim opens July 12, 2013. See you at the theater.
