It's all about perspective



The scale of this video will knock your socks off, a very designer retro piece of film by Charles and Ray Eames, the clever, multi-disciplinary husband and wife duo.

Wild thing I, I think I love you

It's much anticipated and if the trailer is anything to go by, Spike Jonze's interpretation of Maurice Sendak's classic book 'Where the Wild Things Are' is going to be sensational.

View the trailer here.

The Raftman's Razor


Sit back and enjoy this captivating film. I don't want to analyse it, or over think it, but it is beautiful it its own unique way. Thanks Jemma for this fabulous find.Sit back and enjoy this captivating film. I don't want to analyse it, or over think it, but it is beautiful it its own unique way.

President's Lectures


No not that president! I'm talking about the D&AD President's Lectures. Last Wednesday we (myself and fellow Diglets, Pete, Joe and Elise) hotfooted it down to Holborn to watch Garrick Hamm ( I shall not indulge how big a fan of this man and his work I am, that's another story) introduce his first lecture as the current President.

For those who don't know D&AD stands for Design and Art Direction; it's a not-for-profit organisation that inspires creatives globally, encourages them to aim high and show-cases the best in the industry and in creative education. It's a tough job, they organise D&AD New Blood. New Blood is where new top graduates can exhibit work but also they can meet real life potential employers. This is how I got my job at Digit; I met the wonderful Henry, Art Director, we had a banter-ful conversation, he saw my work and not long later I was their new intern, but that's another story also. I like D&AD, I especially like their lectures and this one was by Kyle Cooper.

Kyle Cooper is a very entertaining speaker who is best known for creating film titles; Seven, Spiderman, Mission Impossible and Ironman to name a few. Although he does so much more than that too, all in all it was a passionate and genuine talk that enthused us and made us want to make film titles! Thank you Mr Cooper.

Is it a bird, is it a fashion statement?

I had to share these incredible films by fashion photographer Sølve Sundsbø, working in collaboration with SHOWstudio, Sundsbø has produced a series of films and spectacular images of a parakeet, although they can't seem to decide which spelling to use for their show: Parroquet, Perroquet?

View the films HERE, gorgeous slow motion flight filmed on high-speed cameras and then graded in post-production by The Mill, to create rich, vibrant and intoxicating short films.
