Brian Thompson directs new promo spot for STUDY FOOTWEAR. STUDY, the new brand launched by Stampd’LA designer Chris Stamp is a California-cool unisex sneaker line designed to reach a larger demographic and fit even a student’s budget. But, its more than just a new sneaker line, a big part of STUDY is the “Study for Shoes” program which launched this year and gives back to schools in need by donating Study branded stationary, pencils, and other school and art supplies to students, thus arming them with tools to inspire creativity. The concept behind the new spot directed by Thompson builds upon the theme of inspiring creativity and illustrates how ideas turn into product. The spot creatively reveals a day in the life of the designers at STUDY. Check out the new spot here.

Brian Thompsons Music Video For As I Lay Dying “The Sound Of Truth” Wins Hollywood Film Festival

admin — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:38:20 +0000

The 13th Annual Hollywood Film Festival’s “Hollywood Awards” ceremony was held last night before a standing-room-only audience of over 1,100 Hollywood Film Festival attendees at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

The winners of the festival’s film competition were announced Sunday night at the “Hollywood Discovery Awards Presentation Ceremony at ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood. This year’s winners are: “Crossing” by Kim Tae-kyun – Best Feature Film; “Garbage Dreams” by Mai Iskander – Best Documentary; “Scenesters” by Todd Berger – Best Comedy; “Stories From The Perch” by Andrew Zimbelman –Best Animation, “Lambs” by Stephen Huff – Best Short Subject, “As I Lay Dying – The Sound Of Truth” by Brian Thompson – Best Music Video.

As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis comments on the win “The Sound of Truth video could not have been made without an entire team of amazing people. It was a combination of two individually complex forms of art that came together seamlessly to create one great video I’m very proud of. The basic concept is related to the music and lyrics that we wrote, but Brian Thompson and his whole crew took that beyond what we could have imagined.”

Directed by Brian Thompson, who helmed their futuristic clip for “Nothing Left,” the video for “The Sound of Truth” was made at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, CA and is a continuation of the story the first video initiated. Like its predecessor, the story for this video was conceived by the band, fine-tuned by director Brian Thompson, and displays the irony and hypocrisy that takes place in a decaying futuristic society.
