MOVE

On rainy days like this, it's only natural that we're all going to get itchy feet and dream of warmer places.  This video was created by Australian freelance filmmaker and illustrator, Rick Mereki.  The finished product was made by three weary travellers over 44 days. They took 18 flights to span 11 countries and 38, 000 miles in order to make this amazing short film. If the rain doesn't do it, this montage is sure to kick our travel bug into action!

For those days when you've lost your whistle...

We all have days when we feel a bit down trodden, like we're not all that good at anything and that we've just lost our whistle.  I saw this video and I thought it summed days like these up - as everyone always gets their va va voom back, whatever the weather!  This little co-production venture between Trunk Animation in London and Dansk Tegnefilm in Denmark, was amazingly made using thousands of potato prints!  Brilliant!

Handmade!

I thought this was so darn sweet that it had to go on to 'The Little Things in Life.'  For Wallpaper* magazine's 'Handmade' issue, they asked dutch filmakers, Lernert & Sander, to create a film about bespoke tailoring.  In collaboration with Italian tailors, Brioni, this was the result - a hand has never looked so smart!
