Steampunk meets Sin City's visual style in the video by Soapbox Films for Ben Lovett's Eye of the Storm:
And here, director Christopher Alender and producer Kris Eber give an in-depth behind the scenes look (Lovett is the pilot and his scarf was puppeteered to simulate wind):
1. I highly, highly recommend watching the interactive film by Chris Milk for the Arcade Fire's The Wilderness Downtown on Chrome. It's a taste of the future of highly personalized entertainment experiences.
2. Almost time for the new season of Clone Wars. Get in the mood with Katie Cook's instructions for drawing the Zillo Beast.
3. Sounds like a good set up for a tv show: "Mafia kingpins from the former Soviet Union have moved into the French Riviera and are taking over with 'quasi-military' precision." Via.

Intriguing trailer for upcoming video game The Curfew, which was inspired by real life curfew enforcement announcements like the one you see above:
Once it's released, The Curfew will be a point-and-click adventure webgame in the same style as Littleloud'sBow Street Runner.

The song in the trailer is Wolf Like Me by TV on the Radio (which is so good, it threatens to overshadow the action). Here's the werewolf-filled video for the song:
Here's the video for The Ghost Inside by Broken Bells (a song I recommended a couple of months ago, I might add), starring Christina Hendricks. It's a pretty good scifi short story. Via.
