Antique times
listening to: Future Islands – Balance
This Morning i was up at 5 to head down to Sunbury for the antiques market. I found some lovely bits of type but could only sneak a few pretty poor quality shots when the stall owners weren't looking.

FREE METAL
listening to: DragonForce – Through The Fire And Flames
Not sure if this is an advert or a cry-for-help statement about the music industry? either way this is the happenings next to the studio today.

UP THERE
Listening to: NEW HOT CLUB EP
Thanks to loligo for sending me a link to this Beautiful Film by Stella and Malcolm Murray.
Well there you go. pretty much sums it up.
This is infact an elaborate 'making of' for the Stop frame animation at the end of the film.
The campaign was again driven by MOTHER, they have been consistantly knocking out beautiful, effective campaigns for Stella for some time. From the Aesthetic apperatus screenprinted posters to the smooth origionals campaign
with incredable posters by Robert Mcginnis.
I still cant get over how wonderful these posters are..
This new sign painting campaign has wonderful genuine feel lost from many recent campaigns that are tapping in to craftsmen and creatives both traditional or modern to create a 'heritage' or force the brand to support 'creativity'.
As we see agencies looking for something tangible and physical to let the public relate to the brand, we see them use names (bands/creatives/other products) without actually focusing on the skills or art created by these individuals and often ignoring the brands' context or relation to these people/crafts. SO its great to see Stella and mother have supported something geniuinly interesting and retained their own context within the campaign.. 10 points all round. especially to sky high murals.
Serious point over. Just enjoy the wonderful videos.

' Shot high above the streets of New York City, UP THERE reveals the dying craft of large-scale hand painted advertising and the untold story of the painters struggling to keep it alive.
Capturing a trade that is equal part artistic precision and grueling labor, the film presents a painting tradition pre-dating modern advertising. A craft that today finds itself dangling precariously on the brink of extinction. '
