Absolutely amazing work from Prologue on Iron Man 2. I could write a few paragraphs about this but I don’t think I would do the work justice. From designing the type in the opening credits (as well as the opening credits) to the interfaces and holograms … this just blows my mind.
Check out their effects montage below.

I’ve always loved the analytical look mixed in with the organic look. The two seem to keep each other in check so as to not allow the piece to become overly saturated with one style. I think this work from ONESIZE does this aesthetic rather well.

Much time has passed since Hillman Curtis introduced his Artist Series but that doesn’t stop me from continually drawing new inspiration from them. His piece with famed director Mark Romanek is by far my favorite.

For me, the videos main point is around 3:44.

The content of the video is what immediately draws me in, but credit where credit is due, Hillman Curtis did a great job creating this. I suggest checking out the rest of the videos.

What gets me about people who create is their enthusiasm … their passion. The ability to love what they’re doing for the sake of doing it. It shows in the final work, it’s contagious and it’s generally just positive.

Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte are two talented musicians under the name Pomplamoose (which means grapefruit in French). Their music is light, fun and quirky and you can hear that they like making it. To take things a step further, they record their sessions and create VideoSongs, which not only shows you they have a great time creating but gives personality to their songs.

“VideoSong is a new Medium with two rules:
1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).”

I can’t really pick a favorite one so here is their latest.

Rory Sutherland is the Vice Chairman of Ogilvy Group UK, one of the worlds largest advertising firms. His talk at Ted is both information and hysterical and surmises that advertising can add value to a product by changing our perception. Whether you’re in advertising or not, I think it’s work the 18 minutes.

If Ted’s video player doesn’t work, check out Part I and Part II on youtube.

Say what you will about The Bravery (you keep your words to yourself this time, Brandon Flowers)

You might like’m, hate’m or just don’t pay attention to’m. In any event, Buck created this awesome video for their new single “Slow Poison”.

From Buck:

“With a four week production schedule and a love song of sorts, we travelled back in time to the late seventies and joined a cult of psychonauts to make a video about alien panther love, ontology, and inter-dimensional space travel.”
