It’s Thursday. You probably need a little pick-me-up to get through the week. How about this epic polychromatic music video that Buck has just directed for the Bravery?! Featuring geodesic spheres, tetrahedral pyramids and more lens flares than you can possibly comprehend, it’s sure to fix your late afternoon need for glowing, rainbow-filled sci-fi psychedelia.
Mike recently informed me that the crew over at Spin Productions recently completed a new spot for TVO acknowledging Remembrance Day.

By and By is a new video that the Snorri Brothers directed for Lay Low, a fellow Icelandic artist. Using a simple visual motif that transforms everyday scenes into something recognizable, but totally different than what we’re used to seeing, the video features the first time use (that we’re aware of) of the Mini-Planet technique with timelapse live-action sequences shot around the world. The Snorri Brothers answered a few Questions for us about the making of the video.
Edit: A commenter alerted us of his own video using the technique to equally impressive and trippy effect here. Thanks Tak! As we mentioned this one was the first we were aware of, but I’m sure there are more out there, too …
Johnny Kelly’s “Olympic Spirit” spot effortlessly takes us on a delightful stream-of-consciousness iconographic journey. 2D/3D computer animation supplied a guide for each of the final frames, which were hand-cut and photographed to create subtle differences and imperfections.
From Johnny Kelly:
“This project was a lovely opportunity to engage with and contribute to the Olympic games. Being one of the least sporty people I know this was clearly my only way in. The animation is made up of 338 individual paper collages and I was lucky enough to work once more with Elin Svensson, who worked tirelessly to help create these.”
15%-20%. I would guess 1500+, layoffs are coming across the board, from every studio, in every department
