Travis Collier just finished up a commercial for MacNeil that he was working on with filmer Mike McKinlay. The theme was riding in the city at night and they got to work with Tyler Weiss from Goldtooth Creative on the audio. It’s pretty dope because Goldtooth is a studio that did a large chunk of CG work for the movie District 9. If you are interested, you can check out some info about the studio here.

The Photo of the Day spot in our sidebar has been through a few different phases as far as who has been in charge of updating it. It started with Rich Hirsch, then Chad Shack had it for a bit and over the past year or so, it’s been updated by everyone who blogs on Defgrip. We though it would be cool to open it back up to some other people and hit up our friend Nick Maggio from A Time To Get to see if he’d be into taking over the POD for a month. Nick is known for his amazing iPhone photos and we knew he’d be perfect for the job, so keep a look out for Nick’s photos in our sidebar (and on our Flickr page) for the next 30 days!

Roman and Willams is an amazing New York based interior designer firm that’s behind such projects like the Ace Hotel and Standard hotel in New York, among other things. Last night I spent an hour or so getting lost in their portfolio and for some reason when I woke up this morning all I wanted to do was tear my house apart, go thrift shopping and re-do the whole place…
