A little over a year ago we started branding our good friend Konrad as the newly minted FreshSox. One of the final elements of his brand to get produced was his business card. During the design process, we knew we wanted to go the letterpress route. The tactile quality, vibrant colours and overall aesthetic has always appealed to us. We recently met Nicholas Kennedy at Trip Print Press (tripprintpress.ca)here in Toronto. We were so wowed with his work and amazing shop from day one, we found each subsequent visit was getting longer and longer. It's the kind of place you don't want to leave. It was a perfect storm of opportunity to record both the process of this new brand coming to life and the inner workings of a truly amazing letterpress shop.

This is Trip Print Press...

    Thanks AFS :) We spent only 6 hours in the shop to achieve this short, we had it all planned out on storyboards and shotlists. It was pretty cool shooting on the 5D for the first time and being behind the camera.

    You couldn't tell. The storyboard snippet on your blog looked just like the final shots. Everything fits very well together - I've seen this now shared on so many blogs (even agency blogs). How are you liking the 5D?

    Love the 5D - It's so user friendly.

    What a great coincidence! I loved this video yesterday when I first saw it, and loved it again today when you guys showed it in class :) Thanks for the great presentation, you gave us some great advice on grad-show and getting stuff done in general. All of your work is stunning, looking forward to more in the future!

    Thanks for posting the film Julien! It really is an art form and we're hoping through this small vignette people will see why letterpress should be kept alive and why it's worth the cost!
