This doesn’t have much to do with the site other than I think its both powerful & well, outright cool. It’s a recently BAFTA nominated short by 23 year old director Luke Snellin titled Mixtape. This piece reminds me of the charm, allure and sheer power that mixtapes can have in connecting people though the sharing of music tastes (and sometimes added voice-over commentary). It also has a killer soundtrack of some favorites from the 60s and 70s. Some of my favorite tapes + later cds that held permanent spots in rotation were mixtapes given to me by friends and/or loved ones. I guess now that’s been replaced by having playlists on last.fm & itunes, though to me it’ll never be the same. Anyhow, enjoy!

Sesame Street decided to do a Mad Men sketch and the result is 3x more awesome than the level of awesomeness you’re currently imagining it could be. Yeah, that awesome. Enjoy!
Hoping to see similar results to w+k’s Happiness Factory from last year, Ogilvy Argentina teamed up with London-based Passion Pictures to create this :60 animated masterpiece for Coke Zero. I know I’m not alone when I say that I’m a big fan of this style of commercial and I wonder if there are any plans to make a feature length version of the spot. Aptly titled Happy Kingdom, this piece was directed by Pete Candeland.
