Tuesday, July 8th, 2008Sean Pecknold: Fleet Foxes “White Winter Hymnal”
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008
“White Winter Hymnal,” a stop-action music video directed by Sean Pecknold for Seattle band Fleet Foxes, is a quietly beautiful meditation on nature and time. Channeling the music’s cyclical vocals, the video stars a Father Time-ish gnome who brings to life—and then to death—the natural world around him.
Sean is repped by Curious Pictures, but this project was completed on his own in Seattle. Sean’s brother, incidentally, is Fleet Foxes’ lead singer. Neat.
Full credits requested.

PES: Western Spaghetti
Monday, July 7th, 2008
NOTE: If you don’t see the video on the PES site, scroll down to the bottom of the page.
At long last, PES’s latest short film is online for the world to behold. “Western Spaghetti” is, in my opinion, PES’ most inventive project to date. Each clever re-purposing of ordinary items feels like a minor epiphany, a burst of childlike imagination.
I remember the audible oohs and ahhs from the audience when PES previewed a couple scenes of Western Spaghetti at the last Inspire. PES has managed to sustain that level of titillation, showing us the world through his eyes for a giddy minute and a half. Thanks to him, I’ll never look at a Rubik’s cube quite the same way again.
Big thanks to Brett for the tip!

Pepsi “OpenSource”
Monday, July 7th, 2008Anyone know who’s responsible for this fun advert for Pepsi? In addition to loads of nice CG, there’s some great storytelling and pacing that keeps the spot from being a simple “say cow, see cow” interpretation of the interviewees’ ideal Pepsi ad.
I’m assuming JWT is the agency behind it, but I can’t find the scantest mention of the studio(s) that pulled it off.
UPDATE: Thanks to Dan in the comments, we now know that Glassworks handled the post-production. I’m requesting full credits and will post them here as soon as I get them.
Thanks to Gabriel Tremblay Grenier for the tip!
