Run, Prelude from Alvaro Posadas on Vimeo.
while the visuals are pretty nice in context, the combination of the music and visuals together here just sends me to another place entirely. really great mood this sets. like a lazy sunder afternoon floating on the some other planets aurora borealis.
would have been wonderful to see the result of what would have been if Mr. Kubrick had taken this left turn in 2001.
I've admired Ken Adams' work since I was a wee lad watching Bond films, which of course meant I also got to stay up past 11:00 pm ! A volcano... with a secret lair underneath that facade. I never looked at the landscape the same, and often from that point on wondered what lurked beneath the surface of everything (and still do). Everywhere I go I see these places and doors and wonder what mastermind is hidden behind them, what grand casino is just under the floor at what restaurant, thanks to Mr. Adams.
Of course I had no idea who designed these crazy sets or even what a Production Designer was at that point, but at that age his sets were definitely the gold standard in my book.
i might be the last one on the internet posting this, and while i am an avid fan of the site, i somehow missed this everywhere. i'm posting here just to remember, as it's a great and somewhat inspirational video.
been watchin' a foot of snow fall outside the studio window tonight while listening to Bill Evans, and remembered this clip. I know I've posted it before, but wow, quite an amazing team they were.
Watch this trailer for Paul Vlachos and Meredith Finkelstein's documentary "Lumia" (2006), a film that traces VJ culture to its roots in live visual performance, documenting the innovation of Thomas Wilfred and his Lumia machine to create the eighth major fine art, the art of light.
"too shiny" ...brilliant. i think the same exact thing every time i peel back the case off my old iPhone (which i put on in the first place, to hide that shiny lunacy).
I've seen many interviews with Herr Rams lately, and as much as i love chaos/accidents, i can't believe how much i wish the world, even whilst bathing chaotic, would damn well treat every aspect of the creation process with equal status and design with some sort of modesty, whether making cars, food, websites, teapots or whatever.
this store if so damn massive, it's quite incredible. but for some reason it does remind me a bit of a Mr. Brainwash exhibit, kind of all over the place. i do like the jump cuts of harajuku though.
