Secret Mommy - Kool Aid River

The visual art of Mr. Andy Dixon reminds me a lot of Neasden Control Centre. But then again. Maybe not.

Walking with Mr. Fulton.


Hamish Fulton describes himself as a "walking artist". For more than thirty years he has undertaken demanding walks in many parts of the world, and drawn on his experiences to create distinctive artworks using text, graphics and photographs. He aims to "leave no trace" in the landscape, and he acknowledges that his art cannot represent the experience of a walk. "What I'm interested in," he explains, "is presenting a sort of skeleton of something, and then the viewer fills in what's missing, maybe from your own experience.

Why do I like this short from Mr. Greig Fraser that much? Probably the composition of the shots, the static style and the lighting.

The trailer for Benicio Del Toro's latest film has a twist: there is no film. Danny Leigh on how Mercedes pulled the wool over our eyes

Tuesday July 9, 2002
The Guardian

For fans of Benicio Del Toro or of director Michael Mann, a visit to the cinema this weekend will have proved a tantalising experience. There, among the trailers, they might have found a sneak preview of Lucky Star, a peppy-looking thriller made with the same stylised flourish Mann brought to Heat, The Insider and Ali, starring the professionally addled Del Toro as a master gambler cleaning up at both casino and stock market. His judgment, we learn, is faultless, his wagers blessed with luck remarkable enough to attract the suspicions of various murky government agents, who duly hound him into leaving town in a gleaming silver convertible. But where is he going? What destiny awaits him? Fade to black. Coming Soon.

3 times Playing With Light.

3 projects I directed with all visual effects done inn camera.
Meaning; moving light projections on concrete and no post production effects done afterwards. (almost none:-)
This is what happens if you have no money, still wants to be creative, and have to shoot in the parking lot downstairs.
And finally, what I find really strange; the more the budget went up in this series, the less satisfied I was. In my opinion; The first one stayed the best one. What do you think?

What they did : What I did. Blue tit syndrome revisited.

BBDO/Atlanta approached Impactist to create a PSA for the Peace Corps campaign "Life Is Calling. How Far Will You Go?"
Impactist shot the PSAs entirely with a hand held digital still camera to achieve a smooth, post-created motion that allowed
for time manipulation. The HD completed spots feature people in the midst of their everyday lives as they hear the calling to
become Peace Corps volunteers, highlighting the moment when the potential volunteers realize the difference they could make
in the world.

In total Impactist shot 14,425 stills for this shoot, which took place in eight locations over two days in some of New York City's
greatest landmarks and locations.

Similo

Similo has been directed by Bruno Zacharias (also author and co-producer) and MacGregor (also editor and director of photography) and produced at Blackmilk Films.

Filmed in Lanzarote and Madrir, the movie shares some similarities with Solaris (not Stanislaw Lem's novel, not Andrei Tarkovsky's Solyaris, but Soderbergh's one)

Field trips by Impactist.

Field trips need not always be an excursion to a far off destination. Sometimes, a short trip into the city to observe the variety of trees change into their autumnal colors was orchestrated. Children would be led in groups to where branches offered their previously out of reach color to small hands. All the while, the events would be captured on film and early video to be later sealed in the school's time capsule which would be buried beneath the school courtyard's own twin oak trees.

The Memory; a short movie by Mr. Grzegorz Korczak

a very warm cinema photography,
a seducing soundtrack,
a non classical storytelling,
a no nonsense cutting style
a beautiful and relaxing mood,
...
and then,
- unexpected -
a chilling ending
with the same thought that is haunting me.

You're Going to Die

Strange coincidences happened today.
I was thinking about death,
I had a proposition to do something with the idents of the hollywood majors,
I had some writing block problems,
I was thinking that everything already had been done,
and then I came home and found this little beauty on the net.
Don't be alarmed.
I truly love live,
... and this little movie is one of the reasons why.
