Sunshine

“Sunshine is a short documentary by commercial director Doug Nichol. It’s a portrait of John Benet, a veteran producer reflecting on his career and current place selling McDonald’s in Shanghai. There’s no motion graphics here, but there’s a lot to think about for those of us working in advertising.

“You go from job to job to job…years pass… I’ve been freelance for twenty-two years. There probably isn’t a month that’s gone by that I haven’t worried about the next job. I mean, we’re all just chasing our security, but then decades go by…”

“I’m doing two things… I enjoy the work, but I’m also doing something else. And sometimes I’m not completely aware of what that is.

This is really great. Please watch it. Lots of undertones of social culture as well as a brief insight into this man’s life and thoughts.

For the new commercial for “MLB: The Show 12”, they simulate what it might look like if/when the Cubs finally win the World Series, complete with a Weiner Circle celebration and absolute madness on Clark St. Thoughts?

it would be pretty cool to see this city go nuts like that… except for the South Siders?

LOL go cubbies.

A few friends have told me to check out Visual Supply Co. I’ve yet to get my hands on it yet. But their latest video preview has some awesome motion work.

“After the impressive video Images Can Shock , French Gioacchino Petronicce was able to make this short video for independent Pix’n’Love Editions. Visually successful, the creation of short, rhythmic sound is to discover in the sequel.” - fubiz
