Exploit yourself is a Spec commercial inspired by NIKE.

Directed by Carl Erik Rinsch, Expliot yourself talks about your own limits. The commercial was produced in Big Lazy Robot Visual Effects studio from february to may.

Our wish was to show off the nerve and spark and freshness of the city with the strength and power of modern sport competition, all in a whole 3d environment.

Exploit Yourself talks about pushing your limits just for the sake of it.

Who said life at the city was placid?

Boag’s Draught: From The Pure Waters Of Tasmania Full Length
These pure waters are special, something goes in there, comes out different. But in a good way. Don’t know why, suppose it’s always been that way. Sure things don’t always turn out the way you expect, but nobody’s complaining. Because this water just… Makes things better.

There have been many successful POV videos to hit over the past few years (Last Day Dream, Wolverine, Nike Football, Smack My B*tch Up, etc).

However, this recent one from AB/CD/CD (via Frenzy, Paris) adds a playful twist to the tradition. I think I’ve also got a soft spot for this concept since it reminds me of the Headcrusher Skits from Kids in the Hall.

Although some of the compositing doesn’t quite hold up throughout, there are still some great moments.

oh.. and watch the darth vader part.

Despite having completed only two games to date, Team Ico are widely regarded as one of the most talented video game development groups around today. Their first game Ico, was a delightfully imaginative adventure game, taking control of a young boy having to solve countless puzzles to help a young girl escape a vast castle. The second was Shadow Of The Colossus, this time controlling another young boy, whom with the help of his horse, must defeat gigantic colossi enemies.

The third game by Team Ico, and their most anticipated to date, is The Last Guardian. Again the focal character is a young boy, this time navigating his way around an expansive land with a huge griffin-like creature. It’ll be the same classic action-adventure and puzzle game we saw in Ico, which is what the Japanese studio do best, and after a leaked proof of concept video, a full trailer premiered at E3 2009.
