10 Bullets by Tom Sachs is an insanely well made instructional video about the rules of his shop made for new employees. It goes to prove that even internal videos can be fun, creative assignments.

Sit back, put your feet up, and enjoy this Friday's Video Round-Up:
This week we feature a new video from Passion Pit featuring a sultry 1920's house party (or maybe just a hipster-inspired house party).
Japanese noise-group MONO score this video through Iceland's landscapes, which never seem to get old (despite how many music videos use it.)
And of course, we can't forget the latest from Ricky Rozay, "911." Lots of Cali ballin', but wait, why is Rick Ross posted up outside a sold out Fiona Apple show? Hmph indeed.
If you've been watching the Olympics, and judging by the ratings you have been (10% up over Beijing, 23% over Athens), then you've likely seen the AT&T commercials that integrate Olympic footage and results from THIS year. The process, created and managed by BBDO, can turn around the spots in 24 hours from the win. And with the US tape delay, it feels even more immediate.
Ultimately, they pull the winning footage and their post-house is on hand to place in the footage. That is all tagged with pre-canned footage of the hero writing down the winning times by the athlete. Which makes us wonder, how many 1/100ths of a second takes did they get to make sure they had all possible options?
AT&T also follows their commercials up with a branded YouTube channel that shares stories about their athletes (integrating their mobile use with apps, music and social channels of couse).
This Is Now is a completely mesmerizing look at the Instagram feeds of several cities. Wish our city was included. Currently you can enjoy the voyeurism in New York, Tokyo, Sao Paulo, London and Sydney.
