The Crystal Beach notified me of this bizarre little video they directed and produced for the Columbus single ‘Hubble’. I wasn’t sure what to make of it at first but after watching it more than once it got some hooks in me. You can catch the full production credits at the Vimeo page for the video.

Why don’t we just get this short week started off correctly (short week for those of us who had Monday off for Memorial Day here in the states anyway). And what better way to do that then with a little video by Barbariön titled ‘My Rock’ that should help you “quench your soul in the river of fortitude” and “fly high above the eagle’s nest.” How can you say no to that or this video?

Sid Lee is a phenom of an agency that is cranking out rock solid creative for everything from retail space design, motion, live action, art direction, branding and graphic design. All of it is good. It’s Snoop Dog with a light saber good. Yes you heard me right.

Must Warn Others is a new local Colorado production, direction and design shop that popped up on my radar while I was out of town and our website was down and dragged through the mud (long story to come soon). I have to be honest about almost being afraid to post their work since they are some pretty heavy competition for a shop like ours but the more the merrier here in Colorado. The market needs it bad around here and a studio of this caliber is just what the doctor ordered. So I have to ask and may as well do it in this post, do you guys want to work together on something because we think you kick ass.

Sam & Sam is a London based production company who are focusing on smaller budget projects for web-based film projects which they shoot on digital DSLR. One of their first projects is an interview with illustrator Jake Blanchard who talks about his latest exhibition, Hylozoism, and reflects on the life of a freelance illustrator.
It’s a smart positioning that Sam and Sam are taking up and our studio at Changethethought have actually been pitching the same kind of project work lately.

“AKQA San Francisco asked PostPanic to help create a unique 10th anniversary thank you film to more than 1 million Google AdWords clients worldwide. The agency’s idea was to individually address each of the clients by incorporating their company name in the film visuals. PostPanic took on the challenge of creating the main film which would then be handed over complete to Google’s customization agency for clients’ name integration. Director Mischa Rozema developed AKQA’s script to include a fictitious Google research department trying out ambitious experiments to feature each advertiser. A combination of live action and vfx, the footage was filmed by PostPanic in around Google HDQ in California, before being brought back for post in Amsterdam.”
You can gather up full credits for the project here.

This video was directed by Saam Farahmand for the Klaxons single ‘Twin Flames’. Disturbing is probably an apropos adjective in this case if you want to put it mildly with a touch of sarcasm. ‘WTF’ spoken by clearly enunciating each word as opposed to saying the acronym might also be a proper response. Regardless of what you might think out loud or inward this is a strange but technically accomplished piece of art.
