This summer’s Netflix hit “Stranger Things” went old-school for its opening credits. Very interesting to see where they drew their inspiration.

A delightful and insightful short documentary about the groundbreaking advertising campaign DDB created for Volkswagen, universally acknowledged to be the greatest and most influential of all time. At the time simplicity was the key, but this is why these ads are still so modern!
This is a film by British filmmaker Joe Marcantonio. His father Alfredo was the advertising manager of VW in the seventies and in 1982, he co-authored the book with the same title.

This is the song “Are you lost in the world like me?” by Moby & the Void Pacific Choir. While I am not too crazy about the song, I find the video amazing! Created by Steve Cutts, a London-based illustrator and animator.
Moby himself says: “The video Steve Cutts made for ‘Are you lost in the world like me?’ is without question one of the best videos that’s ever been made for one of my songs.”
So many issues about our obsession with technology and social media, given with a “retro Mickey Mouse” style.
A cute little typo animation created for an international label and package printing event by Matthew Buchanan, a designer and typographer from New Zealand.
Yesterday, we watched the excellent animated film “The Red Turtle” together with the kids, shown as part of the Athens International Film Festival.
The film tells the story of a man washed up on a deserted island populated only by turtles and crabs. Everything changes when, in an effort to escape the island, he meets a red turtle. It’s a really great film, for both adults and kids. It has no dialogues but that was no problem, it was actually a plus for our youngest daughter. The film touches on all the major life stages: life, death, rebirth, family. The direction, the animation and the watercolors are magical. The film is a co-production of the famous Studio Ghibli (of Totoro) and directed by Dutch-British animator Michaël Dudok de Wit.
Make sure not to miss it!
At the moment, I see this perfume ad everywhere on the internet. And of course it would be, because it is absolutely crazy and fabulous. It features actress and dancer Margaret Qualley performing an unexpectable choreography for the new ad for KenzoWorld. It is directed by Spike Jonze, the director of the absurdly hilarious film “Being John Malkovich”.
But Jonze has done this sort of thing before. Maybe some of you remember the excellent music video he directed for Fatboy Slim called “Weapon of Choice”, back in 2000 (see video below), starring a groovy, tap-dancing Christopher Walken. Very similar to the Kenzo ad and personally, one of my favorite music videos.
If all animals became round overnight, would their daily life still run that smoothly? This was the question the Swiss-German directing duo, Kyra Buschor and Constantin Peplos, were dealing with whilst working on the concept for the world of “Rollin’ Wild”, which originaly started as a series of four very funny clips. After the successful response, they promised to continue the series.
(thank you Alexandra!)
A Direct Grand Prix in this year’s Cannes Lions festival for the Swedish Tourist Association. In order to honor the anniversary of becoming the first country in the world to introduce a constitutional law to abolish censorship 250 years ago, the Swedish Tourist Association created a phone number where audiences could call up a random Swede, to ask anything they like, generating press all over the world.
