Dream!

This video shows colour in motion....

Walter Van Beirendonck - Dream The World Awake

Mode Museum, Antwerp, Belgium

(Nick Knight's Fashion Film, Simon Foxton's selection of Walter Van Beirendoncks extensive

garment archive...)

At Bob and John we love the vivid shapes, bright colours and males in movement...

The video has been put together in a continuous manner with surprise after surprise of

Walters expertly designed pieces.....

The males walk/move/punch/dance their way through the outfits showing realistic

movements, energy and expression. Interacting with the clothes, interpreting the garments through movement.

BOB AND JOHN STOP MOTION

The video is a little crudely done as this was my first attempt!

Next time will need a trip-pod.

A series of images taken and made into a 12 second stop motion.

The idea behind this is to show the unzipping of the sleeves....

which will be different colours in the remade version!

Unzipping the possibilities....

Stop Motion Inspiration

This stop motion shows a story of a man, a kind of 'day in the life'.

It takes the mundane everyday processes of human repetition, approaching it in a comical way.

At one point the man changes his clothes which is an element us at Bob and John want to explore for possible advertising material.

The background music is called 'Chase' by the band Partyline. The song title of the song is fitting to the story of the stop motion...making this link is very important for creating a high impact concept and relationship between story and song.

This type of video can be humorous.....

The way you design the viral campaign can show what you stand for as a business and a way of exploiting design elements.

The idea of using the internet for viral advertising is an Eco friendly way of spreading the word about your business.

ART!

At Bob and John we have discovered the enquiring mind loves to make their own art to decorate homes or to channel creative energies...

We have found these MA developing forms from Louise Hall

The current manipulation of porcelain products Louise Hall has been thinking of contemporary ways to photograph and display her works. The images in her most recent blog post shows the juxtaposition between the delicate porcelain and weathered surfaces.
