1st Ave Machine is a CG VFX/Animation Studio/Production house located in NYC. They work in advertising, music video, and with feature as well as short films. There is the director Arvind Palep and producer Serge Patzak (credited as associate visual effects producer for the film “Frida”), who are the founders of 1st Ave Machine as well as Jessica Levin who co-produces and is active in developing feature projects.
The work that they are doing is producing some very unique projects mixing somewhat 3d and real world footage that defies the eye when it comes to knowing what is real and what is not, but may still be possible. Manipulated botany, creatively designed wormlike creatures, robotics, all these are put together with real life camera movements that once again blur the line between what is real and what could be. 
They are very inspiring pieces of work to watch especially for those, like myself, who are interested in doing short films and advertising. It takes a minute to download and you will need Quicktime to watch. I have put two of their works on the post, just click on the pictures. But if you click on there name above I have linked their homepage so you can see more. So be patient and have fun watching.
