Vera Bee’s Snow-Bo


Sometimes when you are trawling the infinite ocean that is the inter-web, you come across a little treasure that makes you wonder how on earth you missed them first time around. This is one of those cases!

It’s a simple tale of a lonely little boy in search of a playmate with a good dash of darkness thrown in for good measure! Cute, enchantingly naive animation style with a great sense for comedy timing.

Created by Vera Brosgol and her buddy Jenn Kluska whilst in their final year at Sheridan College. Make sure you stop by her website for some lovely concept art.

Partizan Lab’s Chris Cairns recently directed this highly entertaining surreal video featuring everyones favourite beat juggling junkies, the Scratch Perverts.

I managed to interrupt Chris’ busy schedule to give use a quick insight into the techniques used to create the video:

We shot the people spinning on turntables at 33.3rpm at high speed and then matched them to the turntables which were working with Serato. The film was made in collaboration with The Scratch Perverts, Foreign Beggars, Shlomo and Will Clarke with sound design by Will Cohen. Post production by The Mill London.

ROKSANDA ILINCIC’S SLAVIC ROMANTICISM.

claudiaroksanda1

Roksanda Illincic’s sometimes-affordable opulence is on everyone from  Claudia Schiffer to Cate Blanchett to Barbie. Her patent brand of slavic romanticism is expressed via frostily muted colors, 3D draping and mesh while striking Gehry-esque shapes as it hangs from shoulders and hips. Check out more of her stuff HERE. Wow.
