A fantasy world from ad agency Heaven and director Vallée Duhamel

Ad agency Heaven and the directing duo Vallée Duhamel rolled out this quirky video set to electronic music for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 S-Pen. Titled "Creativity at Work," it makes a sort of kinetic collage out of all the arts and crafts materials the S-Pen can emulate.

The aesthetics on display here, especially the color palette, wouldn't have been out of place in an early MTV video, to the point where I might suggest muting the video and listening to Peter Gabriel's "Big Time" while you watch.

It's a joy to watch, if not exactly groundbreaking, and the reaching-into-the-desk part shows that they're willing to play with form a bit.

Check it out below, along with the making-of video.
