A short and sweet animation from Christian Borstlap and Paul Postma for a Dutch children’s charity called Kinderpostzegels. Thanks for the reminder!
Dpt4D: Intelligentsia Short Film Series
On a romantic reel of black and white The Department of the 4th Dimension (or, Dpt4D) unveils short films dedicated to exploring “the interaction between design and storytelling.” As you can tell from the stills, there’s no shortage of style in the project, the first series of which takes us inside the walls of Venice, California’s beautiful Intelligentsia coffeehouse. It’s impossible not to jones for a cuppa joe after viewing. Dare you.
Intelligentsia, born in Chicago, is easily one of my most favorite coffeehouses in Los Angeles. There are two; the original sits in Silver Lake’s rough-around-the-edges Sunset Junction, while the second is the aesthetically stunning Venice location Dpt4D chose to shoot their videos.
Below the fold, you’ll find videos 1 and 2 in the 3-part series. They roll out in delicious detail, covering the finer points of making a killer ESPRESSO or SYPHON brewed cup of coffee. The third, as yet unreleased, looks to honor the CAPPUCCINO. If I wasn’t having a love affair with coffee before, I certainly am now.
