Adam and I finally created and sent out the save the date video for our upcoming wedding… three and a half months out!!! Special thanks to our good friend T-Burton for bringing his cinematographer magic with his RED Epic!
(To get the “movie trailer experience,” I highly recommend watching it full screen in HD)
A thank you card I made today. Recycled “brown paper bag” exterior with hand cut out lettering (a laser cutter would have been ideal) that reveals the neon interior.
Finally found the copy I kept for myself and photographed it! Double-sided card announcements I made for the birth of my nephew.
Adam and I play Fruit Ninja religiously. Before bed, waiting in lines, sitting on the… well… nevermind. We love it. So when we saw a video created by FinalCutKing that was featured on video game blogs, we had no option other than to team up with our favorite creatives (Zach and Paul) and make an epic response video. It was a quick and fun Wednesday evening shoot on a street corner that we stumbled upon in Kansas City. Adam and Zach directed/shot/edited, Paul helped us out with After Effects, and I starred in it and did the typography/graphics. Well done team!
No actual furniture yet, but here’s our new Marimekko duvet cover and Ikea Honefoss honeycomb mirror wall. It requires a ruler, a level, and a whole lot of patience…
A just-for-fun music video that we shot this weekend in the West Bottoms…
Adam and I have officially begun our adventure in Kansas City, Missouri. Wish us luck!
We saw the original Cosmopolitan “just the right amount of wrong” commercial and decided to visit Vegas and stay at the hotel because it looked so awesome and edgy. It turns out that the majority of the commercial was shot on a set so we couldn’t even replicate the actual scenes… but regardless we had a blast and the hotel (from the giant digital wall art down to the Phaidon books, Jonathan Adler accents, and Piero Fornasetti wallpaper in the closet) was AMAZING!!!
Music: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club “Spread Your Love” and Blossom Dearie “Doop-Doo-De-Doop (A Doodlin’ Song)”
I have been making indie mixtapes (or cds rather) for a looong time. [SIDE NOTE: I initially started this blog in ’08 to write about indie music] Anyway, this year I decided to make a design project of the effort and “publish” monthly mixes that I send to my followers (a small group of friends and family). The recycled cardboard cases have a magnetic closure and the featured bands listed on the back. The sets also have color-coordinated labels that correspond with the seasons.
(a silly video that Adam and I made this weekend)
Just your average trip to CVS…
Music: Oh Land “We Turn It Up”
