Kobo Lifestyle Videos
Back in the fall Wood & Wires produced a series of five lifestyle/commercial videos for Canadian tech giant Kobo. The series included one spot for each device, and one longer video featuring all of the devices and characters. The videos were shot and directed by Adrian Vieni, produced by Daniel Sedore, art directed by Tara Bartolini and Aimee Legault, and edited by Igor Vichikov. Take a look at the long video below and head to Kobo.com to see the rest.
Simon Walls

Local Natives
Local Natives took some time during their stop in Toronto, to record a session with Wood & Wires. They treated us to a stripped down rendition of ‘You & I’, from their new album ‘Hummingbird’, inside the parlour at The Phoenix Concert Theatre. We had Julian Peter shooting b-cam on this on, and the amazingly talented Shawn Jurek recording the audio as well as mixing/mastering it. Enjoy!

*Update: Here’s a second song from this session, featuring Ben performing his single ‘Pictures’, in the front of the shop.
