Crushing hard on Texas-based Explosions In The Sky's new vid for Postcard from 1952. The promo is directed by very talented couple Annie Gunn & Peter Simonite (who was 2nd unit cinematographer on Tree of Life). It's over 7 minutes long but very much worth sticking with. Gorgeous stuff.
Check out this 'making of' video as well.

Love this. 'Type City' is a recent artwork by Hong Seong Jang, who has recreated a large cityscape using metal (lead) typography pieces from old printing presses.

We've been fans of genius French writer/director Michel Gondry for tiiiime, and his latest film looks right up our street. The We and The I is a coming-of-age story set on the final bus ride home for a group of young graduating high-school students.
Most of the film is set on the bus, which seems like a challenging premise, but the trailer is very promising indeed, check it out:

Getting to know + getting to love Minneapolis-based artist Brock Davis (aka Laser Bread) and his quirky work, which seeks to reinterpret ordinary objects and surroundings through a whimsical lens - such as the 'banana peel trucker hat (for bananas)' featured above, or his 'monarch on soda cracker raft' below.

Let's kick off the week with something we're very proud of - it's our latest ad for Hyundai's i20, directed by the ohsoveryawesome Kim Jacobs. A great deal of hard work went into showcasing the car's intelligent sensory features, as a woman drives through different road conditions.
"The spot was an evolution in every sense", says Kim. "Creatively, we had to figure out how to make this story work, whilst working entirely on a stage. It was technically challenging, but mostly inspiring to see all the elements come into play."
Choreographed driving shots, puppeteering, hit cues, lighting and the use of a staged roller rig were used to project a continual sequence of movement, and we think you'll agree that the result speaks for itself. The ad is live on air now across 26 European countries. Here's the director's cut:
