Another Killer Music Video by OKGo: “This too Shall Pass”

The guys in OKGo are super creative and you never know what you’ll see next in their music videos. I applaud the team that built these contraptions for the “This too Shall Pass” music video. They are resourceful, witty and perfectionists when it comes to timing and measurement.
It’s just a good time. Check out the new video here >

Creative Video done by hand!

Have you seen this video by Donato Sansone? The entire animation is done by hand. I wonder how long it took him to create this. Cool Stuff.

“Go Forth” – cool video by Levi’s

Levi’s new commercials are beautiful little videos promoting their brand and new creative contest. I found myself engaged as I came across this commercial in between some political rant and a makeup advertisement. Very creative Levi’s.

San Diego Film Festival – *MENDED Premier*

The San Diego Film Festival kicked off last night with a great feature called Like Dandelion Dust and there was not a dry eye in the theater. This film explored themes such as religion, alcoholism, domestic violence, adoption laws and most importantly the love that parents have for their children. The headlining actors included some names you might recognize, but frankly I didn’t see the actors, I saw the characters. Well acted, well edited with a message that was clear, concise and touched everyone in the theater. Good Show.

I am now pleased to invite you to the premier of MENDED. This short film was written and directed by Diliana Deltcheva and is a literal translation of a common struggle known as heartbreak. It’s about love and loss and gaining your own meaning from the imagery. This is our first film festival and we would love to see you there!

I worked with Diliana from conception to creation to promotion and I did all of the branding for this film. (website, flyers, etc.) I am so excited to see it on the big screen for the first time. I am so proud. :)

You Can Shine – short film for Pantene

When I watched this film, I did not know it was advertising anything. This 4 minute clip is heart-warming and proves that you don’t need two hours to create something impactful. I’m not sure this will ever run in it’s entirety as a “commercial” on US TV, but I hope it will get around the internet circuit. Good stuff Pantene.
