Their slogan is:
HI CLASS, LO FI, AND NO KIDDING
which I think is brilliant; it truly describes their work and is memorable and catchy.
That's what they do. According to this brand new (January 12, 2015) article by Emily Potts that I found on the Eyes on AIGA website about these emerging designers, Vallée and Duhamel "continually surprise and delight their clients (and their clients’ customers), by creating complex narratives that marry lo-fi, hand-rigged objects with high-end production techniques. The results are often mind-boggling and leave the viewer to wondering, “How’d they do that?” Their video and animation work for clients like Reebok, Hermès, MTV, Coca-Cola, and The New York Times Magazine, as well as a smattering of niche design publications and events, has garnered awards from Adweek, Communication Arts, and Applied Arts, among others. And Vallée, who’s also a Young Guns winner, has already had his monograph Rock, Paper, Scissors, the Work of Julien Vallée published by Gestalten."
I absolutely love this video, and I've checked out some of their work. It is truly brilliant! I'll probably be posting more of their work on this blog.
The video was an introduction of this partnership to the world several years ago, and while they actually have a great working relationship they thought it would be funny to do the unexpected and...well, watch the video. And, read the rest of the article and check out some of their other work. You'll be impressed and entertained! (To see the video, go to the article and scroll down a bit.)
