The ‘Young and Connected’ is a brilliant and hilarious series of idents for C4. The project was Directed by Sam Cadman at Rogue and edited by Andy McGraw at Cut+Run, and are rife with bold humor and spot-on casting and art direction. ‘Dynasty’ big hair, equally grand actions and key shots of the LG phone are united with classic tag lines and cliffhangers. The storylines hinge on the drama that social networking can inject into the modern and uber connected world.

The ‘Telenovela’ style campaign can be seen at its ‘YouTube’ channel: http://www.youtube.com/youngandconnected.

Max Windows and Chris McKay also spent many hours on ‘the making of’ Young and Connected that can also be seen on YouTube.

Toshiba - Turbo Talker - (2010) 2:00 (USA)

Directed by the Docter Twins, of Mortar Inc., the films go behind-the-scenes of Toshiba’s “Laptop Expert Lab”, a wacky, fictional environment where computer scientists test the Toshiba laptop’s clever features. In this one, the poor students are expected to repeat everything the turbo-talking professor says.

If this lady and the fast talking man had babies, I bet they'd break the soundbarrier when talking.

Toshiba - Multi-Tasking - (2010) - (USA)

In multi-tasking the students reactions are genuine - as dancers boogie around them and rock-musicians do their riffs they try and take a test in less than five minutes.

Sequestered until the very last moment, the students had no idea what was about to happen to them. That meant the Docter Twins had only one chance to capture the perfect take. They even went as far as to individually escort the students into and out of the lab through separate doors, so as to not have them see other students and blow the surprise. Multiple cameras and extensive rehearsals with the crew made for an authenticity that is palpable on screen.

Toshiba: 8-bit Gary (2010) 2:00 (USA)

Docter Twins filmed at the Mann Biomedical Park, a former Lockheed Martin aerospace research facility used to test jet engines. Grounding the outlandish experiments in a real, authentic environment was a clear directive from the directors. This attention to subtle, physical detail noticeably permeates through every aspect of the project, including production design, casting, and ultimately performance.

All you really want to know is though: what the heck is that 8-bit suit made of? It's fantastic! It's 3000 hand-cut pieces of foam. Must have taken ages. Trivia, the suit is not worn by Gary.

Toshiba - About The Lab - (2010) 1:13 (USA)

This is the film that starts the web series at Toshiba Expert Lab, directed by the DOCTER TWINS for Y&R.

SONY 3D TV - This is 3D

When Sony 3D TV engaged Jonathan Glazer to create their latest advert there's no ninnying about with silly images showing you (on your less than stellar TV set) how PURDY it'll all become with 3D. Nor are there any families doing 3D impossible things to explain the 3D experience. Nope. Glazer simply 3D-blurs up all sorts of awesome action, including a perfectly scrumptious goal-explosion at the end and the line taunts: This is 3D TV. Maybe it's time to get a 3D TV. If I do, can I see that explosion again, but in 3D?

*runs downstairs, slams door, sound of tires screeching*
