I don’t know much about basketball and even less about soccer, I don’t know anything about Steve Nash, but I do know this little short put together by 13th Witness (which reminds me of this) is pretty dope. The short follows Steve Nash around throughout his day where he attends a charity soccer game in China Town in New York and ends at a night club for what looks like a nice after party. Via SlamXHype.

Rob Chiu or The Ronin just completed the directing and editing of the Webby Awards Intro Sequence for Digital Kitchen. The Sequence is shot all in one day throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn. What really caught my eye was the motion work. There is a really nice use of expressions, motion tracking and 3D, without going overboard. I am not too familiar with Rob’s work, but after a quick glance at this piece I spent a while searching around for more. Here is a you tube link to his summer ‘07 reel, its really good.

I’m having trouble starting this post… The whole topic could go three ways and I don’t really know what to focus on… Should it be a technical post talking about the quality of videos on the web and how small box “youtube” type videos are going to quickly be a thing of the past, where they get brought up in conversation like our parents talked about black and white TV? Or should it be about the amazing imagery of the trailer and how well the piece was put together… Or should I focus on the band and their cult like following… In any case, I think I’m just going to let the trailer speak for it self and let you decide.
I came across this post by David Lang on the Gnarwhale site about a trailer for a new Sigur Rós DVD. The DVD is titled Heima and it’s a documentary, following the band around their homeland of Iceland, playing free shows for anyone who shows up, in some of the most beautiful locations I have ever seen. There are a few different options for watching this trailer, but you should definitely take the extra few minutes and watch the 1080p version… It’s amazing.
Check out the Heima trailer here.
I just came across this on the FFF site and I really enjoyed watching these people getting punched in the face… Imagine if you could see a shot like this of a professional boxer punching a dude… It would be so wild! I bet their cheek would be clear across the screen before their chin even moved a millimeter… haha.
Check out the video after the jump and you can see higher res clips here.

Jordan from Vimby just hit us up with some info on a showing of Rad in L.A. Check out what he had to say:
“Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that some friends of mine have a guerrilla drive-in @ a location in downtown LA and it’s always a load of fun. This weekend the feature is RAD! And homie asked me to put some shit on blast for him so riders show up to watch it. Basically going to ride into downtown or something like that, eat tacos, drink, beer, sit on bikes and watch RAD!”

Knowing I’m a Ghostface superfan, Vinnie Sammon was nice enough to gift me one of 500 Zoo York / Ghostface tees with the accompanying skate deck. This collab between Ghost and Zoo York was born of Ghostface’s longtime love affair with the Iron Man / Toney Stark story throughout his career, with Ghost using both names as two of his aliases (which are listed on the shirt).
Ghost even starred in a scene from Iron Man, which unfortunately got cut from the movie before it hit theatres, but not before a personal phone call from Favreau who apologized did his best to make up for it.

Hillman Curtis just released a great short film on Stefan Sagmeister covering the release of his new book “Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far” and a release that he had at Deitch Projects.
Check it out here.
Harrison’s post below about Lova’s short film reminded me of this: a short film by Anthony Goicolea titled “The Septemberists” showcasing a Thom Browne collection. Apparently there’s a 30 minute version of this floating around somwhere, but this 48 second clip is amazing as well. I can’t even describe it; just check it out. Too amazing.
Check out an interview with Joe Simon on the Team Crossroads BMX site about their recent “web” video that they released.
