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 I guess now that’s been replaced by having playlists on last.fm & itunes, though to me it’ll never be the same.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!

Now this is very cool! Titled The Man Who Walked Around The World, this short promotional video involves Robert Carlisle (Trainspotting, Hamish MacBeth and the Full Monty) walking through the Scottish highlands narrating a killer version of the history behind Johnnie Walker. It starts out with Robert telling a bagpiper to ‘Shut It’ so he can start his story, which is a rather impressive five minute continuos shot of the actor walking through the misty countryside while interacting with various props (including getting a drink) along the way. It took 40 takes for them to get this on film in one, unedited shot. Pretty impressive if you ask me.
Produced by creative director Nick Mahoney for BBH London, this spot was conceptualized by creatives Justin Moore and Jamie Rafn (Ruben Mercadel was the agency producer). Shot on location near Loch Doyne in Perthshire, Scotland, by director Jamie Rafn from HLA with George Richmond as the DOP.
Glyn Tebutt from Glassworks was responsible for the visualfx with editing done by Kate Owen from Marshall Street Editors. Aaron Reynolds from Wave Studios designed the sound(which was composed by Jamie Masters from Adelphoi Music).

I wish that I could present all of my ideas/stories in this form, the video is absolutely incredible! I present to you the re-creation of the childhood classic Little Red Riding Hood, told through info-graphics. This was created by Tomas Nilsson as part of a ’school assignment.’ He’s also got some other amazing work in his personal portfolio.
