This stop motion music video, created by Dropbear, aka Jonanthan Chong, for the Melbourne indie-folk band Hudson, is made almost entirely from colored pencils! Not only is the song, ‘Against The Grain’, great but the video is really amazing.
“Light,” a short film directed by David Parker of Sunday/Paper, is a beautiful short film that intends to bring awareness to the ridiculous amount of electricity we waste through lighting unused spaces.
David Parker, “Bleeding, crying lights were meant to metaphorically parallel the way in which we invisibly squander our natural resources without much thought. While the original sentiment remains, the film also grew into a poetic statement about a world run amok and the human tendency to exploit that which we hold dear.”
Dimitris Ladopoulos is a talented film maker, illustrator and designer working in Athens, Greece creating beautiful things. His latest project, a short film called The Carpenter, is the first of a series of shorts Dimitris plans on doing in which he looks at the art & science of professionals working with their hands. His talent behind the camera is matched equally by his ability to add elegant motion graphics over the footage to explain the details within each shot.
The four original videos that were part of the EF Language School’s “Live The Language” series were really something and the three new ones they have recently completed are nothing short of spectacular. The three new videos, Sydney, Vancouver and Los Angeles add some subtle color to the motion graphics but mostly hold true to the original videos.
As if any of needed anymore reason to wish we were attending Hyper Island’s program! During fall 2010 Hyper Island asked market researcher NEPA to conduct a student and employer survey to find out about student & employee satisfaction, map skills developed by the students, and see where students were going after the program.
The culmination is this great little animation done by Claudio Salas with voice overs by Madeleine Fia Matsson.
I’m a huge fan of everything Merimekko. The video takes you through the printing process of some of their more familiar prints. That screen printing set up it mind-blowing!
If you ever wondered what goes into making a bike by hand, “FROM STEEL: The Making of a Soulcraft” is perfect for you. Director/Videographer Michael John Evans takes you through the entire process with Sean Walling, owner of Soulcraftin this beautifully shot film that shows you how Soulcraft transforms the raw materials into something amazing. The film is part of a series Michael John Evans is working on in which he strives to “visually portray “the zone” which one enters when their craft is honed.”
10 Things I Have learned About The Sea is a beautiful video by Italian director Lorenzo Fonda. The personal project was cobbled together using footage Lorenzo shot while traveling between Los Angles and Shanghai aboard the vessel “Portland Senator”. The film is slow moving but amazingly beautiful and anyone who has a love for the ocean will appreciate it.
Ok, so earlier this month I was convinced that I wanted to return to France this summer for vacation, but now I’m thinking that Liz and I need to go to Iceland. This video is part of a program created by Inspired By Iceland, a website by the Icelandic office of tourism, that gives people the opportunity to tell the world why they love Iceland so much! Thanks SwissMiss for finding this one!
Here are four amazingly beautiful short videos for EF (Education First) Language School’s “Live The Language” campaign. The shorts feature amazing typography, breathtaking shots and music that will be stuck in your head all day after watching all four. Immediately after viewing these, I found myself checking flights to Paris and Barcelona. Liz, we may have a vacation coming up soon.
