I don’t know how to swim I do confess.
So I’m a big fan of Young Wonder and well… this video as well!
Some mesmerising use of colours and layering. Give it a watch!

Another Fav from Gustav Johansson! Beautifully simple (which is not to be mistaking with simplistic).
Is the end tagline poking a little fun at maybelline?
for those that like film and symmetry.
Wouldn’t wanna mysteriously wake up on those balconies.
My future dream-mobile
Wes Anderson & Roman Coppola made this for Prada. Although it’s a bit confusing (Oops I mean… quirky! it’s called quirky right? you know like Zooey Deschanel?) you can’t deny loving how Wes directs you through the scenes, especially with some of his famous tracking shots in there.
I think when it comes to Prada vs Chanel in recent fashion videos (https://vimeo.com/57847990), Chanel wins. But you always have some interesting characters anytime you watch a Wes film!
One of my favourite director at the moment is Niklas Johnasson. The video above is one of about 6 different videos in cities around the world. If learning a language was this visually stimulating I would definitely be multilingual by now.
the shots and composition are excellent but the thing I love most is the graphics. They are fantastic. The way the move around on screen ever so subtly makes it even better. Those two little lines that pop in every now and then and the sudden light change to give it that ‘filmic’ quality… yep! it’s pretty nifty.
All in all, his videos make me want to go away and learn another language. And hey! with massive graphic blocks popping round every corner or friendly strangers/love interests helping you, it couldn’t be easier!
I’ve been working on this in my spare time over the last few weeks. Although I wish it had a bit more of a narrative, I think it’s pretty cool. Most of the process was quite easy but I was stuck on the intro for quite a long time until I saw this video… https://vimeo.com/61765258
I really liked the style of replicating old film with simple graphic shapes (squares, lines and circles) and wanted to build on that by adding Buddhist and Cambodian symbols which surrounded us during the trip.
This is also the first project I used DaVinci Resolve to grade. Amazingly powerful tool and will probably be my number 1 choice for grading from now on. The back and forth from premiere is still a bit glichy it seems though :(
Enjoy!
