Sean Pecknold
Sean Pecknold is the older brother of Robin Pecknold, front man for The Fleet Foxes. Sean is the creative genius behind the AMAZING Fleet Foxes videos i posted about here and here. what's even more amazing than his work is the length of time in which the videos are created... Beautiful/Decay Magazine has a great interview with Sean and insightful "making of" footage for The Fleet Foxes videos and others. DEFINITELY worth a look!! also be sure to check out his collaboration on MILK and his company By Grandchildren.
Jim Stoten – Doodling With Intention
i love the simplicity of this interview - it's like you're just chillin with Jim for a few minutes. Don't Panic Magazine sat down with Jim Stoten and asked him to draw something for them in two hours. the result is fantastic! hear great quotes from Jim: "i don't know why i drew all those things, i just did." "this is doodling with an intention." AND who doesn't love penguins??
Fight Like Apes – Tie Me Up In Jackets
what a great song! the video does a remarkable job of seeming soothing when with friends and using color to show confusion/hysteria. kind of like the phrase, "smelled like sauce but tasted like apple Schnapps." hehe..
Alinka Echeverria
Alinka Echeverria directed this underwater ballet; synchronized swimming that often makes it hard for the viewer to determine whether the swimmers are dancing on top of or underneath the water.
Aeroplane Pageant – Stars Still Pretty
love the tone of this video! the filmography is great too... nice creativity! really likin the song... guess that's important to mention...
Grain Surboards
Maine is producing some eco-friendly surfboards! the boards are made from sustainable white cedar.... what better way to catch the waves, brah? i love the description of theirwork:
Though not always to our customers’ advantage, Grain’s surfboards are designed by people who surf every time there are waves, from wind-slop to groundswell. But when it’s flat, we’re knee-deep in our second-favorite thing to do: building wood boards that let surfers lessen their impact on the planet, and surf a great board.
Isenseven’s: Let’s Go Get Lost (trailer)
i know we're on the cusp of summer, but i had to post this trailer! this European snowboard DVD comes out this fall. keep your eye out... looks excellent!! the song on the trailer is equally as good: Kyle Andrews - Sushi. nice!
Glowing Animals
what a beautiful photo! (of mice) yes.... National Geographic has a bunch of photos of animals that were genetically altered with flourescent colors. the ones above are what a Harvard team dubbed, "Brainbow." from the site:
How does it glow?
Cyan, red, and yellow fluorescent proteins, injected into DNA in embryos (2007)
What can we learn?
A Harvard team working with mice invented the "brainbow." When three different colors of fluorescent protein--cyan, red, and yellow--were introduced into a mouse embryo, the individual neurons of the mouse's brain became one of 90 different colors.In addition to looking fantastic, the psychedelic mouse minds will likely lend insight into how brains work.
JH House

A Kiss From Tokyo (trailer)
LOVE this trailer.... so retro, so Bond, so VERY good!! from Vimeo:
