Psyop Delivers for UPS

psyopdeliversups

Weeks ago, we quickied “Gladiator,” the first of an ongoing campaign for UPS, due to the staggered release dates of the remaining spots. While additional spots are headed our way, shelving “Circus” until then would be a FU to the craft and creativity gods.

Corrugated cardboard, next to clay or pixels, is one of my favorite materials. Its seemingly innocuous appearance can transform into patterns and volumetric structures with a few simple folds, slots and slices. Any shop that manages to infuse human spirit into corrugated cardboard gets major cred from me. In “Gladiator” and “Circus,” Psyop does just this, transforming a bland brand of brown and a non-aesthetic material into a land of lions, elephants, and acrobats.

The charm of hinged puppet characters is met by the team’s technical muscle, layering golden light and atmospheric debris to turn a dull, trash material into treasure.

F5 RE:PLAY Film Festival: Batch One

I’m very pleased to get the first batch of F5 RE:PLAY films online. We debated about how best to share these films. While sharing them all in one go would be fun, it’d be too easy to miss some tasty action. Sharing them one at time, on the other hand, would quickly become tedious.

So the compromise: Three films at a time, roughly one batch each week.

This inaugural batch includes films from Buck, Crush and Holbrooks. I’ll let the work do the talking. But before I do, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the participants of the RE:PLAY Film Festival. Working on zero budget, each team created unique and inspiring nuggets of creative expression. That is a rare and wonderful treat.

Enjoy!

Buck: “Lumber Jack’s Wood Fest”

Crush “Inspire”

Holbrooks “Bren Hystien”
