Spirits In Transit is part two of the Tokyo timelapses by Friends We Love’s Mike Vargas: “While you were sleeping, your city was awakening. Night to day timelapse of the Toyko skyline set to a 4Hero track. Enjoy!”
Films We Love :: Tokyo Sky
Our very own Mike Vargas busted out this beautiful timelapse during a lost bout with insomnia upon his arrival in Tokyo. My favorite is seeing the clouds lit by the city lights below. Brilliant!
Videos We Love :: Will & Jada Pinkett Smith Thank You
Friends We Love’s Mike Vargas has been documenting the press tour for the Karate Kid 2, which just opened to the number one spot in the country this past weekend. The film, featuring Jaden Smith as the Karate Kid and Jackie Chan as his kung fu master, is gearing to be this summer’s blockbuster! As a token of their appreciation, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, the film’s producers and parents of the Karate Kid, sent a THANK YOU message to their Facebook fans which we filmed right before they left for the Tony Awards. Don’t they look SPECTACULAR? Watch the video here.
Press We Love :: FWL on Pharrell’s Kidult.com
Friends We Love is on the front page of Pharrell’s Kidult website! The article was written by Lee Hernandez and is featured in the “Cool Job” section. If you haven’t heard about Kidult, take some time to look around the site. It’s a good resource for not only young adults but also educators & parents.
Read the whole article here, but in the meantime, an excerpt: “Moni Pineda & Mike Vargas love their friends. In fact, they love them so much that they dedicated their careers to them. In mid-2008 they started a website called Friendswelove.com to showcase the talents of their artist friends in New York City. Two years later, the site—which features on camera interviews with a range of artists, including singers, actors and painters—is now popular all over the world. Moni and Mike spoke to Kidult about starting their site, plus they offered advice to young people who want to follow in their creative footsteps.”
