Alternate Uses for Bulldog Clips – A Gallery

Our account services team is obsessed with bulldog clips. We suspect this is the way they manage the world and the unruliness of creative people and client expectations. But there’s something overwhelming about arriving, pre-coffee, to a stack of dockets neatly bulldogged…

Summer: we summons you, we serenade you.
And it sounds like:
Yoohoo!
morphing into
Yeehaa!

Moodboard Monday – Deep Summer part II

The old rule of physical activity: start cool, warm up?
It doesn’t apply any more.

Today’s Deep Summer moodboard? A July hike up to Rainbow Lake that began in shorts and tshirt, and ended in jacket, gloves and toque.
Happy Monday.

72 Hour Filmmaker Showdown Winners – the winning moodboard and the winning show

Whistler-based design freelancer Quentin Emeriau was inspired in equal parts by our moodboard theme and his shortage of tickets for last night’s 72 Hour Filmmaker Showdown, to whip together this little storyboard in homage to the speed, endurance, creativity and caffeine that sustains the production of almost 50 short films over one 72 hour period [...]

Arc’teryx’s Tom Duguid on Jordan Manley collaboration / Tom Duguid d’Arc’teryx nous parle de la collaboration avec l’artiste Jordan Manley

Commercials, because of the massive changes in viewing habits, rise of the PVR and its choke-grip on the 30 second spot, are taking one of two tacks to attract attention: cheesy, spoofy, entertaining, satirizing their very commerciality, or artistic, filmic, anti-commercials.
Last winter’s Arc’teryx feature series of short films from acclaimed photographer Jordan Manley fell in [...]
