Wednesday Creative Shots, Episode 3

This week we’re taking a look at journeys through space, personal transformation, food, and agreeing that craft matters. While much was made about the time and effort that went into the spots created for the NFL’s big game, craftsmanship should always matter. True craftsmanship isn’t a part-time gig. Whether you’re creating high end audio speakers or a 30 second spot, striving for quality should always be the goal.

Craft Matters

Bang & Olufsen make audio and visual components. Scratch that, Bang & Olufsen craft exquisite masterpieces that happen to also be extremely technically functional. They are on the opposite of the race to the bottom path—bigger, faster, cheaper—that most technology companies are taking. From their website: “Since 1925, Bang & Olufsen has been synonymous with the art of acoustic perfection. To this day, our craftsmen still calibrate and tune every loudspeaker model by hand.”

This video series celebrates the craftsmanship involved in the processes required to achieve their end result.
