I just love these videos. Brilliant. Beautiful. Simple. They are filled with frivolity and humor as well as thoughtfulness and seriousness.

They remind me so much of how we communicate with people all around us everyday on such a superficial level, which can be captured by the common greeting, “how are you doing” or “how’s it going.” These videos deal with that connection directly, and even take it a little further by starting to touch on part of the human condition: desire and self actualization.

Beyond the content of the work, both the music scores and the video/editing work create a mood and emotion that suits the content quite well. Its definitely worth your time to watch these videos, and I highly recommend it. They’ve given me a few ideas for a new project of my own.

So, what’s the question? “What do/would you wish to happen by the end of the day”
