I did a stop-motion animation back in the day that took me way too long and lasted for all of maybe 4 seconds. Major hats off to these guys.
The Joy of Books
Many sleepless nights were spent moving, stacking, and animating books at Type bookstore in Toronto to create this video.

Salad Tongs
Every day, millions of Americans are plagued by an epidemic that is sweeping the nation. Oftentimes, this affliction affects people on a day-to-day basis, making it extremely difficult for them to function normally. Too often do we simply ignore this crisis, turning our backs to those in need.
But not anymore.
No longer will we dismiss this ever looming problem of Poor Salad Handling.
Today, we take a stand against PSH with a pair of utensils every kitchen should be equipped with, to tackle the worst of PSH conditions. With a smooth polished finish, their ergonomically shaped handles allow for comfort and ease of use for those long salad-serving marathons. The unique heads of the tongs promote an ideal tossing and scooping experience, even featuring a distinctive scraping capability for that especially pesky tomato.
We believe that those with Poor Salad Handling should not have to live in shame and discomfort, but be given the pair of salad tongs they really need.

SEVEN
Ever wanted to venture around the world collecting various artifacts from the Seven Wonders of the World and then sell them on the Black Market for the highest price possible all while sabotaging and deflecting your other fellow bandits?
Well you probably still shouldn’t really do that in real life, but now you can get pretty darn close board-game style with SEVEN!
Travel to the far corners of the world and race against other players to fetch the highest prices and become the richest thief in the world!

“R” Pop-up Page
Are your letters too bland? Do you often wish you could interact with them more? Ever wonder what your alphabet’s personality is really like?
Well wonder no more! (At least about the letter “R”…)
Now introducing the “R” pop-up page! Upon the initial peek at the page, “R” is only a shadow of negative space but open it up and watch it slide into its full-fledged glory!

Meet Tommy.
Tommy is not your typical adolescent Adelie penguin. And although he’s not the smartest, the fittest, or the best tobogganer, Tommy’s got big dreams. In fact, Tommy wants to be a star. He often has his head in the clouds, dreaming of what it’d be like to be famous, much to the disapproval of his hard working mother and father. His parents expect much more from the son they assume will take over the family business of selling Antarctic Silverfish on kaiser rolls on a cart outside the local YMCA. They regularly wish he had the motivation and focus of his older brother, Gerald, who became a highly successful defense attorney. Tommy, however, has bigger dreams in mind. He likes to sing and dance while his parents are busy with his younger siblings, practicing everyday in hopes of making it big. He has even tried dying his feathers once to be more like his idol, triple-threat sensation Justin Timberlake, which still retain a brownish tint. Tommy loves dressing up in classy suits and bow ties, pretending to wave to his adoring fans. One day, Tommy hopes to be able to see his name in lights and finally leave behind this ice chunk and the taste of Antarctic Silverfish.
