SIFF Be Watching

Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) is running “BE WATCHING”, a promotional campaign examining the delineation between surveillance and voyeurism. Starting with the :60 “Be Watching” trailer, the 2015 campaign invites moviegoers to reclaim their sense of agency and become the watchers instead of the watched. Stylized design elements evoke communist propaganda while illustrating the idea that films let us spy on strangers’ lives – legally. With over 400 films screened throughout the three-week festival, the trailer uses classics like ‘Blue Velvet’ and recent hits like ‘Boyhood’ to show that SIFF is the perfect opportunity to experience the exhilarating rush of seeing the world through someone else’s eyes. The SIFF Be Watching campaign also includes bumpers, print, outdoor, and other assets.

SIFF Be Watching

“The Be Watching concept was immediately intriguing to me because it could span so many emotions – both in the story of the trailer and for the people watching it. Matthew and I really focused on bringing the roller coaster of emotional impact to the trailer. The fact that you start feeling a bit creeped out, then end laughing makes this project truly unique and really fun,” said Lindsay Daniels, Director, StraightEIGHT. “I’m really proud of contributing to my local film festival because for years, it has supported and celebrated the films I love and the community I am part of. Helping tell their story this year, is an honor.”

The “Be Watching” campaign officially ushers in SIFF’s 41st year. Recognized as one of the top film festivals in North America, SIFF will present over 250 features and 150 shorts from over 90 countries during the festival’s 25-day run from May 15 to June 7.

Pouring Molten Aluminum In a Watermelon. Awesome Surprise!


Move over AntHillArt, theres a new guy in town! So today I decided I was going to pour molten aluminum on something. I just finished a new propane powered furnace and I wanted to put it to the test!

I don’t know why my brain jumped to watermelon, but I’m glad it did. What was going to be a way to waste the afternoon turned into an amazing discovery!

Those asking what it smelled like: Sickly sweet with base-notes of burning hair.

For those who say this is not science, I disagree. This experiment was a way to apply a lot of the things I learned throughout the years. I designed a burner for propane, and a special cement based refractory cement to withstand the heat.
