Sydney Opera House: The Ship Song Project - Moving Campaign for the Cultural Hub
/Behind the iconic sails of the Australian landmark.
The Sydney Opera House and agency Three Drunk Monkeys bring together some of the world's best artists to perform "The Ship Song." The effort is meant to showcase the Opera House as a contemporary cultural hub, and over a 10-month period, shot artists and groups performing at the center--including Neil Finn, Sarah Blasko and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra--singing the Nick Cave ballad.
The artists were shot moments before they began their performances at the House and accompanying the shots is footage from the rehearsal rooms and backstage areas of the Australian landmark.
Along with the video is a microsite as well as a 30-minute documentary narrated by actor Guy Pearce that will air this month.
I find this campaign really moving and enticing. The artistic juxtapositions, including a band performing on and around Australian Ballet's Nutcracker crates, highlight an universal truth, if you love some form of art you will be moved by another you consider foreign to you.
Amazing 3D Posters for the Band Dry The River

Yes, these posters for new band Dry The River really do feature a three-dimensional paper horse galloping forth. Created by FOAM / Sony Music Creative with no small amount of input from current intern Xavier Barrade (whose Epic Exquisite Corpse site went live last week) the posters went up around London.
