The Sandpit

The Sandpit from Sam O'Hare on Vimeo.



Using tilt-shift photography, artist Sam O'Hare created the time-lapse film "The Sandpit" from more than 35,000 pictures taken during a single week last August. With computer editing software, O'Hare manipulated his photos so only narrow planes of focus remained sharp, creating an effect that makes the city look like a model.

"Better Together" for Match.com

"Better Together" for Match.com from FriendsWithYou on Vimeo.



FriendsWithYou paired up with US Sydney to produce the latest animated spot for Match.com. It's a magical little world where all things that are supposed to be together are. From strawberries and cream, to a fork and knife, to a rabbit and a hat... It's just cute to watch these duos make their love connection all over town. :)

Die Jungen Zillertaler - Auf der Bruck Trara



This made me laugh! It sounds like they're singing Barbaraaaaaa, and I loved the cut to the old man drinking his beer. I just wish I could actually understand the lyrics.

Soy mamelle





Packaging concept by Russian agency, Kian:

"The KIAN brand agency took on the process of naming, formulating a creative brand conception, and creating the package shape. Soy milk “Soy mamelle” is a 100% vegetative product. It is a source of high grade fiber and calcium, containing no cholesterol and a proven ability to actually lower cholesterol levels in the human body.

The developed conception of the package shape resembled an udder, which presents the first half of the message in that soy milk is identical to that of a cow. The second part of the message is delivered via the colour score and décor of the packaging, which concentrate on the phytogenesis of the product, creating an image of nature and health.

The packaging is developed with two options, individual and family size. The individual packaging is made out of glass, while the family size option is made of a natural latex material. The legs of the packaging are made of special valves and dose systems which allow the container to fill multiple glasses simultaneously by gently squeezing it. In this case, the process of interacting with the packaging becomes more alive and interesting. This finding has tremendous potential for improvement of brand identity in POS-materials and nonstandard equipment trading."
