Best job in the world
The P&G olympic ad nearly made me cry. What a wet flannel.
Go all day
Gatorade’s short ‘one take’ film “Go all day” is beautiful. The colour is particularly nice with very on trend pastels.

Domino’s

Tug of Store

Andrew Zuckerman
I went back and watched some of Andrew Zuckerman’s videos recently and this lecture is particularly good with him explaining his process. I admire his ability to do what he is good at and stick to it. Person/animal in front
