Paul Willoughby is the creative director of Little White Lies and here is some of his personal and commercial work. The process shots of the Lawless wood cut above for Little White Lies can be seen here.
Filip Sterckx / Willow – Sweater Music Video
I saw this over on Booooooom yesterday. It’s a deadly music video for the Belgian band Willow directed by Filip Sterckx and made using 3 beamers projecting on a floor and two walls and a little threadmill. The making of video is pretty funny to see how difficult it was to line up the singers movements with the projected films.

Chez Eddy – Dripped
A visual feast from French animation studio Chez Eddy. Really great animation with so many beautifully rendered scenes. This tribute film tells the story of an Art thief who get his kicks from absorbing the masters he pilfers ending in a surreal twist of sorts.
