POCKETS - the new DANIELS short →
Created for a program called Random Acts on Channel 4 in London.
Tommy, a man at the end of his rope, unable to provide for the woman he loves, decides to rob a stranger. The rest of the movie is really dumb and it’s about pockets.

Revisiting 2011 has been a treat this past week. It’s been an exceptionally exciting year. I thought I’d finish it by posting the result of one very promising idea of re-making Terminator 2 in an evening. But please be warned, this film footage was created by a collection of very drunk directors. It got a bit messy, but in a very good way, and hey!.. that’s film making :-)...

The Year's Best "Year's Best Videos List"s List
This has been a truly exciting year for lists about videos. With so many great lists to choose from we decided to put together a list of some of the greatest lists this year has to offer.

What a nice writeup about our short film!?!?! So flattered.
yeahyeahcreative:
This video is directed by a duo named Daniels. They’ve had a huge influence on us this year, so they may well pop up on this top-10 list one or two more times over the next week. Their brand of off-beat (maybe even a tad dark) humor resonates pretty closely to Tyler and I on the…

The Lauren Show
Lauren was our understudy dancer for WEETABIX. We fell head over heels in love with her. She’s one of the most spectacular performers we’ve ever met. This is the talk show she hosted in studio B while we were shooting the commercial next door.

WatchHere’s the Director’s Cut of our Levi’s Spot from this past February
(This is the entire spot exported without any of the files linked. A weird way to look at how many different layers were shrunk, masked, combined, sped up, and junk. Huge shout out to the incomparable Isaac Ravishanka for his invaluable work on this edit.)

WatchHappy Fourth!
Here is a quick effects test we did for our Hundred in the Hands video “Pigeons” that we were working on exactly one year ago. We did this test mostly because when we told people a girl was going to “puke fireworks” no one knew what that meant. and in case you want to revisit the finished video: http://vimeo.com/13561592

Back when we were entering every commercial contest we could, with cutting edge visual effects, detailed storyboarding, and the kind of fresh ideas we just KNEW clients were looking for.
