Sipping Jetsreams

I heard somewhere that there are more planes in the sky at any given time, than parking lots on the ground. Everyone travels with different intentions to different destinations, inspired to find a different direction towards life.

Taylor Steele's film SIpping Jetstreams is the most inspiring film I have watched ever, dedicated towards exploration. More than that, it highlighted a movement. The film combines four men passionate about shooting artistic images based around the surf industry and travel. During their trip Dustin Humphrey took on different shooting angles and created a fantastic oversized book to go alongside the movie. They explored Morocco, Hong Kong, Italy, Egypt, Japan, Cuba and Barbados with some of the worlds best surfers. I can't recommend this film enough.

"It's the idea of going to a place and not just surfing but appreciating the people, the customs, and the diversity of life. Travel and interacting with others improves us all."

Honda's Story

Michele D'Auria's demonstrates his insight of The Honda Story in a 10 minute short film, about their slogan, 'The power of dreams.'
He produces a simple yet powerful idea, by illustrating characters and reconstructing them in After Effects. His drawings come to life in the film as Soichiro Honda invents the motorcycle in his sleep through the blowing wind. The idea's are simple yet executed brilliantly, along with a fitting sound track.
