Just having a little fun with the 5 hours of Adriana Lima video. Using Apple's Quartz Composer and Adobe After Effects, I've created this surreal kaleidoscope video for the monitors in our lobby at work. The most amazing parts are when the checkered flag comes into view. The checkers and the kaleidoscope effect make for some stunning imagery.
The overall effect helps to confirm that Adriana Lima is indeed an extra terrestrial from another planet.

Video Kaleidoscope Star Screen Saver Sample

There were a lot of requests for a Screen Saver version of "5 Hours of Adriana Lima" amongst the YouTube video comments. In response, I've designed these Macintosh OS X video screen savers that dynamically create a 5-point star or triangular Kaleidoscopic view of any Quicktime MOV, MP4 or M4V.
Above are YouTube video samples of what the screen savers look like. View full screen to get the full effect.
Sorry that there are no Windows versions of the screen savers. If you happen to create them, I will be happy to provide links.
(installation instructions included within 260mb ZIP)
(to use with your own videos. installation instructions included within 4.5mb ZIP)
Please keep in mind that these screen savers are very processor intensive. They are created purely for entertainment purposes.

Super Bowl Ad Spoiler Alert!
Below are a few good words about our latest work at DNG, and my personal labor of love "Five Hours of Adriana Lima" (seen above). All of this organically generated buzz with no seeding, and no media dollars. Simply upload a video of smokin' hot Brazilian super model Adriana Lima in a bikini waving a flag in super slo-mo for 5 straight hours.
"The ultimate in Super Bowl ad teasers"
"You've already seen all the Super Bowl ads. Just watch this for five hours on Sunday."
"The title is pretty self-explanatory. To build up hype for its Super Bowl commercial, Kia apparently decided the 15-second teasers all over broadcast television weren't enough."
As Creativity "Pick of the Day" we actually beat out last year's ad poll winner Volkswagon, who posted their Super Bowl spot the same day.
"Kia makes one of the smartest marketing moves we’ve seen this year."
"Thankfully, Kia’s marketing teams have a viral bone inside them, and they released something really amazing: five hours of Adriana waving a flag wearing a bikini and high-heels."
"Yes, 5 Hours. Well done Kia, well done."
"Kia is on a roll. ... And now they’ve had the marketing genius to stick Adriana Lima in front of a camera and wave a flag… for FIVE hours."
Video of the day.
"Calling, Don Draper. Has Madison Ave. run out of ideas? Might this “campaign†be so bizarre that it is actually genius?"
"Kia just published the longest Super Bowl Ad teaser in history. 5 Hours of Adriana Lima is just that."
"Four hours, fifty-nine minutes and 30 seconds more flag waving that is strictly necessary."
"Creating a 5 hour clip of Adriana Lima's (spot) cameo and putting it on YouTube is brilliant."
"Kia actually understands the YouTube audience in a way that few brands manage."
Here's a link the YouTube Brand Channel archive on This Moment's servers, so you can experience it yourself. (Please disregard the giant type in the video posters and thumbnails. Kia added this after the campaign was over.)
