A wide range of work graces SHOOT's quarterly Top Ten Tracks Chart, with a University of Phoenix spot featuring a score from Beacon Street Studios–and an inventive use of an existing song–taking the number one slot.
Also in the mix are a moving short piece which shows the value of bicycling for those with ADHD, a post NBA-championship look at critics of Golden State Warrior superstar and Nike athlete Kevin Durant, and director John Singleton's spot for AECOM which puts us on the L.A. Metro transit system.
So have a look and explore the best music and sound fare the past few months have to offer.
