Blue Notes

August 27, 2010 // Design + Music + Video

Reid Miles’ amazing Blue Note album covers recreated… IN 3D!!!!!!! Seeing good type done with video is refreshing. It’s usually so half-assed and slapped on—especially with subtitles. Man On Fire got it right, though. Somebody needs to rip this idea off and make their movie’s opening titles in this fashion. I would pay multiple American dollars to see that.

Cee Lo // F**k You

August 24, 2010 // Music + Video

For some reason, I always think that Cee Lo is just a really short fat martian but gee golly is he able to make some catchy tunes. His latest video is fantastic and terribly NSFW in the area of hilarious profanity. And though it’s a little late on the typographic After Effects movement, the video is really well done and utilizes some lovely condensed type.

But seriously, try not to giggle at the back up singers’ gold digger parts.

Can you fall in love with a shell? Cause that JUST HAPPENED. This here was done up by Dean Fleischer-Camp. One shiny Kudos bar to you, sir.

Shinya Kimura

August 13, 2010 // Design + Inspiration + Video

This is a gem of a short video done up by Henrik Hansen. The editing and sound design in particular are superb. Listening to Kimura talk is pretty inspiring. His bikes are beautiful and through the film, you can see how much care he puts into his craft. It’s who he is. Now if he could just ship one of those babies over here, it’d be just peachy. Riding one would make me such a badass that I’d be able to get away with using the term “peachy”.

Between Bears

August 9, 2010 // Animation + Film + Illustration + Video

So for graduation from Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Eran Hilleli created this short film called Between Bears. It’s worth to watch it for the color palette alone. Very Mathew Lyons-esque. Upon posting of this video, I immediately felt really small and untalented and unaccomplished. Thanks, Eran. Thanks.

Brain Farm

August 3, 2010 // Studio + Video

If there’s an example of how much music can mean to film, it’s this cinema reel by Brain Farm. While the footage itself is absolutely incredible, the first half using Imogen Heap’s Hide and Seek is so well executed that I pooped my pants for the second time today. It almost made me forget about how Jason Derulo tried his hardest to ruin the aforementioned song.

Thanks, Paul Mayne.

NPR and the Magnetic Zeros

August 1, 2010 // Music + Video

I can’t get enough of Jade Castrinos in this video. She’s like this little kid that couldn’t be happier being where she is at that very moment. And her voice is amazing. It makes me want to quit everything I’m doing, grow a beard, get a backpack and walk to Los Angeles.

The version of Home they do is incredible as well.

Tory’s Whisky

July 29, 2010 // Illustration + Video

This is a 1960′s ad for Tory’s Whiskey animated by Ryohei Yanagihara. I’m a big fan of Yanagihara’s style. It’s fun and carefree with a smart choice of colors. This commercial makes my inner 10-year-old want to go get hammered. As that’s impossible, maybe I’ll just go give some booze to a 10-year-old. That’s cool, right?

Animal Collective // Lion In A Coma

July 7, 2010 // Music + Video

This isn’t the official video for this song, but it damn well should be. Ori Toor created it (As a frame by frame animation in flash, no less. Crazy.) for his final project at the Shenkar School of Engineering and Design. It’s like all my Twizzlers and Mike N Ikes (and their lovable but slow cousin, Good N Plenty) got together, dropped acid, and decided to reenact a billion years of evolution.
