Set for release in February 2017, we love the teaser trailer for Zaschitniki (Guardians), an upcoming Russian superhero film directed by Sarik Andreasyan, that follows a motley group of Soviet superheroes who fight villainous foes in the USSR during the cold war. Da da da! 🙂
In the heat of the New York summer, Gothamist associate editor Rebecca Fishbein and videographer Jessica Leibowitz spent a day in Coney Island, Brooklyn visiting the World of Swimming‘s Mermaid School. The skilled instructors at the school teach the students how to swim like a mermaid, a feat that requires a great deal of core strength, and in doing so, encourage self-confidence and pride. Ummm ok, sure…it’s all fun and games until someone drowns. Merman…Merman! 😉
Pizza Hut UK have partnered with printable electronics company Novalia to create the world’s first playable DJ deck pizza box and hired DJ Vectra to demonstrate it, giving away five of the decks to hungry DJs across the United Kingdom. Gimmicky but pretty cool 🙂
Film editor Himker Rovde has created a brilliant montage using super hero television shows and films from the 1970s and 1980s to create a real-looking promo for an early version of ‘The Avengers‘ which even includes Hawkeye 😉 Clever clogs – love it 🙂
Check out Marvel‘s first official trailer for their upcoming Netflix original series Luke Cage – this bulletproof ex-con superhero takes on the bad guys and begins cleaning up the streets of New York City. All season one episodes will be available for streaming from the 30th September 2016.
UK film critic Ross John Fearnley of The Unusual Suspect has created this awesome supercut video of The Offspring smash hit ‘Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)’ being sung by 230 different movies. Fantastic stuff! 🙂
Directed by Ernest Desumbila, Kids of the Apocalypse have released their latest music video entitled ‘Better Life’ which uses animation and visual effects by Sauvage TV to depict a band of gifted children in a post-apocalyptic and dystopian future. Love it! 🙂
Directed by Najeeb Tarazi, who worked on films for Pixar such as Toy Story 3 and Monsters Inc., this awesome pixel art music video created for the superb track ‘White Flag’ by British electro duo Delta Heavy from their Paradise Lost EP is heavily inspired by a retro 16-bit aesthetic and the world of the early 90s gaming. Love it! 🙂
A very moving yet fascinating and powerful video that takes us into the nuclear exclusion zone of abandoned Fukushima, we love the work of designer Chris Lavelle who has given movement and depth to the stunning photographs of Rebecca Lilith Bathory. Check it out, awesome stuff 🙂
In advance of their new line for 2017, IKEA are set to release teasers announcing their new collaborative ‘YPPERLIG’ collection with Danish furniture company HAY. This first video is as cleverly cryptic as it is surreal and follows the path of a glass ball through an empty apartment – a great way of staying creative without showing any of the new products. The video itself was a collaboration between three different agencies, Kühl & Solvstrom, Nikextension, and Barkas. Can’t wait to see what they come out with next – watch this space 🙂
