Try on a New Sofa -> Ikea Video

Ikea has always produced fresh/fun ways to promote and demo their new products online, which makes sense given that their in-store experience is all about doing just that. This video experience is pretty entertaining. The sets are probably the most impressive part to me, with each one so amazingly rich and well shot into. Cool [...]

LIFECYCLE -> 365 days in the life of a bike in NYC

This is a pretty creative take on your everyday 365 project. NYC based ‘Red Peak Branding Company’ chained a fully accessorized bicycle to a post and took a daily shot for a year. You can pretty much guess what happend, but it’s still fun to watch.

Arcade Fire -> Sprawl 2 (interactive video)

The new interactive video experience titled ‘Sprawl 2: Mountains Beyond Mountains’ coming from Arcade Fire feels really fresh and innovative, right down to the dismal, twitchy videography and art direction. In short you get to swing and sway right along with the track with either your mouse or with your own body via the video [...]

DJBroadcast 52 -> Robot Illustration

DJBroadcast 52 – Robot Illustration from Super Silo on Vimeo.

I recently came across this very entertaining timelapse photoshop illustration by Super Silo (Dutch designer, Martijn van Dam) on ilovenewwork.com. Super impressive, and fun to follow. Especially if you’re the type that gets into the fancy photoshop maneuvers.

Volvo -> xctravels.com

You’ve got to love the big budget hyper-immersive branded experiences that come from automotive industry giants like Volvo. For a designer, it’s kind of a dream to work on stuff like this. This particular experience features an inspirational deep dive for adventure seeking Volvo fanboys… the cars, the amazing destinations, the bears… it’s all there. [...]

Light -> Sunday Paper

Light from Sunday Paper on Vimeo.

Nice concept, very well executed. Definitely makes for an interesting view.

Notes from Vimeo:

““Light” a short film directed by David Parker, initially began as a project intended to bring awareness to energy waste. Bleeding, crying lights were meant to metaphorically parallel the way in which we invisibly squander our natural resources [...]

Go All Day -> Colin Kennedy

Go All Day from Colin Kennedy on Vimeo.

This is an impressive single take video, featuring some great camera work, timelapse and some pretty slick riding by Chaz Ortiz.

Notes from Vimeo:

“A single-take, short film collaboration between Gatorade and The Berrics { theberrics.com } promoting Gatorade’s ‘Go All Day’ campaign. Starring professional skateboarder and Gatorade athlete Chaz Ortiz.”

Optimo -> Fine Hats

The ‘Optimo Fine Hats’ site experience is a terrific example of online branding, story telling and product display. They obviously want customers to come away with the understanding that Optimo hats are the real deal. Quality stuff. It will be interesting to see how they design out the online store.

Novum 11/11 -> Making Of Cover by Paperlux

Novum 11/11 – Making Of Cover from Paperlux on Vimeo.

Just a fun A-Z documentary on the design process behind the Paperlux Novum 11/11 magazine cover. I really enjoy their work. Much more stellar design beyond the link below.

Picnic -> Innovation & Creativity festival

I love the branding and design work around Amsterdam based innovation and creativity festival PICNIC (September 14th – 16th). Everything from the poster to the site experience is buttoned-up and feels nice and fresh. I wish I were able to attend it this year, the lineup of speakers is pretty amazing. Be sure to have [...]

Tilt-Shift Camera -> Photojojo

I saw this affordable tilt-shift camera on a Facebook post today (by Photojojo) at lunch and thought it was pretty great. The images look solid, there are some nice embedded filters and tilt-shift always looks better when thrown by a real lens as opposed to a photoshop post effect, in my opinion… Have a look, [...]

Patagonia Time Lapse -> Adam Colton

This is very well captured… pretty mesmerizing stuff.

Notes from Vimeo:

“Adam Stokowski and I spent 2 weeks in Patagonia Country pursuing our new passion for time lapse video and rhino hunting. We visited Torre Del Paine Park, Chile. Glacier Park, Argentina & Fitz Roy, Argentina. Plus all the beauty in between. Many barbed wire fences were climbed…. this [...]

Telenoika -> Audiovisual Mapping

Yet another magically innovative example of archetectural video mapping, created by with 2D video composition software and 3D modeling software. The amazing motion graphics were projected with a 20k video beamer at 1920×1080 at the Kernel Festival in Northern Italy (Brianza to be exact). Very much worth the view. I’d love to check out this festival.

This post is specifically for folks out there who love to cook adventurously and eat well …and appreciate a nicely designed search experience to help assist in those efforts. Gojee.com is not only beautifully designed, it contains a great deal of interesting recipes that can be easily searched based on what it is that you’re [...]

2011 Showreel -> Gerbren Boere

Nice 2011 showreel coming from the fresh motion graphic mind of Amsterdam based Gerbren Boere. Well worth the view, especially for those who love solid motion design.
