The video for ‘Moving’ by Travis created by Matt Robinson and Tom Wrigglesworth featuring back-projected animations that are only made visible by the breath of the band exhaled in the -1ºC air.
Here’s how they did it.

In an attempt to quit his two-packs-a-day 26 year smoking habit, 42-year-old İbrahim Yücel from the western Turkish province of Kütahya has taken to wearing a helmet-like wire cage on his head, locked on two sides.
According to Hurriyet Daily News, İbrahim’s been wearing the thing since last Friday, and managed to make it through the weekend without smoking.
No word on how he’s done since.

Let the star spangled banner fly high,
For today is the fourth of July,
When millions of yanks,
Gather round and give thinks,
For your mother and for apple pie.

1987 Renault 4: “A common sight on Irish roads in the past was the Renault 4 and these were even used by the Department of Posts & Telegraphs. A huge production span of over thirty years means that millions have been produced. An interesting feature on these vans was the column gear-change (gearstick beside the dashboard). Although the van was most popular in Ireland, the car was originally a small hatchback and exists in other body styles too.”
Ford Mustang: “The Ford Mustang Mk 1 was put into production in 1964 becoming one of the most popular cars to ever grace the roads and spurring on a host of imitators. This is the GT model which is a fastback version and visually based on the high-performance Shelby Mustang.”
1976 Citroen CX: “Citroen have always had an avant-garde twist to their styling that is all the while quintessentially French. The CX is no exception with it’s long front, curved rear and hydro-pneumatic suspension system. This is one of the earlier models but they were built up until 1992 with very few major styling changes. It was replaced by the Citroen XM.”
