Invisible Box Challenge Viral Trend

#invisibleBoxChallenge
The reigniting of the invisible box challenge started after the cheer leader for The Manvel Mavericks attempted it and tweeted it after which the internet made it viral on December 1, 2017.
Cheerleader Ariel Olivar was quoted as saying, "My football team, The Manvel Mavericks, played their round three of playoffs game at Waller Stadium against Cedar Park High School. Just before the game, my cheer team recalled the original video on Twitter and we decided to try it out. We all started trying it and I only did it a few times and supposedly it was pretty good. We decided to record it for the fun of it so I posted it on my snapchat story. The idea of the 'part two' came from my teammate where she 'kicked the box' out from under me."
Below is the original Tweet by Ariel Olivar on Twitter

She followed it up with part 2 which was equally hilarious & creative.

Then the trend went world wide and people started attempting & posting over Twitter, Instagram or Youtube. Have a look at the variety of similar videos compilations below. You can see others learning how to do it or get to learn yourself.

Animated Short: Le Gouffre (The Gulf)

Photo Courtesy to Lightning Boy Studio
Le Gouffre is the first animated short film produced and directed by Lightning Boy Studio, a young creative team based in Montreal. The film tells the story of two spirited travelers who come across an incredibly wide chasm on their journey and decide to build a bridge to cross it. Released in February 2015, the project had first gained a lot of attention following the huge success of its Kickstarter campaign, which allowed the creators to finance the movie’s post-production. Many were impressed by the passion and determination of the small team of three animators, who spent more than two full years creating the 10-minute film.
As of now, Le Gouffre has been selected in more than 60 festivals around the world and won nine awards, four of them for “Best Animated Short”. For the complete list of selections and awards, please head over to the Awards page.

The Team
Lightning Boy Studio was born in 2012 out of a shared passion: to tell great stories. The three founders met in animation school in 2009 and have dreamed ever since to be able to work together on projects of their own. Le Gouffre was the result of their first collaboration.

Photo Courtesy to Shadow of War
The epic live action trailer in itself is great as we get to see some amazing footages (Middle Earth Universe) but to drop an interactive trailer so as we get the message of where the story is moving towards, is downright genius. Down below is the Teaser for the Shadow of War, Friend or Foe.

The live action trailer really sets the mood with the settings of Mordor and that too in the middle of the battlefield and leading a fight between the humans and the orcs. Released on 18/09/2017

This time the setting of the fight is with human leading an army of orcs (army of Orcs amass under the rule of man) against the orcs that are invading Mordor.

The interactive part of the trailer is the choices that one makes; as nothing will be forgotten. One needs to go through the choices in the trailer to know what choices will be available during the game. We get the choice of choosing our Nemesis.
