10 Days of YYC’s favorite videos
For the next 10 days leading up to Christmas, we are going to share with you guys some of our favorite videos that have done at least one, if not all, of the following:
- Inspired us to create
- Forced ourselves to learn a new technical skill
- Made us laugh
- Gave us chills
- Motivated us to push our creative limits
- Caused us to argue about “How in the world they did that?!?!”
- Did I mention inspire us?
The first video comes from Theory Films of the good ole United Kingdom. They are an extremely talented and successful (not to mention award-winning) film and video production company who are proud to call themselves HDSLR specialists. I mention that last part because we, too, shoot on HDSLRs and feel we are in good company. The Theory, as they refer to themselves, have an impressive roster of clients and an equally impressive portfolio. Seeing these guys’ work and success is encouraging because I imagine their story isn’t too different from our humble beginning here at YYC. Who knows, maybe someday a young video production will be blogging about one of our videos?
So this particular short is called “Address is Approximate - A Google Street View / Robot inspired stop motion short.” You may have already seen this little gem as its “virality” has been increasing over the past few weeks. The concept behind the video reminds me of something I would have thought of as a child, which may be why I loved it so much. It’s fun and exciting to watch, but at the same time there are elements of sadness and false hope mixed into the impressive visuals. I’m sure I could sit here and go into all the subtle analogies that it may, or may not, be trying to make, but I’ll spare you all of that conjecture and let you enjoy the video for what it really is … a nice little getaway from being stuck in the office.
Enjoy? Let us know …
