The Province has a gallery of photos from the set of the new Circlesquare video, Dancers. The gallery goes behind the scenes and was shot by Arlen Redekop. There’s also a feature on the band in today’s print edition, written by Tom Harrison. They briefly mention the video.
The Province is one of the two major daily newspapers in British Columbia.
Fuck yeah 2009! We’re all very excited about all the rad new projects going on around here: new secret music videos, new branding projects, and more.
We’re currently in Hawaii getting some much needed R&R, shooting photos, and having online production meetings over the hotel’s poolside wi-fi while nursing some wicked coral burn.
We’re proud to announce the relaunch of Lotusmodern.com. We’ve always thought that Lotusmodern moved faster than the web could handle. Powered by Tumblr with a design by Mignolo, we finally have resources to do it right.
OMG! We finally updated our reel!
Zoo openned at the grace-gallery in Vancouver on October 23, 2008.
It was an exhibit of a series of 13 Cintra-mounted digital Lightjet prints.
With tongue in cheek, I present a collection of black and white prints. Created from found photographs of animals, the creatures have been consciously altered, possessing human faces that gaze directly at the viewer.
If Zoo brings to mind the following ideas, then you have been graced (sic) with some knowledge of critical theory, making you part of the dying culture of the intellectual. That said, if nothing that follows these words makes sense to you, just enjoy the funny pictures. (more…)
I guess it might be a diary of sorts. A very selective diary written in a kind of visual shorthand that you may or may not have to be fucked up to decipher.
The Great Escape is a collection of photographs documenting distractions, shenannigans, and hijinx from the last two years. This, of course, means that if we ran into you some time between January 2006 and March 2008, there’s probably a photo of you in the book. Preview it here. It’s available in softcover, hardcover, or with a dust jacket. Get your copy now at Blurb.

We have recently completed the music video for Circlesquare’s “Timely,” off their upcoming album, Songs about Drugs and Dancing. Sadly, this video will not be released. ; )
At the Kijów.Centrum cinema in Krakow late last night, Fight Sounds screened with a lot of ther great music videos. Continue reading for the full programme.
The Genie Awards are like the Oscars but for Canadian films. The awards are given out by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television. The Tracey Fragments received six nominations this year, including Best Director (Bruce MacDonald), Best Actress (Ellen Page), and Best Editing (Gareth Scales and Jeremiah Munce). Two clips from the film were selected for the awards ceremonies’ trailer, one of which was the internal title sequence we designed for the film.
Fido was also nominated for three awards, but most of the work we did on that film got cut. Thanks Lionsgate.
A photo of the elusive Bienvenido Cruz was used to accompany a short story by Sam Kerr in this year’s Holiday issue of Ion Magazine. Shot by Sanaz Afshar, this photo is not unlike the footage of the equally elusive Sasquatch captured by Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin. One can also contemplate the irony of the story’s title (The Outside Man) and Mr. Cruz’s love/hate relationship with the “Art World.”
We’ve shot Fake Shark-Real Zombie! live before, but last Friday was different. This time we had three video cameras to capture a live show that not many live through.
Someone told us that the video we directed for Circlesquare‘s Fight Sounds Pt. 1 is now screening at Vice Magazine‘s online video site, VBS.tv. We have no idea how it got there.
One our photographs of Parker from Fake Shark-Real Zombie! landed in this month’s issue of Discorder. The shot was taken at their March 15th show at the Lamplighter.
After two long days at the aptly named Sweatshop, principal photography was completed for a new music video for the upcoming Circlesquare album. Timely is produced by Nathan Drillot, directed by Bienvenido Cruz, with cinematography by Catherine Lutes. Thanks to everyone who came to help out. We had so much fun.
Well… maybe not, but something got fucked up, and bad too. Thanks to the efforts of William at OntheWeb4Life.com, our site is now back up, minus some missing portfolio items. Yes, we should’ve been more careful about backing shit up, but we’re busy fucking people, ok? So we’re going to start puting up the most recent shit you missed while we were down, and then start backdating some older eyecandy for you. Dig?
