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.

w-h-i-t-e-v-o-i-d is developing some really cool software to project video images on physical objects.

Hey check out this awesome trailer on the home page of YouTube today for Motorola. Yeah man. Ninjaphones. This is a trailer for a site we did, and short films by us and Nicole from Paranoid and Sebastian from H20. Woo. It’s gonna rock. here is the permalink.

Oh and the wicked awesome accompanying site we did is here. It’s pretty fly.

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.
