Air Ducts with Freddie Wong

Air Ducts with Freddie Wong

Freddie Wong takes to the air ducts in his latest video. He conducts a stealth ankle shooting mission inside some air ducts, just like a real action movie star! Crawling through the ventilation shafts isn’t as easy as it looks. Freddie finds out the hard way. Metal Gear fans will get a kick out of this Solid Snake-like mission.

See more Freddie action in Claymores.

Asthma Tech : short film

Asthma Tech : short film

Filmmaker Jonathan Ng turns the notion of otherness on its head in his semi-autobiographical animated short about young, whimsical, asthmatic Winston. His asthma prevents him from participating in everyday activities such as gym and recess with the rest of his classmates. To cope, he spends most of his time indoors drawing and discovers a fantasy world where his medical burdens become his method of flight. Then one rainy day, Winston and all his classmates become trapped inside. Winston charms and dazzles his peers and lets them all in on his special talent. He learns that his imagination has the power to bridge gaps, transform and empower.

The 7 minute short is directed by Jonathan Ng.

Backseat Driver, the first product introduced by ToyToyota, is an iPhone application which allows users to enjoy driving from the back seat of their car. It is the world’s first mobile application that you can enjoy driving from the backseat of your car. You can take a virtual drive linked by GPS to your actual driving root.

The player controlling My Car follows Papa Car, whose moves mirror the route of the real car in which the player is riding, using the iPhone’s GPS functionality. By steering My Car left and right to follow Papa Car’s path and pick up objects, the player can score points. Backseat Driver offers the passenger a new way to enjoy the driving.

The route that you took will be saved automatically so that you can review it.

You can gain points by collecting the items Papa Car drops, and the Landmark Icons of shops and facilities that are from the real maps. After you gained some points, you can customize your car with your own designs. The designs of your car and the saved route you took can be shared via Twitter.
