Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder



It seems awfully quite around here. I've given myself the last couple of weeks off to catch up on down time, collect my thought and generally get my life in some kinda order. Did I manage that order, I'm not so sure, but I'm in a better place for trying. We can't fail or succeed without trying, and no matter which category you efforts fall in you'll always be better off with the experience gained from giving it a shot. I did however find some clear order with my Instagram account.

This short animated video by London-based award winning filmmaker Alex Goddard feels fitting to me at the moment - slightly off-beat, always thinking positively, tuned in, but ultimately a little unsure of where my place is.

EYES by Lucas Zanotto



Take a look at 01:25 minutes of simplistic creativity by Lucas Zanotto. EYES! Well, as the saying goes, "if you can't find inspiration then you're not looking hard enough".

First seen on Swiss Miss, but to be enjoyed by all.

A Day In The Life | My Skincare Routine

 

Take a look at this short video we created with online grooming + skincare store Mankind. They followed me around for a day - on a recent stop over in Manchester - to get a proper looking into the kind of things I get up to on a regular day. The film takes you through my morning + evening skincare routine, which includes a bunch of my current favourite products, as well as a couple of regular stop-offs in the city.

  Nice to play around with a little more video, no?

  Thanks for visiting,
  Mat.

Musical Chairs by Lernert & Sander x COS



Six furniture designers + one game of musical chairs. A simple idea, created by Dutch design studio Lernert & Sander for COS' AW16 party collection. Sometimes brands struggle to bring a real sense personality into their campaigns, or go the total opposite direction by creating something too in-your-face COS has found a suitable middle-ground which fits their understated, yet playful characteristics perfectly.

Danny MacAskill's Wee Day Out



Another one of Danny MacAskill's videos for you to enjoy his Wee Day Out, where Danny takes on all the obstacles that rural Scotland has to offer.

Like his other videos, this one is so spectacular in places that it's hard to believe it's actually real. Good job that Red Bull and GoPro have provided some behind-the-scenes clips too that show just how he rode a hay bale and cycled through a six foot puddle.

No doubt, this video will be as popular as the last one we featured - and we can't wait to see what else he has in store.

The Art of Making a Tennis Ball by Benedict Redgrove

How to make a Tennis Ball by Benedict Redgrove


If you only watch one video today let it be this curiosity. The art of creating a tennis ball is waaaaaaay more complex and fascinating that you'd imagine! This short video takes you through the 24 steps each tennis ball goes through before it is ready for the court. Just wait 'till the neon green comes in shot...

Created by visual artist Benedict Redgrove for ESPN, and shot at the Wilson factory.

The Oxford Shirt in 50 Steps by ASKET



Factory and design videos are a little bit of an obsession. I guess it gives us a certain connect to the product we may potentially spend our money on, but also gives you the sense of the process each item goes through. Step-by-step, we get to see each pair of hands the item passes through, and the skill it takes to create the finished product be that manual or machine-driven.

However I do find a lot of these short documentaries a little throwaway - sometimes you barely get to consider each movement, and it all becomes a little too "oh we best make one of those videos". This short film by ASKET, shot inside a family-run factory just outside Braga, Portugal, manages to squeeze the 50 steps it takes to create one of their new Oxford shirts, into 03:09. Yet it doesn't feel rushed or ill-considered. In fact, it's set at just the right pace for me to take it all in and enjoy.

Press play and enjoy The Oxford Shirt in 50 Steps. See our review of ASKET's essentials here.

Danny McAskill's Cascadia Rooftop Video



I might be a bit late to the party on this one, but something tells me that this video won't get old quick. The man from Skye, Danny McAskill, is at it again, blowing our minds with his precision perfect bike skills, all set to the vibrantly coloured rooftop backdrop of Gran Canaria, Spain.

Press play and enjoy (side note, this video has over 14 million views!).
