We do video production sometimes. I mean, we’re no Digital Kitchen or anything, but we have some chops. We’ve got editors, 3D people, motion graphics people and the like on staff. BUt more importantly, we have the knowledge and understanding of the best way to get your project done: whether it’s a quickstyle DIY shoot in our Boston studio, or partnering with another firm to do it all high-end style.
Here are some recent posts from our employees about Video Production:
Man, this new Honda campaign Let it Shine is gorgeous. The Vimeo special advertising integration is genius. I am humbled and jealous. Amazing work!
Important Doctorly Breakthroughs
My daughter cleverly produced a TV Show for YouTube title Important Doctorly Breakthroughs!!!! It’s a ridiculous handmade video show but it’s also an interesting layering of YouTube clips that run sequentially, called a playlist. You simply press play and it runs. In effect, like watching television.
I think there’s something very interesting in curated playlists. Like I’d like to see a playlist from Will Farrel or Jack Black or Michael Cera, right? Maybe a celebrity playlist on YouTube could generate significant eyeballs. huh
Well, one thing for sure, I’m looking forward to the Second Season of Doctor.
Musical Things
Ruby and I recorded a little thing yesterday. I played the nord and he recorded, added some beats, edited the video, and uploaded it! thanks Ruby!
here’s a little pic of the setup

UPDATE: you asked, i listened there is a tiny guide on how this visualizer was created.
there can only be one.
i’m an unabashed basketball fan. it’s my thing, my vice, i suppose. and i’ve really got to hand it to the agency who did the latest crop of playoff ads – they are quite possibly my favorite sports campaign in awhile, thanks to the duo of jonathan dayton and valerie faris (directors of little miss sunshine).
check this out.
everything, from the music choice to the pairings to the copy, is pretty much flawless in my eyes. but then again, i could be biased because i love the sport. but to me, it reveals a lot of the character and drive that i really love. also, it was really wise of the nba to put all of them up, because after the initial shock of saying “what on earth?!” i totally wanted to see more.
kudos, nba. kudos, agency. kudos, directors.
Video Objects
w-h-i-t-e-v-o-i-d is developing some really cool software to project video images on physical objects.

Our Idea Of Fun: Skulking around after midnight in the Hollywood Hills with Marilyn Manson, kidnapping siamese twins, and filming the whole thing. We sent Benjamin and Nicole McDonald, a Boston-based artist, out to LA with a camera and a powerbook and this is what they came back with. Look for the art film “Doppleherz” on the bonus DVD of Manson’s new album The Golden Age Of Grotesque, due out May 13. Check back in a week or so for some screenshots and a site update.
