A new society?

Jan 24, 2013 By Maria Pia in Communication, Social media, Video No Comments Tags: Generation Y, Life, Society, Work

Do you ever pause and reflect on the questions: “What are you doing right now? Is it something that you love?”

Generation Y is rethinking the boundaries of work-life, transforming the paradigm of the workplace and creating a new society.

This video ponders on these questions and presents the outcome of several studies developed by Box1824 – a Brazilian research company that specializes in behavioral sciences and consumer trends.

Apr 1, 2012 By Catherine // main editor in Economize, Fun, Video No Comments

Hilarious! Yes alright, even productivity has it’s limits. The worst part is that I kind of did believe/get my hopes up when I saw Google’s in-browser promotion for Google Chrome Multitask:

Jiro Dreams of Sushi – Human aspects of defining success [+videos]

Mar 18, 2012 By Catherine // main editor in Aesthetic, Fun, Life, Video No Comments Tags: Art

Jiro Dreams of Sushi is about something as simple and yet complicated as doing better. It is an amazing and inspiring documentary with intricate and delicate movement in it. Not about money, but about pride in what you do. The movie appeals to so many sides in people. It is for those interested in food, photography, cinematography, music, and maybe most importantly, the human aspects of defining success – and the price of perfection.  Continue reading

Bang & Olufsen launch B&O Play

Jan 16, 2012 By Catherine // main editor in Aesthetic, Branding, Video No Comments Tags: Design

The Danish world-renowned company Bang & Olufsen has launched a new sub-brand called B&O Play at the CES 2012 (The International Consumer Electronics Show). It is an interesting new strategy for them and which targets a new and wider demographic.

Still upscale, but in search of an optimal design solution in between portability, performance and price, the strategy draws its creative input from the experience of young designers coming from varied backgrounds outside the consumer electronics industry: the art scene, fashion and furniture industry.

First featured is the BeoLit 12, a wireless iDevice speaker. More info and specifications in the source link and the videos hereafter.

Generation Y

Jan 11, 2012 By Maria Pia in Aesthetic, Communication, Fun, Life, Video No Comments Tags: En français, Graphic design, Illustration / Drawing

This is an extremely well done video (in terms of narrative and animation) by Adesias about our generation (people born between 1980 and 2000) – the Generation Y.

Thanks to the Internet, we have at our disposal new & constant access to information and new ways of exchanging knowledge and socializing. This powerful and illustrative video really makes one think about the drastic changes in the past decade.

More videos in their portfolio on their site and on vimeo.

Where gas comes from!

Jan 4, 2012 By Catherine // main editor in Communication, Fun, Video No Comments Tags: Educational, Promotion

I like the engaging idea of linking this fun, illustrative and educational video with a competition launched by the utility company Frederiksberg Forsyning. Answers to questions can be found within the video’s explanation of where the local gas stems from – (translation: natural gas is pumped up and mixed with 50% air).

Move!

Dec 15, 2011 By Maria Pia in Life, Video No Comments Tags: Travel, World

To move means amongst other definitions to change position, or to make someone or something change position.

Nothing represents this better than this 1 minute STA Travel Australia video by Rick Mereki, Andrew Lees  and Tim White. It’s about an incredible journey around the world featuring captivating flashing images of Andrew walking towards the camera with backgrounds from different corners of the world.
The overall message I get out of this video is: travel, move, live!
Make sure to live your everyday life along this concept! Always be on the move! Get out there! Have fun! It’s the only way to feel alive!
