The Mast Brothers: Using Video to Stand Out
August 31, 2010 by Administrator (comments: 0)
We had the pleasure of sampling some unique Vosges Chocolates. Though I tried a few flavors, bacon being one of them, my preference was the Black Pearl Bar made with wasabi, ginger and black sesame seeds. It was intriguing to taste all those flavors. I did a little research on high end chocolate and came across The Mast Brothers, located near the Brooklyn Channel in New York. The Mast Brothers are New York City's only bean to bar chocolate maker and one of just a hand full of true artisan chocolate makers in the United States. I'm not a die hard chocolate person, but after watching the video produced by The Scout Magazine, It's hard to imaging not visiting their shop on my next trip to New York. The video does an amazing job telling us who The Mast Brothers are and how their meticulous, quite, dedicated personalities make them a cut above other chocolate makers.

American Letterpress: Hatch Show Print
June 21, 2010 by Bob Burch (comments: 0)
This is a great video about Hatch Show Print, one of America's oldest letter press printing shops who's motto is "preservation through production". Every print they make is created by hand. They even use a rotary phone to call their customers to let them know the job is ready. Hatch Show Print keeps history alive by using the tools of the past. What I really find interesting is that there are so many retro ads and designs today in the market place. Most of them are now made digitally with new technology. Hatch Show Print does it the same way it was done over 100 years ago.

Objectified, a film by Gary Hustwit
June 16, 2010 by Bob Burch (comments: 0)
Friday I returned home from the studio to see a new Netflix DVD in my mailbox. The film, Objectified, by Gary Hustwit, is a feature-length documentary about our relationship with manufactured things. Through interviews with a robust list of today's designers, the film explores how objects become an extension of who we are as a people and individuals by looking at what we surround ourselves with. The documentary also takes a look at what objects will become in the future. An example that really stood out was one of digital cameras. Today's digital cameras are still shaped like film cameras, but do they really need to be?
