Element Trio: Chad Tim Tim
On Friday, Element’s Trio video launched with it’s first part from Chad Tim Tim. What was planned to be a part for the now defunct Sole video, the footage and project were briefly shelved while a new plan and project were developed. Which evolved into Trio, three video parts, from three of Element’s best, released once a week over three weeks.
From the inception, this project saw many twists. From the original intent of the video project, to the theme, name and riders involved. There were meetings, there were talks, there were changes. And in when the whole thing was a sitting duck, Ricki “The Dude” Bedenbaugh, who was never going to give up on the project came through with the intro you see here.
It was all over after that. The project was renamed and revamped. And now here we are, 2 parts away from an amazing video.
Got to tip my hat to everyone involved.
Nike: The Human Chain
Dammit Nike, you did it again. Another amazing commercial.
Thanks to Ryan for the tip.
*Update — 02.18.10
Filmer extraordinaire and all time date keeper (you would not believe how this guy can recall dates of events), Ricki “The Dude” brought to my attention something which I had completely over looked when I posted this.
A few years ago, DVS had a series of commercials that are very similar this Nike spot. The series was called Echo.
BS & Annalemma Magazine
Your favorite Arts and Literature magazine, Annalemma, just posted a new feature today. Just happens that Chris fellow over there, happened to run a photo of mine to pair with the story written by Ben Tanzer, “Goddess”.
See the full photo over at Annalemma or after the jump.
Chase Heavener 2009 Year in Pictures
What is this, two post this year for Chase? He’s probably gonna get some sort of an ego from this, but I’ll be damned if he doesn’t take great photos.
Every year Chase pulls together his favorite photos from the year, makes some sort of video and puts them up on the web. This year he took it an extra step, printed out his favorite forty at Mama Sauce Print Shoppe. Signed um and gave um out at gifts. It looks as if he might have forget to print, probably the best of the eighty tho.

Feel it all Around
Sometimes my friends make things and sometimes these things end up all over the place. This is one of those things that’s all over the place.
Animal Instincts
I got animal love, you better believe it. I also got love for friends … put those two together and you get the opening night of Animal Instincts.
This group show was to benefit the Humane Society. It also featured one of Amber B.’s lovely new characters and plenty of other great art. There are some more pics up on my Flickr page.
More about the show and a description of Amber’s Cellula here.
Lori just posted some more photos and words at the Eden Blog.
Passion for the Details
Hell yeah I like seeing how stuff gets made … who doesn’t? I’ve always been a huge fan of seeing the process it takes to create, well, anything really. Which is probably the reason that I can sit and stare at How It’s Made for hours on end. The only difference between that show and these videos here are the production and direction that goes into them.
I recently came across the Passion for the Details video by Bespoken Clothiers while scrolling through the pages of Esquire. Which after seeing reminded me of this amazing commercial that pals Craig Metzger and Kirk Dianda created awhile back. I know both of those guys have extreme attention to details and both are amazing to work along side of.
Both are executed exceptionally well and romanticized the detailed process that goes into making a product.
Annalemma: Now Fulfilling Your Wildest Dreams
Great, now that I have your attention, I’d like to take this interweb-moment to tell you about the new Annalemma site. Friend of us here at The BS Command Post, Chris Heavener has been up to some tricky business down there at the Annalemma HQ. He’s taken that special space on the web and did it up for a Saturday nigh out on the town.
Now, why don’t you follow this over to the all new Annalemma and poke around the new features. Yes, tell your friends and their parents.
*Wildest dream fulfillment not guaranteed to all customers.
Let Me Show You My Letterpress
Recently Chase, Chris, and Crew visited Nick of Mama’s Sauce Print Shoppe while he was printing Annalemma’s new business cards. They decided to lug over their Canon 5D Mark II to shoot a mini piece about Nick’s new Kluge 12×18 Automatic Letterpress.
Elegantly shot and edited, this is one of my favorite things Chase has made.
Chris also shot some photos while they were there.
Enjoy and be jealous that you don’t have one of these in your studio apartment, like me.
Novella Royalle
Novella Royale was inspired by the concept of designing luxury handbags without creating waste from new materials. The leather from each bag is hand cut from vintage jackets, making each piece a one-of-a-kind in color, distressing and seaming.
