This campaign from BC Dairy Foundation is so much fun. It is a collection of commercials that range from claymation to stop motion with found objects, like playing cards, puppets, trophies, Legos, and Russian dolls. You can watch all of the films at Must Drink More Milk, and see my fovorites below.
These new outdoor ads come from TBWA Paris. McDonald's uses recycled ads to reiterate the McDonald's recycles message. You know I love vintage advertising! I found these on Best Ads on TV.
Illustrator Alan Aldridge has a new show at the London Design Museum that opened on Friday. Aldridge is known for his psychedelic work with The Who, The Beatles, Elton John, Andy Warhol, Penguin Books and more - which made him an icon of the 1960's and 70s.
This new animated video forDeerhoof is being featured on the front page of YouTube today. I love the naive and raw style of animation made with paper cut outs. I decided I had to find more work from director-animator Clyde Peterson and was so excited by what I found. The work that I was able to find is a mix of live action and animation interspersed with whimsical theatrical elements and shot on imperfect film, maybe a super 8 camera?
I love the handmade signature that canvases the projects, can't wait to see more from Peterson in the future, enjoy.

Baz Luhrmann, one of my all time favorite directors, has completed a new commercial campaign for Australian Tourism. The two spots, Billabong, and Boab, cinematically illustrate the call to "Walkabout" Australia from within everyday life.
Billabong
Boab
Luhrmann's first commercial effort was the high glamor, beautifully art directed, branded short film for Chanel.
I'm so grateful to be working with a client that collaborated with singer songwriter Robert Francis, otherwise I might have never known about him. Francis is an LA artist whose first album, One by One is creating buzz among the music industry insiders.
Check out the video for the heartbroken single, Little Girl.
This Cotton commercial is a few years old but it has been airing a lot lately. How great is the music? It fits so well with the timeless vintage icon of the neighborhood dry cleaner.
The original music was created by The Lodge. It can be downloaded here.
I found this little clip at Motionographer. I love the mix media, the use of stop motion, the matting and the double exposures. Though it was probably done in post, the effects feel very handmade and experimental as if a lot of it could have been created in camera.
I also love the bright and airy look, as you might have been able to tell from some other items I'm drawn too, like the Current/Elliot lookbook.
Liking the work of LifelongFriendshipSociety in generl too - nice stuff, graphic but diverse - check 'em out.
More sweet and cinematic work from Stinkdirector Ben Dawkins. The texture and color of the rain cloud paired with the yellow slicker is just perfect.The spot is via Dublin agency Chemistry for EasiSingles.
You can watch the video in higher-res on the Stink website.
The Vespa lover I am I don't know how I missed this viral effort from Dentsu and Crush. I love the mix of animation and live action - and the baby crying - cherry on top!
