Neue Digitale / Razorfish developed the first realtime 3d configurator for Microsoft Surface which was showcased at this year’s IAA - the world’s leading automotive fair.
Here’s a video I took back in 2007. It’s a live performance of DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist performing “The Hard Sell” set @ the Hollywood Bowl.
A few weeks after I posted this video on YouTube, someone claiming to be DJ Shadow’s manager sent me a cease and desist. The email basically instructed me to stop promoting my bootlegged DVD, or they will be forced to take legal action. After I told the dude that the video was taken with my point and shoot camera, I never heard back from him - whatevas.
This video currently has over 31K views.
