Animator Craig Welch gives us a glimpse into the surreal world of a man who’s obsession is the dispassionate study, and control, of the world around him.

Happy Thanksgiving folks! Travel safely and enjoy your time with family and friends. Here in the Crow’s nest we’ll be enjoying smoked game hens (from the local smoke-house across the street) and watching a couple of the best of bad holiday cinema. First up Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead to be followed by the just released Thankskilling 3. (which is actually the second Thankskilling movie. not to worry, TK3 explains it all)

Find the first Turkey Dubstep here.

Your Friday night (occasional) rogue music video is a Machinima. There’s a little bit more live action than I generally prefer, but the melding of the game models (from gears of war and half life 2) into the real life background is done so incredibly well that it deserves a pass. Being one of my favorite Oakenfold tracks doesn’t hurt either…
