Oreo has really upped their game over the past several months. This, though, has to be some of our favorite work we've seen from the delicious cookie maker. The new spot is the visual brainchild of The Martin Agency. We love love the animation in this piece. It's got a great feel and energy to it — not to mention it's upbeat and cute as hell.

The Cave from Ricky Shabazz on Vimeo.

Nicolas Heller, son of well known design critic Steven Heller, just finished up this short film piece called The Cave in which he visually explores the deep dark recesses of his father's study. The depth of stuff contained within Heller's den is amazing. It contains a variety of design artifacts that Heller has used in a few of his books on political and counter culture.

The film work is nicely done and features some great slow pans throughout the dusty, eclectic collection. He even has a couple of pans in there that are wholly unique in which the camera moves by an item and then turns and zooms — all at the same time.

We had not come across illustrator, Lena Podesta's work before. When we did finally roll across it we were hooked. We really like the range of style in Lena's work. There's a retro, classic comic strip style in some of the pieces while others feel more contemporary and modern — a nice counterbalance that works for a variety of projects.
