Objectified
Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It’s about the designers who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability.
Through vérité footage and in-depth conversations, the film documents the creative processes of some of the world’s most influential product designers, and looks at how the things they make impact our lives. What can we learn about who we are, and who we want to be, from the objects with which we surround ourselves?
Objectified is the second part of a three-film “design trilogy” by Gary Hustwit, details on the third film will be released soon. Objectified had its world premiere at the SxSW Film Festival in March 2009, and is currently screening at film festivals, cinemas, and special events worldwide. (Excerpt from objectifiedfilm.com)

Had a hard time with loading and watching this video. I found it very interesting. I have been wathcing the video’s all summer. The google vido player is the best. Everything else is very slow and not useable. YouKu is of no use unless the bandwidth is huge. This YouTube video on design continues to stop and they are slow loading as well. I download and then watch later at times and google is the only one that allows this to work seamlessly. All the documentaries should be based on the google player. I understand you don’t have control over that but just my suggestion.

That’s sad, ron. But there really isn’t any better player than Google YouTube’s. Maybe you should upgrade your bandwidth if it’s very low or soemething.
Thank you for adding this video, Vlatko, hopefully YouTube will leave it alone.

The YouTube service is by far the best on the net concerning the streaming issue. If you can’t watch the film than it is because you have low speed Internet provider, Ron.
The video above is very heavy (high quality) and if you have poor connection it will be hard for you to watch it without waiting to buffer significantly. But that’s not to bad I think. Press play, than pause, wait for 20 minutes or so and than watch it without any interruptions.
