This film is about the way you see more when you walk - in this case, the way you look at road signs. I didn't drive anywhere to shoot any of these road signs. Most of them I walked to and one of them was in Norway and turned out to be quite a long walk especially carrying a camera. I didn't do it all, the music is by Marc Folan and the voiceover is Paul Berczeller. If you like the video then why don't you take some shots of some road signs, make your own one and upload it. www.dothegreenthing.com
Itâs like the emperorâs new clothes. Mineral water does untold environmental damage, tastes exactly like tap water and costs 1000 times as much. And yet sad gullible people across the world fall for the mineral water myth and think theyâre buying something crucial to their health or self-esteem when theyâre not. Someoneâs gotta tell âem the emperorâs got nothing on â and that someone is Barney Howells from Partizan London who made this very funny and slightly cruel video for Green Thing. Enjoy.
