EF Educational Language Center has created a series of short films called "Live the Language" to promote studying abroad in different cities around the world. All of the films have beautiful lighting, camera angles, and an excellent and creative use of typography to showcase different experiences in each city. Different remixes of the same song are used, but the music shifts subtly to go along with each scene. Visit EducationFirstCampaign to see the rest of the videos. I loved the Paris one for its quirkiness and colors, but Los Angeles, Vancouver, and Bei Jing were my favorite. It was especially funny to see a white guy attempting Tai Ji Quen, a form of Chinese dancing meant to boost your health and steadiness. I will say though, that all the characters in the films are super attractive, and in a couple of them the girl just happens to meet a cute guy, whether she oh, 'just bumped into him' or 'just happened to ask him for directions.' He accompany her around the city and of course, romance blossoms. Hah puhleeze, so unrealistic. But nevertheless beautifully shot. Check 'em out.
