To Protect and Serve (Doughnuts, That is)

Posted by Alex in Food & Drinks on July 7, 2009 at 1:24 pm

When a local bakery got in economic trouble, the brave officers of the Michigan police department swooped in to protect it: they bought their favorite doughnut shop and re-named it Cops & Doughnuts!

"To Protect and Serve" has taken on a new meaning for the Clare Police Department.

When officers heard that the Clare City Bakery was closing its doors, they protected the business from certain demise.

Now, they’re serving up doughnuts. [...]

In addition to doughnuts, cookies, muffins, brownies, bread, fruit turnovers and other baked goods, the bakery sells mugs and T-shirts bearing the "Cops & Doughtnuts, 100 Percent Cop-Owned" logo on the backs, and "You Have the Right to Remain Glazed," and "Handcuffs and Cream Puffs" on the fronts.

Philips Carousel is a short film by Adam Berg and Stink Digital (music by Michael Fakesch) to promote the company’s new movie theater-proportioned 21:9 LCD television set (the clip itself is 2:19, get it?).

Whether or not you like the concept (cops vs. clowns – really?), it’s hard to resist the quot;one take" stopped motion special effects.

There’s even an interactive feature over at Philips Carousel website:

The 2 minute 19 second cinematic feature is filmed in one continuous tracking shot and offers an exploration into the world of movies being made for the cinema screen through the eyes of the director and the special effects and lighting experts. During playback of the movie, users have interactive touch points in which they can access additional content and feature demonstrations.
