SPACE ODDITY
Commander Chirs Hadfield performing David Bowie’s Space Oddity at the ISS. David Bowie has nothing on Chris. At least not when it comes to the video.

Category Overview
Red Bull Studios
My friends at Momkai just launched the new visual identity and global website for Red Bull Studios, the network of international state-of-the-art recording facilities. They developed the new website with interactive 360-degree photos and a style guide for print and video elements – as well as for the decor of the studios. Great stuff!
Yo Mama’s Night
On the 11th of May Yo Mama throws the fifth and last edition of Je Moedernacht. The party is at Noorderlicht in Amsterdam on the night before Mother’s day. Because it’s the last thing Je Moeder will do, tickets are just five euro. Hopefully see you there!
Buienradar ‘hack’
The Netherland’s most used weather app Buienradar was ‘hacked’ the evening before and during Queensday. Visitors saw truly severe weather conditions approach their country and all the festivities in it. It was a stunt by insurance company Centraal Beheer, done by Tribal & DDB Amsterdam.
THE BUILD
The Build is an interactive film exploring the world of independent custom bike builders in Portland, Oregon.
Thor Drake, James Crowe and Casey Him tell their story in an honest, very authentic way. Nice work by INSTRUMENT productions.
Craften Amsterdam
This week Craften Amsterdam takes place, on the craft skills in advertising. A two day conference on ‘the most well crafted campaigns of the year’ within Europe – presented by the agencies and production companies behind them. Impressive line-up, great initiative.
THE BEER SCOOTER
This shortfilm made by Nathan James Cooper is ‘a perilous journey across the gulf of booze-induced amnesia’. Besides well written, this film is a none to subtle warning to the dangers of heavy drinking.
Nice one.
THANK YOU ALL
for the great party last week. We hope you liked it as much as we did. Check out the photo’s made by our beloved Curly & Straight. And don’t forget our sponsors: Heineken, Bacardi, Red Urban, Achtung!, Media Monks, Fonk, Code d’Azur, Stijlbende, 22 tracks, Toko MC and Westergasfabriek. They were the ones who provided us all the pleasure. Also big thumbs up for Get Shorty, our does-it-all producer.
Stagefright
A lot of men have issues in the men’s room when somebody is watching them. To test just how lifelike the new IPS 21:9 UltraWide monitor is, LG and SuperHeroes did a special psycho-physical test in the men’s room. Can you fight stagefright?
a gift to a band
Dutch director (and former New Worker) Johan Kramer decided to make his own video of the song Radio by Mansions on the Moon. ‘Simply because I like them and love this song.’ The funny thing is that the band doesn’t know this, so it’s basicly a gift.
