HARDCUORE - do bem juice commercials





In my previous post I mentioned that I would put up some work from these cool cats / graphic designers from Brazil - Hardcuore.

Hardcuore is the creative office of graphic artist Breno Pineschi, who has been working with art direction and graphic design since 2002. Breno and his team works in diverse fields, such as music, fashion, publishing, installations, motion graphics and visual identity among others. He has a major in graphic design and spent some time at New York’s School of Visual Arts. Hardcuore creates work that goes from underground graphic projects to installations for major companies, creating visuals for any possible media.

These two videos are by far my favourite animations they did for a commercial for "do bem" juice from Brazil.

Viral video developed in stop motion technique for the company do bem ™ juice.
With the launch of a 100% natural fruit juice, you no longer need to spend time cutting and squeezing oranges for the breakfast juice, now that time can be used to create music and something more fun.
In the script a tray of breakfast magically becomes an MPC (device used by brazillian funk djs) when the toasts are pressed, they create the sound of Rio de Janeiro's legitimate funk music. With many cheerful colors, fun and food items we translated the brand's attitude in video and music.
In the other commercial video you get the most well-known music of the Amazonia, the “Tic Tic Tac” song of the group Carrapicho, edited in a brand new version of the song mixed up with another Brazilian rhythm, the “Tecnobrega” music. Everything takes place on a very tropical and original environment.

To check out some more amazing work from Hradcuore go check out their website.

DIRTY MONEY TRAILER




Dirty Money is a documentary about the skateboarding scene in 1992 in Sao Paolo, Brazil from scratch to where it is now. Apart from the documentary itself the other side of this documentary that I personally liked a lot was the art direction, cool graphics and animations from brazilian designers Hardcuore. In my next post I will put out some dope stuff from them but for now lets stick with the Dirty Money documentary :).
The film is about a generation that revolutionized the street culture in Brazil through skateboarding. In the beginning of the 90s the skateboarding scene in Brazil was dead after a government economic plan that broke the industry. Drived by the love for skateboarding and a DIY attitude, a group of young skaters, teamed up and released a home made video that would change their lives forever. It was called Dirty Money. The video was an instant hit, and inspired thousands who shared the same dream, becoming the fundamental stone for the reconstruction of skateboarding as a sport and lifestyle in Brazil.

To actually watch this video you have a wonderful option of downloading it directly from their website. Enjoy!
