I have no idea what the title means either but zZz is playing: Grip, is the first video of Roel Wouters aka Xelor. it’s a one take, top shot music video with trampoline gymnasts simulating typical video effects. The video has been recorded live, as part of the opening ‘Nederclips’ at the Stedelijk museum ’s-Hertogenbosch SM’S (curated by Bart Rutten). Amazing.

Taxidermy is a long running obsession of mine, much to the delight of Mrs. Likeyoulike, to me it’s like seeing little friends brought back from the afterlife and made to stand for all eternity in realistic-live-action-poses®.

The incomparable Wieden + Kennedy site is over here - aside from producing some great advertising over the years there seems to be a culture of excellence at work here - a great example of a company that lives and breathes creativity PLUS the site itself is nunchuks at flash with some tasty blog content thrown in as well. Walk it like you talk it.
Ok, it’s been a while and I shouldn’t have left you but now I’m back and to start the ball rolling I’d like you to meet some of my little friends that live over at the zoo. There’ll be some more link goodness coming later on in, but if you’really want to get things rolling you can start by sending me some friends from the North American collection (like this little guy).
