SOLIPSIST by Andrew Huang who is a commercial and music video director living in Los Angeles. A tour de force from a production point of view. The storyboard is somewhat weird and beautiful and disturbing and since it is an experimental short – nothing is spared. Under water themed there is no storyline per se.
Winner at SLAMDANCE 2012 of the Special Jury Prize for Experimental Short.

And the little people are back! Fantastic logo installation for “Gent Scheppende Stad” (Ghent Creative City). Objective was together with several creative forces/different sectors of society to look for solutions for the urban challenges, so they can shape the future of the City.
Not only constructed in 3d – all letters have interconnected staging areas covering daily activities in a city.
Superb storyboarding / production by Coming Soon.
Now ain’t that a fun job or what?

Mr. B’s website is what a collection of products should be about. Luxurious expanse of empty mixed in a subdued palette and gorgeous photography.
Love some of their copy – which is probably applicable to design at large as well:
Classic. It isn’t old. It isn’t retro. And it definitely isn’t sentimental for some bygone era. Classic has one foot in then and one foot in now. And always will. Classic evolves but doesn’t age. Classic isn’t a style, yet classic is never out of style. Classic doesn’t suddenly become classic again; classic is forever.

Photography and imagery by Carl Kleiner. His flat – dangling – suspended shots are perfect. Perfect lighting. Perfect staging.

Bodydigital edito for Amusement magazine by Alexis Raimbault is a genial concept whereas neutral staging / clothing play off the intersecting tekkie toys. Must see.
