My friends at Lifelongfriendshipsociety have flexed their magic muscles yet again pumping out another cool spot for Starbucks and BBDO NY. From what I hear the music is original as well. Talented bunch. I sure would like to work with them again. I miss you guys.

I apologize for the URL beneath the video. That was all I could find on Vimeo.

Really interesting and wildly colorful work from Pedro Vilas-Boas. Some of it really jumps out at you. He’s not afraid to just go a little crazy and I really like that.

Via good ‘ole CPLUV.

A really diverse and often totally unexpected body of work lies within the portfolio of the quirky and interesting Colors and the Kids. One of the more intriguing portfolios I have surfed through in a while.

“PSST! 3 is a collaborative film project. 17 films are currently being made by 51 teams of Designers, Directors, Animators and Composers.

The mission of PSST is to produce original short films through the collaboration of different teams of designers, directors, and animators. Each film is comprised of three sections produced by three different teams. This process is the whole idea behind PSST! – a technique derived from the Dadaist game of Exquisite Corpse and the children’s game Telephone and applied to the arts of motion graphics, animation and film-making.

PSST! is curated and organized by Bran Dougherty-Johnson of Grow Design Work.”

From the people involved and some of what is already on the site in terms of news, this looks like something to keep an eye out for. Could be some interesting content coming soon.

Edgy, monochromatic music video for Friendly Fires, directed by Clemens Habicht. The band were transformed into Skeleton Boys as a nod to the track’s title, with the aid of tight, black baby-grows, fans and trillions of bean bag balls.
