Charlie Todd is the founder of Improv Everywhere. You will have seen some of their work even if you don’t realise it. The No Pants Subway ride is probably their most famous. Here Charlie talks you through what they do. Awesome work. Happy weekend!
Natalie Warne didn’t let her young age stop her from running a successful campaign for Invisible Children. This is one of the most inspiring TED lectures we have come across to date.
We could make a poignant comment about privacy concerns, or our insecurity in the modern, digital age. But that wouldn’t be cool would it? This Surveillance Chandelier is cool though, luckily.

BAFTA Awards 2012
It’s the BAFTA’s this weekend, celebrating another year of great film. There are some brilliant films nominated this year including Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and of course the one everyone has been talking about recently, The Artist. But what about those films that didn’t quite cut the mustard? Maybe you have come across a couple of gems that have gone under the radar of the BAFTA’s? Orange have been supporting the BAFTA’s for many years, and are known for their sponsorship of the cinema from their famous Orange Wednesday offer with 2 for 1 cinema tickets if you text FILM to 241 from your Orange phone and show the code to the ticketer at your local cinema, to Orange Film To Go (http://filmtogo.orange.co.uk) that let’s customers download a new film from iTunes each Thursday.
We’re wondering if anyone has come across a hidden gem of a film this year that no one is talking about? We know we did…
We’re really happy to see both Drive and Senna getting some recognition this year as both these films had us gripped to our seats.
Drive
A story of a man who can, well, Drive. He Drives for the movies (only part time) and for money (but he doesn’t carry a gun). An adventure unfolds beneath an incredible sound track which sees you flying back through the 80’s in a haze of electro and new wave. Dialogue is short and sweet, but the cinematography and that sound track really make up for it. Ryan Gosling gives one of his finest performances alongside Carey Mulligan. Be warned - it’s more grusome than the trailer let’s on.
Senna
We don’t have to say too much about this documentary. Even if you don’t like F1 or motorsport, even if you don’t know who Senna is, this one is worth a watch. It tells the story of infamous F1 driver Aryton Senna who perrished at the Imola Grand Prix track in the 90’s. Through footage, and interviews with family and friends you are taken on an emotional journey through the rise and untimely fall of this talented racing driver.
Our personal pick of last year’s films are TT3D: Closer to the Edge and Perfect Sense. Neither are nominated, but both are worth a watch. Here’s why…
TT3D: Close to the Edge
Sticking with documentatries this one is not to be missed. The Isle of Man TT is annual motorbike race around the streets of the Isle of Man. It is considered one of the most, if not THE most deadly races in the world. One man, Guy Martin, is the trophy boy for the nutcases that jump on a bike and do the race. These guys and girls aren’t professional racers, but are just your average everyday mechanics and office workers who, once a year, don their leathers and risk their lives for the thrill of it. This documentary follows their journey, and takes you with them for the ride of a life time.
Perfect Sense
What would you do if one by one your senses dissapeared? This film sees Ewan McGregor and Eva Green come face to face with that reality whilst falling in love. Sounds soppy, but what it actually equates to is a powerful and thought provoking drama that has you gripped from the very beginning. Relatively low budget and a bit of an indie film, both actors and their support play their characters brilliantly and you are left with a sense of hoping you never have to face that reality yourself.
Make sure you catch the BAFTA’s on Sunday 12th February and visit Orange Film Pulse to review films and check out what’s hot for this year’s lineup!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a mosquito? No, it’s three custom made flying aircraft shaped like humans flying around the NYC skyline to promote a new film called Chronicle. Just the latest campaign to go viral, thanks Thinkmodo.
