Buamai Select, now designed exclusively for Apple’s iPad.

Your deadline is 24 hours away, and you’re staring at a blank document as the S.S. Inspiration shoals out on a sand bar and the cursor flashes on through the night like an SOS to nobody. Well, fear not, design sailor, because the good ship Buamai is here to throw you a life preserver.

Chosen as an iTunes staff favorite in May, 2009, Buamai was created to grab images from our server in order to cure your creative boredom and bring design inspiration directly to your iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. Images are posted by a closed collective of artists, graphic designers, programmers, architects and fashion designers based in various cities around the world. Images loaded by Buamai are mainly inspired by graphic design, art, and architecture, but some random strange images are thrown in for variety.

March in Thonburi is an experimental short, created over two years by Michael Paul Young. After relocating from Baltimore to Bangkok, Thailand, in 2007, Young sought to expose how the many sensory influences of his adopted country have affected him. The result, March in Thonburi, embodies a rich sensory journey through an urban cultural atmosphere from the perspective of a stranger in a strange land.

The visual genesis was a series of still images posted by Young throughout the early part of 2008 on Flickr and his own websites. During the ensuing two years, as various 3D renders were created, and video and audio recordings were captured, March in Thonburi evolved into motion. As Young continually expanded the piece throughout 2008 and 2009, each clip branched out from the next, as he immersed himself in the sights, sounds and smells of Thonburi-the Bangkok neighborhood that housed his studio. The final edit was shaped during the last three months of 2009, within the chaos surrounding Young as he became the sole owner/officer of his company YouWorkForThem, while preparing to move their studio to more rural environs.

With the visual edit complete in January of 2010, Young sent the then-silent piece to long time collaborator Michael Madill of Madsound. Utilizing the raw audio elements that Young and his associates had recorded on the streets of Thonburi, Madsound evolved these field recordings into a narrative under Young’s direction, pushing and shoving the viewer through the confusing, intriguing, sometimes frightening sensory environment of March in Thonburi.

In September of 2009 the indie rock band Moderndog contacted us to design the motion visuals for their upcoming 15th anniversary concert in Bangkok. The show had a set of 26 songs, in which we designed video content for 14 songs. We approached each song with around 10 video options for the main projection screen, along with numerous designs for the LEDS built into the stage design.
