Enjoy this lovely look back through Stanley Kubrick’s filmography, created from animated posters designed by Martin Woutisseth and set to a lilting score composed by Romain Trouillet. Do you have a favorite? I liked the way HAL’s red eye ominously comes into the picture in the design for 2001: A Space Odyssey.
From The Creator’s Project, here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Polish Girl video for Neon Indian. Directed by Tim Nackashi, the concept is described as a humanoid’s ‘endless digital daydream,’ and includes 3D renderings and what Nackashi calls ‘light-painting.’ Very interesting stuff!
The Girl Walk project was still in Kickstarter funding mode when we posted about it in February, but it’s now come to fruition and Gothamist has the premiere chapter of this 75-minute long film set to the entire Girl Talk album All Day. Wild Combination wisely decided to split up the release of this film into manageable segments, so look for a new installment each Tuesday and Friday until January.
It’s getting harder to ignore the voices of Occupy Wall Street as their numbers grow, but it can be too easy to get caught in the growing number of complex issues and lose focus of what it’s all about, too. This video, spotted on The Fox Is Black, which screened as part of the Zero Film Festival boils the movement down to its essence by presenting it as a game of Pong. Reductive, sure, but it’s an effective way to remind us that many small voices with little power do still stand a chance against the major financial powers running our world.
Seeing our new Pocket Piano — we’re one of the few stores in the world carrying it, come in and check it out — I was reminded of the 2008 gem from the talented DJ Mehdi who was untimely ripped from this life in September. His memory lives on in song, especially one as grand, soaring and heart-stirring as this one.
In this very funny short clip showcasing the Steven Alan Spring 2012 line, Max Minghella (he of The Social Network) tangles with a very feisty piece of fabric, getting in scrapes all over town. The French New Wave references are appropriately tongue-in-cheek, including a direct nod to its most obvious influence, The Red Balloon, and the whole thing plays so fast and loose it’s hard not to smile. Great music, too!
I’ve mentioned this great Real Estate track before, and now it has its own video produced by Weird Days and featuring some very friendly looking canines. It doesn’t have the wild exuberance of previous Weird Days productions like Das Racist’s ‘Michael Jackson,’ but does take a trippy, mid-song left turn before reverting back to the kind of cuddly, feel-good vibe you can only get from watching a band perform for an audience of dogs in green bowties.
