Bam!




Cut to the third man!
A great find on and description on Observations on Film Art



Geoffrey Farmer

Leaves of Grass (2012)

Images cutout from 50 years of Life Magazines (1935-1985).
The history of America in images. Not necessarily arranged in a progressively linear fashion, but the organization of images, mixing time and subject create whole new relationships between different points in history.

Notice the shift, of the accuracy of memory. One drawn from a photograph, one drawn from memory.

The Light Surgeons


Most of their work I don't care for because they're too on the nose with image/sound relationships. But this particular piece I found to be very poetic because it more ambiguous with their images.

Madeline Stillwell

Strange and fascinating. A body escaping from/merging with its surroundings, there is both struggle and acceptance with the situation. It's difficult to tell which is happening.

Telling a Story in Color


Tokyo Drifter (1966)

As visually chaotic as Tokyo Drifter appears to be, on a purely abstract level, the color design in this film can operate entirely as its own (separate from the scripted narrative) and tell the same story without effort. What is unsaid or uncertain by scripted means is made clear and reinforced through the use of color.

Ruppert et Mulot

Amazing work by the french duo Florent Ruppert and Jérôme Mulot. Their comics emphasize sequential movements between panels which lends itself nicely when transitioning into animation. Reminds me a little of Winsor McCay.
