watchout we're starting a dance crew.

virus-free virals

blah, blah, blah, we helped lolli make these virals for apple, and jaz was 'mac': the personification of apple, the man impervious to disease.

he bitched like a little girl and wouldn't run around in biohazard zones, or juggle with test tubes of ebola, or snuggle up next to a TB patient, like we originally wanted him to do for the films. so we wound up with these instead.

sorry to disappoint.

leave mean comments hating on the fool yoh!

click em to go to youtube and see the other two virals in the series. or just click these links:

ten second rule

do not the language neglect not

we did this series of posters to promote the 2009 pendoring awards as well as their perennial cause: use of the afrikaans language in advertising.
it's pretty simple: we directly translated a bunch of iconic advertising catchphrases from their original afrikaans into english so as to demonstrate how incomprehensibly impotent and bizarre they would’ve been sonder die taal.
oh, then we totally anti-art directed them to make it even more comically ridiculous.
btw, the pay-off line 'moenie die taal akskeep nie' used at the bottom is the official one - we didn't make it up.

- go hit them to see the full sizes and another one at flickr
- oh yeah, sorry for being away for so long.

'arvey st. claire

just a little piece i thought i'd put up from my harvey st. claire project
i'm
enjoying
it
quite
a
bit

the four one was eight

a little piece of this over-ambitious project i went and set myself. watch out. if i succeed there'll be one main-oke sized update on the 11th of november. massive. i swear.

they look a little small. there are bigger versions at flickr if you actually wanna see them

jesse is starving.

bekhoz your first idea is never your best

so. this might seem juvenile to you. it is. but bear with us. there is a gigantic piece of 'paper' painted onto the copy room wall. complete with no perspective. or artistic merit. it was a bad idea. we protested but were over-ruled. it went up anyway.

we have now made our protest. in satire. a massive sappi paper recycling bin has been erected/pasted alongside this piece of 'paper'. yes, it is a hint. and just to make sure it wasn't too childish, we've disguised it as a cute little ambient advert for sappi recycling. with the lovely little line: bekhoz your first idea is never your best.

apologies if all this isn't entirely clear in the vid, we whacked it together in a moment, and figured we'd let the write up make it less bizarre. hope it did.



oh, we'll pop this on youtube soon, vega's just being a power fail with the internet atm, and appears to have shut down youtube. flickr will have to do for now.
love mong

i beat kyle at fifa 09 today

here it is, finished, the labour of a campaign and alot of time between coming up with creative concepts and smoking cigarettes

oh yes it was for arup engineering, and its small chad wil fix it later

- chad has fixed it.

oh creds where they're due: backing track = foals, big big love (fig. 2), off antidotes.
and the magnificent voice over is by mr. mnet (real name to follow soon)

- thanks chad
- you're a darling
- hope your not too ill
- have a safe flight home
- im at college

from july at august in september

a few images from the exhibition nick and jaz (fill in the blanks - they're linked under the soviets, stop reading this and go there instead) had at august house in early july.

they're super grainy, but i'll pretend it was the effect i was going for - fast film 'n all, what can one do.

hit one to go see some more at flickr

angie had a birthday

indeed she did - happy birthday yoh!

well got a few shots, there's a couple more on flickr - click any of these to go see them.

if you can actually be bothered, of course

ever get the feeling you just wanna kill yourself

we're now about.. +/- 6 days away from finishing campaigns and i think i might miss this whole "having a reason to welcome death", don't know why? could be all the late nights, bonding sessions, blurred vision, fits of rage and all the drama that goes with it

but before this starts sounding like steven spielberg's "saving private ryan" im going to be pretty excited for its end, because it's been fun but i literally feel like i'm about to turn into a zombie, kill and eat the flesh of every other student there is in this building

just campaigning around

so this is my next 'practice' the kinetic video that will hopefully go somewhere

moron's 

also jesse is such a sharp sounding name, i'd rather be called charlie

sharpish

infact i really have very little to say, the image is just doing it all for me.

paper machete

so i have a kinetic type video to do pretty soon, but i've never touched after effects before so this was the labour of an all-nighter just for practice

its not too great but at the same time i don't think is particularly disgusting
