The Best of Olivia Lazuardy
Channel: Olivia Lazuardy Creator: Olivia Lazuardy
Why I’m Inspired: Olivia’s graphics and typography are the quintessence of editorial-chic. Clean edits and transitions, cropped frames for multi-view, and crisp footage, all layered with an explanatory voice over and/or fun music.
Best of Eighty Ate. Series
Channel: 88 Rising Producer: 88rising

SOFT GRUNGE Winter Fashion Lookbook 2016
Channel: iamkareno Creator: Karen Yeung
Why I’m Inspired: I woke up to this piece giving me mad inspiration. Shot on the Panasonic GH4, in crisp slo motion, this piece captures the essence of winter. Karen’s voice over, a recitation of poetry by Robert Frost, falls easy on the ears and adds a magical feeling to her forrest walk. Beyond creative for a lookbook. She is nailing the artsy vibe.
Style Out There Series
Channel: Refinery29 Producer: Refinery29
Why I’m Inspired: Such a warm and open tone from host and interviewer Asha Leo. Narration perfectly scripted to create intrigue without being exploitive. More curious than authoritative. Lots of well-shot B-roll, expertly organized in conjunction with Leo’s narration. There is no shortage of good footage, no sloppy shots included. Such a great job is done capturing the beauty of each culture and it’s relationship to fashion and style. My favorite pieces in this series include the “couple culture” of South Korea, the Decora girls of Japan, and the Hasidic designers of Brooklyn.
We Couldn't Handle Yo'Hood, The Shanghai Streetwear Apocalypse - VFILES LOUD! Channel: VFILES Producer: VFILES
Why I’m Inspired: A bombtastic intro, as should be expected from VFILES. High energy levels throughout piece, sustained by two fun-loving, borderline-inappropriate hosts and perfectly timed double-speed montage breaks with an underlay of either high-powered dubstep or Chinese hip hop music. Hosts do not shy away from the camera, as it sometimes likes to step in close. The wide lens creates that all too familiar look of a 90s hip hop vid, possibly no coincidence considering the occasion. And classic-- that is all I have to say about the end of this piece. Classic.
Model Mother Tongue Series
Channel: i-D Producer: i-D Magazine
Why I’m Inspired: This series has a distinct rhythm of words and cuts in all the right places. Fluid, yet staccato. Bold, yet delicate. Words hit you with impact and some fall softly on the ears. Each language is handled respectfully within it’s cultural context, while the visuals and script somehow still play into stereotypes that may already influence viewers. Or should I say, the language is presented within a theme that may be stereotypical, however, it is also presented to be more complex than that theme suggests. But all that aside, I love that this series features vastly different languages, each begging a unique artistic direction, yet the series still somehow manages to run a common thread throughout each video. Truly fun.

🎈 FOLLOW ME AROUND JAPAN! 🇯🇵 Shop & Eat w/ Me! Channel: iamkareno Creator: Karen Yeung
