The eminently talented Masashi Kawamura and the gang from Sour have released this interactive music video to follow up their highly acclaimed Hibi No Neiro.

Driven by passion, this team fearlessly breaks down the conventional boundrys of what a music video can be. No video embed here. It’s something you need to experience for yourself. Like the Wilderness Downtown project from Chris Milk and Arcade Fire, these projects challenge the conventional ideas in media and certainly in Masa’s case are driven by a passion to innovate regardless of what they have for resources. These past couple of projects I’ve posted, have been an enormous inspiration to me, and I hope will be to you.

If there’s one thing to take away from all this, it is that passion and motivation, not the abundance of financial resources is the only real currency. By using the resources you have, and combining them with passion and drive, you can make something truly powerful and inspiring.

That’s all they did. You can do it too.

There’s something extraordinary about this video. Can you guess what it is? The images are lush and beautiful and suggest a passion for cinematography and lighting but that’s not it. Here’s a clue- it’s the latest from Alex Roman, who brought us The Third & Seventh last year. The answer below the fold…

Together with co-directors Cory Strassburger and Ming Hsiung, we produced a motion magazine cover and feature spread for Viv Mag – an all digital magazine, which would allow us to create content that will be able to live on the iPad and other tablet devices where digital magazines can live.

Our collaboration with Cory and Ming has been a phonemonal experience and you’ll see a lot more great work coming from this team. Check out this featurette, which goes behind the scenes and shows how we put it all together.



Special thanks to Campion for taking a risk with me. Without the bravery of a good client, we wouldn’t be able to bring you work of this caliber.

Extra special thanks to B2Pro Lighting, Red Camera & Jarred Land.

Extra extra special thanks to Chuck Carey and the good people at Troika Design Group without whom we would still be waiting for renders.

Vincent Laforet along with Stu Maschwitz and David Nelson put together this vignette that shows off the incredible low light sensitivity of the Canon 1ds MKIV.

Vincent Laforet created a ton of buzz with his Reverie film shot with the Canon 5D Mark II and it looks like he’s onto something again – this time with the new Canon 1D Mark IV. The entire 3 minute segment is shot at ISO 6400 on the new professional DSLR.

Watch it in HD here.

More on the camera on Photography Bay’s Canon 1D Mark IV Reviews and Resources.

Here’s our “Living” Magazine Cover and Spread released with the October issue of Outside Magazine. Photographed with the Red One camera, we created our vision of how a motion-magazine of the not-too-distant future would look based on emerging technologies like flexible OLED and E Ink.

Music is “Gone Gone Days” by Two Years Before the Mast and “I Like Van Halen Because My Sister Says They Are Cool” which has got to be my favorite song title in the world by El Ten Eleven. You can buy El Ten Eleven’s music here: itunes.com/elteneleven
