Dear Japan

Beautiful everyday Japan, by Matthew Brown.

Fresh short film

Have a coffee and lean back for ten minutes to enjoy this great short film. I haven't seen a fresher style for a while.

Trophy heads

One of our readers, Alfred, just pointed out this Superbowl ad.



Making us happy to see that there are other people out there thinking about what's on the other side of a trophy head. Watch Jai the horseman, as we shot it on placement at W+K London. We really should have made it much shorter, right?

Sod Orange Wednesdays

Horseman

Here's a short film we made for W+K, the brief was to include a horse head into whatever we do. We're happy how it turned out, it's our first one. It made us hungry for more.

Great Short & Sweet

Today, after a bit of work and a Bookcrit (we saw Stuart from Mother, Hi Stu) we went to Short&Sweet to refill our inspiration cells with films & animations. The selection of short films was great, one of the best so far. If you have a spare hour tomorrow evening , make sure to go to the Tuesday Soho Screening, starting at 19.oo in the AKA Bar. You won't regret it, it's free and there's fabulous stuff to see.

The movie we liked most was The Raftman's Razor by Keith Bearden. It's on YouTube, but seriously, don't watch it! Go to the screening, get a drink, sit down on a comfy couch and enjoy it on a big screen, with a great audience around you. It'll make a huge difference. But only in case you can't make it, have a look.

Short & Sweet birthday

Short & Sweet, Londons only weekly short film showing celebrated its second birthday last night. Yesterday they showed a crop of the good stuff. Two hilarious films from Lev Yilmaz stood out, see them below and visit his website to discover more.





Also on screen was a short we blogged about last year, Rabbit, make sure to have a look, if you don't mind weird. We want to thank everyone at Short & Sweet for all the fun we had since we went there for the first time, we discovered lots of great shorts and always left inspired.

Stress

Just saw this this one over at Charles' blog, great piece of film, a music video actually. Don't watch it if you're in a good mood. Age puts it right 'It feels like a bit of a modern, urban twist to a Clockwork Orange. Intense...'

Wander

We missed Short&Sweet last night, they took a break for a couple of weeks and came back with a bang yesterday. Good that our spy Bernd, from Inspyed distilled the evening to one great short movie from Phillip Van 'Come wander with me'. Have a look, it's gorgeous. And if that makes you want to wander on this rainy London day, make sure to check out Björk's new music video, wanderlust as well.
