We finally had a chance to take a leave of absence from the home offices and travel down to Portland for a visit with our good friends at Fried Egg I’m In Love.

Tacoma band Goldfinch has a new album out—and it’s being officially released at the upcoming CATHEDRALS Tacoma. We captured them performing one of the songs for the new album—accompanied by an original dance piece—in the historic Immanuel Presbyterian. Also this video from the same night of their cover of Perfume Genius’ Hood:

video // Musical Plates : Kris Orlowski
Third time’s indeed a charm for Seattle’s only (and best!) mobile food tour. This time around, Kris Orlowski‘s melodic pop complemented White Moustache’s four-wheeled foodie foray up, down and all over town into some of Seattle’s best kept culinary secrets.
We’re firm believers that White Moustache gastro-guide Bryce Lathrop is one part Bacchanalian storyteller, two parts food anthropologist and three parts epicurean shaman. Meaning, he has the epicure for all that ails you, and you’ll emerge from your food coma two days later boasting some anecdotal cultural history to boot. On this particular tour, Bryce played raconteur and the band played songs catchier than hell and everyone filled their bellies with an all-vegetarian menu.
Above is a first glimpse at the night—the video we produced of Orlowski and co.’s performance at the delicious and sparkling Grub.
Here’s another clip we created as a survey of the entire evening:

video // Metropolitan Market celebrates local
We love supporting our local market—especially when they support local farms and producers. Metropolitan Market has become a go-to source for excellent, locally-sourced foods and we’ve recently had the good fortune to work with them as a client.
A couple months ago they asked us to capture a few of nearby vendors for a series of short videos as part of a “Celebrate Local” campaign. Visiting local farms, orchards and distilleries and learning a little about them while making a video was more like fun than work for us. Drinking a cold soda outside a circa 1935 grocery store in the middle of pastoral farmlands while waiting to meet a berry farmer—it’s right up our alley!
Take a look for yourselves:

client // Interllingua
The Art Dept. has gone global.
The Spain-based translation firm Interllingua was embarking upon a brand re-boot and asked us to help them through the process.
With the creation of their logo, we immediately found ourselves playing with concepts of translation. Real language translation moves beyond just interpreting words—it truly interprets meaning.
To this end, we designed a logo that incorporated graphic elements with a double meaning—quotation marks altered to resemble speech bubbles:
We placed the open quotes below the name and the closed quotes above so that the “speech” almost seems to travel through Interllingua and come back out again—the same, but transformed. This speech bubble motif was additionally carried out in their letterhead and business card:
We also worked with them to distill their promotional goals into a clearly-written, engaging, visually interesting brochure and Web site.
The site was duplicated and translated into the five other languages. Interllingua will be able to continually update and evolve the content on their site through their interactive blog and social networking features.
We’re excited to see where their new identity and marketing tools take them!

video // Cult Tacoma : Cathedrals Tacoma
The second much-anticipated Tacoma Cathedrals show, presented by the Broadway Center for the Performing Arts, filled Tacoma’s Immanual Presbyterian Church with the luminous sounds of local and independent musicians. We were on hand to film the event for Cult Tacoma.
Above, check out the arresting performance of headliner David Bazan‘s Strange Negotiations as backed with an original arrangement by Andrew Joslyn and his Passenger String Quartet.
Then watch the gorgeously executed performance by Pretty Broken Things:

video // Musical Plates : OK Sweetheart
Lucky, lucky us. We again had the good fortune of joining Seattle’s only (and best!) mobile food tour as it added a local band to the mix for a night of indie pop, mouthwatering eats and a four-wheeled foray up, down and all about town and into some of Seattle’s best kept culinary secrets.
We’re firm believers that White Moustache gastro-guide Bryce Lathrop is one part Bacchanalian storyteller, two parts food anthropologist and three parts epicurean shaman. Meaning, he has the epicure for all that ails you and you’ll emerge from your food coma two days later boasting some anecdotal food history to boot. In a perfect interlacing of the senses, he invited one of our favorite up-and-coming bands OK Sweetheart to serenade a busload of gleefully gluttonous traveling tastebuds. Bryce played raconteur and the band played songs sweeter than milk and honey and everyone filled their bellies with cupcakes, barbecue, fried pickles and heaven.
Take a look at the video above (or the shorter videos below) for a glimpse at the night.
