Johnny Kelly’s Play for YouTube
Nexus Production’s director Johnny Kelly just made this short film for YouTube Play, an exhibition that YouTube and the Guggenheim Museum in NYC are calling “a Biennial of Creative Video” and which you can submit or nominate your own non-commercial work to right now; submissions are open until July 31st. Johnny’s piece is top-notch, encapsulating the Youtube experience in life-size sets which reference famous art works and also run the gamut from wood-grain explosions to rocky caves to circuit-boards and geometric cityscapes, all using the familiar Youtube play button as a central motif.

Pledge To See This Film
This video marks our first collaboration with takepart.com and our second with Participant Media and director Davis Guggenheim (we worked on a little Oscar winning documentary he directed called, “An Inconvenient Truth”). All backslapping and name tossing aside, this animation is for a startling documentary called, “Waiting For ‘Superman’” that highlights some very serious issues in America today and it made us feel good to make it.
