The Agoraphobic Traveller: Seeing the World with Google Street View
Jacqui Kenny is not your typical everyday photographer, running under the name of The Agoraphobic Traveller, she is suffering from agoraphobia. What is it? It’s a type of anxiety disorder in which you fear and avoid places or situations that might cause you to panic for example. So she decided to travel the world through Google Street View, she scattered places like Chile, Mongolia, and Senegal with accumulating over more than 27,000 photos.
The Agoraphobic Traveller is Jacqui Kenny; a London-based photographer that uses Google Street View to travel the world. Check out more of her work on Instagram.
Agoraphobia & anxiety limit my ability to travel, so I’ve found another way to see the world #GoogleStreetView

Illustrator Tutorial: Colorful & Abstract Illustrations
Illustrator Tutorial: Colorful & Abstract Illustrations
Mostafa Abd ELsattar shared a really cool project on his Behance profile where he teaches with an Illustrator tutorial video how he created some incredible illustration of birds and patterns. It’s not conventional illustration, it’s a very abstract sand colorful set of artworks. I was definitely learned a lot from the video and that’s the reason I decided to post here on Abduzeedo. You probably still remember that we used to post a lot of tutorials on the site. We moved a bit away from that because we thought they were getting a bit too repetitive but by looking at Mostafa’s work I am 100% sure that I was completely wrong.
Check out the illustrations first and in the end you can see the Illustrator tutorial video. Also make sure to check Mostafa’s work. He is a self-taught illustrator and Graphic Designer, who spend most of his time learning and experimenting new stuff in the digital art field. His profile on Behance can be found at https://www.behance.net/Mostafa_Abd_Elsattar

Editorial Design & Graphic Design for Budweiser and Barbecue Book
Editorial Design & Graphic Design for Budweiser and Barbecue Book
Henrique Folster shared a super interesting post on his Behance profile that definitely deserved a feature here on Abduzeedo. There’s not a lot of information about the project with some amazing imagery to compliment. It’s an editorial design but also graphic design and illustration effort by a collective of individuals for what seems to be a book about Budweiser and Barbecue. What really impressed me was the variety of styles throughout the images. The style spans a mix of modern and minimalist to classic 90s David Carson end of print type of compositions. There’s a lot to love about it and it is definitely an inspiration. I hope one day I will be able to design a blog like this. Maybe in the future but until then get inspired by this great project.

Watch: How to Create Suspense Using Music
Want to ramp up the suspense in your film? Here are some ways to do it with music.
When it comes to horror flicks and thrillers, it’s all about building suspense. Creating a tense cinematic experience that puts your audience at the edge of their seat can be done in many ways, but one element that seems to really speak to the fear center of a movie-goer’s brain is music. So, what are some techniques professional filmmakers and music composers use when writing film scores to build tension and suspense? Well, StudioBinder shares a few of them in the video below.
There are many ways to build suspense with music, but the following three techniques from StudioBinder are definitely some of the most popular. In fact, chances are you’ve heard at least one (if not all) of them in pretty much every horror film or thriller you’ve ever seen.

Dear Filmmakers, Study More than Film
So, you eat, sleep, and breath cinema, huh?
Okay, so you’re an expert on Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, Andrei Tarkovsky, and Steven Spielberg. You like Ozu and Kurosawa, know the dance from Bande à part, and can spell Eadweard Muybridge without googling it. You, my friend, know your shit about cinema. But still, despite the hundreds of film books and screenplays you’ve read and thousands of films you’ve seen, there may be so much more information you’re failing to feed your brain. Andrew Saladino of The Royal Ocean Film Society suggests that while having an encyclopedic knowledge of and insatiable interest in cinema is great, expanding your education beyond it might actually be the best thing you could do as a filmmaker.

All the Times ‘Stranger Things’ Referenced Movies and TV Shows
From “E.T.” to “Commando,” these are the movie and TV references from “Stranger Things.”
For as much as Stranger Things is a show about alternate dimensions and the terrifying Demogorgon, it’s also a show about nostalgia. To give it that realistic, wistful feel, the show is packed with popular music, food, and video games from the 1980s, effectively transporting you back to a time when a BMX bike and a backpack full of bologna sandwiches could take you anywhere. However, Stranger Things also reminds us of the iconic films of the 80s as well through stylized shots and sequences that match the originals almost perfectly. In this video by Fandor, we get to see all of show’s movie and TV references that pay homage to a bygone time in cinema.
Okay, calling some of these shots references might be a bit of a stretch, but it’s definitely clear that Stranger Things is not shy about paying homage to films like The Goonies, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Alien, and of course, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

‘A Gray State’: How Erik Nelson Unraveled a Triple Murder Conspiracy in His Herzog-Produced True Crime Doc
Director Erik Nelson calls his film ‘The Shining’ meets ‘Grizzly Man.’
In a sea of recent true-crime docs, Erik Nelson’s A Gray State stands apart as a truly riveting psychological drama, complete with widespread conspiracy theories, political currents, and penultimate tragedy.
The story revolves around an Iraq War vet and aspiring filmmaker named David Crowley, who went from patriot to skeptic during his two tours in Iraq, and made a DIY trailer for an ambitious dystopian feature film about a not-that-far-from-reality future where the government has trampled all over civil rights and the people are in armed revolt. Unsurprisingly, this trailer spread wildly via internet conspiracy theorists and tea party activists. Suddenly, Crowley was becoming the voice of a movement and his film was poised to receive real Hollywood funding.

Watch: The Cartoon That Started Internet Animation
Sometimes, a simple idea can start an entire movement.
Why do certain things have staying power, while others do not? In some cases, it’s because of their simplicity. If an idea is smart enough, it doesn’t have to be super-complicated or have lots of bells and whistles to gain popularity. Internet animation, by now an entertainment staple, is a good example. Its beginnings were modest indeed, but clever.
If you don’t like the rules, make your own game.
This new video essay by Alex Myers tells the story of the roots of phenomena like Bojack Horseman—which lie with a simple cartoon called Homestar Runner. Check out the video, and our takeaways about the keys to the cartoon’s success, below.
