Things
Video Dancer
Just what will it take to make you dance? A Graham Coxon song set to video sent in by 85 dancing fans in 22 countries? Yup, that should do it. It’s freeing to watch the sporadic dance moves of people forced together to create a composite dancer frolicking in the street
Advertising: Object or Idea
What is more important, the product or the idea of the product. For renowned British car manufacturer Land Rover, the idea is everything. In the release of the 2011 Freelander 2 Land Rover found director Peter Sluszka of Hornet Inc. to create ad spots that didn’t feature the real vehicle at all, only a scaled model

Table For Two? – Breakfast Interrupted
BSS | Breakfast Interrupted Forget everything you know about breakfast. Advertising is so much better when it is visually appealing and innovative, not airbrushed to oblivion and formulaic, but when it is truly aesthetically pleasing and steps away from the norm
Beauty Is Here – The City Limits
Timelapse – The City Limits You are looking at the cities of Montreal, Toronto, Quebec, Manhattan and Chicago from late 2010 into 2011.

Space Cupid – Crater Face
Would you like to hear a love story? One about moon pimples? That’s crazy because that’s exactly what we have for you today. Crater Face is the story of a benevolent spaceman and the love of two moon pimples. The short was made by Skyler Page as a second year film project. More: Skyler Page
Fit for the Times – Dried Up
Dried Up The short-film is the story of an old man’s seemingly witless daily labour to save his town from drought despite of the disapproval of others. The storytelling, art and photography are compelling. This fictional landscape in the midst of drought is similar to films we may have seen about life in the old [...]

Feel-Good II Oct. 20
Our second feel-good today comes from Martin Solveig, the same French DJ and producer you saw earlier in that lengthy video. The track is similarly as bigheaded as the video, but an ego boost to you surely can’t do much harm could it?
Fully Featured – Ready 2 Go
Right, so, forgive us as we indulge ourselves (and you along with us) here but we couldn’t resist linking you to this (seriously, we tried to resist it). Music videos are normally about the same length as the tracks they are set to
Feel-Good I Oct. 20
Good morning. We have beautiful music for you thing morning. It is not the type to make you sit up and buzz, bursting with energy. Our track is a bit more subtle than that. This morning, we hope to set you at ease

Each work re-imagined the form, identity and purpose of objects existing in the public realm
Pray It’s a Dream – 5:46 am
5:46 am Sound and imagery combine to form a tranquil nightmare, and this nightmare is pleasing to the eyes too. The Parisian cityscape submerged under one meter of water. Paris art studio, ArtefactoryLab’s Olivier Campagne and film director Vivien Balzi bring this hypothetical world to life. The familiar city streets and public spaces of Paris, abandoned and flooded

In the Limelight – Stop Motion Has Its Day In The Sun
Stop-motion animation has grown significantly in popularity in recent years. It has been around for quite a while in clay animation, paper animation, and model animation.

Polly – A very serious search – Cut out animation Here’s to big imaginations everywhere. Swedish filmmakers Natalia Figueroa and Isaac Martinsson started up Ofokus, a film production company, in 2009
Feel-Good I Oct. 13
Good morning to you. Glad you decided to check in with us as you wake up on this Thursday morning. Of course we have music for you. This morning, something fresh that you probably haven’t heard before. Jordan Allred, living between Seattle and San Diego, put together Noise in F Minor

Feel-good two this afternoon comes hot off the video press. The Electric Blankets, a group from Tucson, have been heating it up and released their first video this week.
