Never Extinguish
We’ve featured a few skate videos on DN over the years, although I think I can safely say this is the first apocalyptic skate video we’ve ever posted. Never Extinguish directed by Ash Bolland for Burn productions is a skate video of high ambitions and even higher production values, which uses some fine post-production work [...]
Calculate
One of the greatest measurements of a successful short film is if it leaves you wanting more. I think I could happily watch JamVee’s (the collaboration of JimJam Graphics and XYZee Design) Calculate for eternity. Amon Tobin – Calculate from JimJam Graphics on Vimeo.
Future Proof
Developed in response to the 2011 A/NZ PromaxBDA Conference title Future Proof, The DMC Initiative’s (DMCI) abstract dance film expresses ideas of the future by considering what is timeless: People, the expression of self and the interactions between each other are timeless qualities relevant to creativity, no matter what the future holds. The varying dance [...]

We discuss collective responsibility [...]

Snowballs
Following on from his bizarre Proenza Schouler fashion short Act da Fool, Harmony Korine brings us another fascinating slice of experimentation with his new ad Snowballs for the New York clothing label.
Tokyo Slo-Mode
Alex Lee’s Tokyo Slo-Mode is a gorgeously unhurried and loving look at his hometown. It’s a view we don’t normally get of this city more renowned for its manic hustle and bustle. TOKYO SLO-MODE from alex lee on Vimeo.
Espadon 21
You could be forgiven for having your attention grabbed by the urban sports skills on display in El Vez’s Concrete Circus post, but if you shift focus to the soundtrack during Keelan Phillips – Release you’ll hear that Obny (aka Olivier Boni) created some impressive music and sound design for that piece. Which is why [...]
