Merry Christmas Everyone!

Just wanted to take a minute to actually wish you all a Merry Christmas… and an even happier New Year.

To do so – a motion graphic from my friend Mel. Get down with her work at www.melodiepapp.com.

With Our Eyes On The Prize.

From The Overflow 2010 pre-launch campaign. We dressed up the twitter as well which you can follow at: http://www.twitter.com/overflowyouth

Operators Are Standing By.

A big apology to those who may have tried to contact me at info@mattymorgs.com. The company I had been hosting with simply vanished without saying anything so I have temporarily lost the domain name. Of course, the good news is that I also have www.mattymorgs.ca happening so please direct people here and you can now contact me at info@mattymorgs.ca.

If that was you trying to reach me – please try again. I’d love to chat and see how I can make it up to.

Matt.

Next Is Now Is Yesterday.

Spent this past weekend working Overflow: Next (www.overflowyouth.com) and it definitely went off. No doubt a rush as the event neared but the team killed it all weekend long… well minus that moment we thought we lost 6 macs. This year’s screen setup featured a widescreen made up of 3 individuals allowing us to switch between 3 seperate visuals or one complete wide – below that we had a team of artists making some beauty happen on a massive wall as the event rolled on – it looked great so have a look in the portfolio at: http://www.thebrosociates.com/clients/overflow/.

All in all, 2000+ turned out, over $33 000 was raised for Life Campaign (www.lifecampaign.org), we got our fruit-to-go’s in the zit pit, and as always a total honour to do this thing with friends.

Lovein’ The Empire

Heading downtown tomorrow to shoot and make some magic happen with friend and fellow ruler of Love The Empire, Sir Peter of Klassen. Should be a good one shooting and prepping for the upcoming album and all the fun and creativity that comes out of that. Hopefully we can drop an update on how our day goes tomorrow. And in the meantime, check out the first single “This Life” at www.myspace.com/lovetheempire. (which consequently, is about to get a massive overhaul).

Keep Adding Water.

A work in progress. Friends over at the Life Campaign have been killin’ it with over $100 THOUSAND(and counting) raised to deal with the water crisis… we’ve been working with them on the latest pieces of the ad campaign so check it out. And below a photo of the tour and the official video in case you don’t know what it’s all about. Follow what Darcy and the team are up to at: www.lifecampaign.org

Something Beautiful.

Had the immense pleasure over the last couple months of working with housebeautiful. Yep, that’s lowercase with the period. Essential. It’s been fun taking this thing from the initial concept to what we’ve got in our hands today. So now we have what should make its way onto the record.

This piece is about the idea that at the heart of chaos there’s this place of rest. I decided to explore a bit of what creates that longing… there are a number of elements at play here such as the water or smoke, often things that bring a peaceful feeling, wreaking havoc – things have come undone. There’s a bit of shipwreck happening.. but the clouds and the light suggest a lighter feel to all the heaviness around – hope is looming. You can follow them and await the release here: www.myspace.com/housebeautifulband

Don’t forget band at the end there or be prepared to deal with some serious polka dot action.

Not Taking A Backseat Baby.

The boys of Journey To Aspen have been back in studio transforming more of their sound into digital magic to make widely available to the listening world. We had a great time working on their debut EP, Lemon! Lime! Party Time!, and merch for the tour as well as SCENE Festival.
