today and tomorrow

“What’s that sound? I like that sound. I love that sound.”
“It is the sound of my shoes.”
This is the new music video for “Shoes” by Tiga, it was directed by Alex and Liane.

Do you remember the music video for “Squeez Me” by Kraak & Smaak? The one with all those flipbooks. FOX Italy asked the directors Superelectric to create some TV idents for the CULT channel. Great stuff!

This is damn great video mashup: “Love Will Tear Us Apart, Again” by Brian Wibson.
I could not describe it better than Clayton Cubitt:

Watch and feel your initial LOL turn into a life-altering trance.

A while ago I posted a video called Displacements by Michael Naimark. He basically filmed a room, then he spray-painted it completely white and in the end he projected the video back on those white objects in the room.
I was always wondering when this visual gimmick would be used for a TV commercial. Well, the waiting is over: “Puma Lift“. The New York ad agency Droga5 made this film where you can see a couple moving through different virtual sceneries. In the end they reveal that the whole room and the clothing was actually white and that it was a projection.
I think that the film is great, it was probably a lot of work to get the movements and the projection in sync. But they could have presented this film to any other brand, it is very generic.
You should watch it anyway!

“Marc Newson: Urban Spaceman” is the title of an episode of Imagine, a cultural TV show on the BBC. Marc Newson is one of the most famous designers around. His style is quite particular, I actually only like a few of his designs. Nevertheless, I guess I’ll watch the other 4 parts of this documentary too. It’s always nice to gain some insight.

Jonathan Jarvis did an amazing job visualizing and explaining the current credit crisis. Watch it: The Crisis of Credit Visualized, 11 minutes and 10 seconds well invested!

“A Communications Primer” is film made by Ray & Charles Eames in 1953. You’ve guessed it, it’s about communication.

Datamoshing is how you call the video technique in this music video “Evident Utensil” for the band Chairlift. I would still call it digital glitches, but datamoshing sounds better (than the music in this video). So no, this video is not f*cked up, Ray Tintori of Court 13 who directed it, did it on purpose.

2 weeks ago, adidas celebrated its 60th birthday with a true house party in Berlin. The interior decoration was done with much love to details, as these images prove. The food and drinks were in sync the theme and the DJ’s rocked the place. So here is video of the party, it is basically impossible to capture a real party on film.

On January 29th, 2009 adidas and No 74 celebrated 60 years of Soles and Stripes with an exclusive House Party. The adidas No 74 store was redesigned to resemble a real apartment including kitchenette, bath- and living room and decorated with several lovely details such as framed images of Adi Dassler and supporters from the past sixty years of adidas history. Local DJs joined the party with a mix of great hip hop tunes, funk and electro music. Watch the video & Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us!
