Nike Human Chain

Everybody gets knocked down, how quick are you going to get up? Excellent spot for Nike by agency Wieden+Kennedy, Portland, directed by Brian Beletic at Smuggler, and visual effects by MassMarket.

It especially interesting to notice that Nike is representing sports outside of their normal realm—MMA, bmx, and bull riding.

“Rusty Nails” by Moderate

Lately I have been drawn to creative executions that use simple and minimal elements to tell a story. Design collective PFADFINDEREI based in Berlin, Germany used a combination of fabric, wind, well placed lights, dancers and illustrations for German music artist Moderate.

PFADFINDEREI’s other work is fantastic—their commissioned art installation for Nike, Yellow Lounge room design, film for Volvo DrivE, and various typefaces.

Look At Me

Shot entirely with the Canon 7D over three days, Patrick Lawler put together an interesting and beautiful film. I love all of the close-up shots of the eyes using the Canon 100mm macro f/2.8 lens. Hopefully Canon release the firmware update soon to allow for 60fps on the 5D Mark II as well.

Whale Song by Modest Mouse

Bent Image Lab just completed this exceptionally dark and beautiful film for the indie-rock band Modest Mouse. The piece merges live action, stop motion, visual effects and motion graphics to bring the mood of the song to life.

Video Concept:
”After entering his personal sanctuary, an artist is presented with a hand-crafted drawing tool that assists him in materializing his mental impressions. The machine discharges his thoughts as an endless web of yarn that guides him through his physical thoughts. The story progresses to reveal that he is divided between two worlds, one of dull reality and the second of warped memories. In the process of finding a way out of his consciousness, he is trapped between the two competing spaces, which eventually inflict lethal damage, acting as metaphors to self-destruction.”
