Concurs De Castells
Apr 25, 2013From the 2012 Concurs de Castells, a human tower-building competition in Tarragona, Spain, watch this video by photographer David Oliete.
A long tradition in the region, castells began at the end of the 18th century. The sport has rules, techniques, and team responsibilities to guard safety and success. The pinya or base is made of a few hundred people that can catch anyone who falls, and the tower itself has a variety of different formations. The top three levels are the pom de dalt, made up of children in helmets.
30 Days of Animation
Apr 23, 2013A character in a moment, one created each day for 30 consecutive days, animated as an exercise of skill and imagination by UK-based animator Geoff King. He writes:
“It was difficult to even think of what to animate most days. I spent a few hours on average for each day, sometimes it felt like all day. I originally intended to do them quicker but they usually didn’t get going till the late evening. This also meant all the days where only ‘first passes’ or ‘straight aheads’. After the first 5 days I realised I should try to maintain a reasonable quality. It wasn’t easy, a lot of time was spent hitting a wall but I had fun trying something different everyday.”
DIY.org
Apr 11, 2013Here’s a new promo for the fabulous website DIY.org. What we find so awesome about the site is the way it takes the idea of learning a new skill and turns the process into a game. We’re a big fan of fun & games here at Raskullz, and couldn’t be more stoked on the way they’ve taken the power of fun to the next level.
Fashion Animals
Apr 4, 2013We thought the Raskullz crew was the most stylish pack of animals on the internet. From Princess Meow’s tiara to Shark Attax’ board shorts, but it looks like we’ll have to humbly accept second place to these dapper danimals:

HUMAN PIANO

The Art of Balance
Mar 27, 2013If you thought learning to balance on a bike for the first time was hard, you should take a look at this short film by Tobias Hutzler. “Balance” perfectly conveys the tension in the room of such a performance.
