Seattle’s own Hilliard’s Beer is a relatively new startup with some nice branding underway that is being produced by Mint Design. From the beginning they have been detailing the process of creating this beer and evolving the brand over at their site. Their approach with allowing the public to see the behind the scenes work as this startup is brought to life is intriguing and helps instill a deeper personality within their brand.

This video is simply mesmerizing. It was shot on August 27th, 2011 by cinematographer Chris Bryan at Teahupo’o, a small village off the coast of Tahiti. The French Navy had declared the day a double code red, prohibiting and threatening to arrest anyone entering the water. You’ll quickly see why. With “Lower Your Eyelids to Die with the Sun” by M83 further enhancing the experience, I could watch this all day if it lasted that long.
