    Be a Vegetarian from GLOSSYREY on Vimeo.

    We're in love with this short animated film. There's something about the quirky character design and the short to the point message that resonates with us. Yeah, we know it's not a vegan thing, but vegetarians are people too. This amusing short film is from the talented minds at Glossy Rey.

    Okay, we know it's no the most witty commercial, but we had a good laugh when we saw this. Is Kmart looking to make a come back by setting themselves apart from the pack? Perhaps. It will be interesting to see if they continue down this line. It could be just what the original big box store needs to breath a little life back into the biz. This commercial was the brain child of Draftfcb. You can see a longer credit list after the jump.

    Fun, energetic, cute and contemporary. That's how we'd describe this branding package done for Missoula-based marketing consultancy, Kello. It's the handiwork of pdx-based designer, Jeff Dooley. We were immediately drawn playful nature of these artifacts. We really like the playful wordplay Dooley built in between the words “Kello” and “Hello”. You can see more on Jeff's Behance page.

    Folded-shortfilm documentary from Kendy on Vimeo.

    Here's kind of an endearing documentary short film (meaning non-fiction, right?) about Melanie as she tries to find the boy who inspired her love through his origami. We love the feel of this short piece. The look of the film stock (if there is still such a thing) and the textures and contents of the sets within this piece were captivating. The film was shot on a Canon 550d / Rode Videomic Pro by filmmaker Kendy Ty.

    The Metalsmith from Dan McComb on Vimeo.

    We've featured filmmaker Dan McComb's work before, and there is a reason. He's an amazing (truly amazing) visual story teller. His latest documentary, The Metalsmith, is captivating from nearly the first sentence of dialogue. The story follows metalsmith, Andy Cooperman, and his extremely heart felt story of nearly going blind and almost losing his ability to create. This powerful and emotional story is expertly juxtaposed with footage of Cooperman working in his studio and rising above personal tragedy to continue the work that drives him forward. This is a brilliant bit of storytelling. Our favorite line at the end has to be, “Making is manifesting something from something that wasn't.” Fantastic!

    We're keeping this Wieden + Kennedy train moving forward from yesterday to today. The talented minds at our local W+K chapter have put their signature on the new commercial for Facebook Home. Making your way home can be the best, and sadly the longest, portion of the travel experience. Apparently, if you have Facebook Home you can take it all with you — even the cats.
