17_Video&Article_DoWhatYouCantDo

Thanks to one of my favorite sites, No Film School, I found another inspiring video that just rings what I want the SLR to be: a place to try new things.

• First, just check out No Film School. This next post cycle I'm going to be sharing more of their stuff because it's just so rich for filmmakers and creatives alike.
• And I love this video because you probably have seen a video featured in it. It's a great reminder that executing on an idea can just create good content, even if it's brief and one simple idea.
  • Kinda like what I'm doing with this Fresh Produce section. =)

17_Video_DearEurope

Dear Europe is a collaborative video about the upcoming European elections and how lessons gleaned from Brexit and Trump, might relate. The piece was made by artists who call the US and the UK home. Turn on closed captions for French, Dutch and German and Italian! Our hope was to impress upon our friends in Europe that the future is written by those who vote. http://dearEU.com DIRECTOR Erica Gorochow ARTISTS (IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE) Alexandra Lund Allen Laseter Marie-Margaux Tsakiri-Scanatovits Pablo Lozano Johnny Kelly (Design) Terra Henderson Kyle Strope Ege Soyuer Nick Petley Joe Donaldson Jay Quercia Brian Gossett (Design) Louis Wesolowsky (Animation) Freddy Arenas Thea Glad Lana Simanenkova Yukai Du Miguel Jiron Bee Grandinetti Damien Correll (Design) Adam Grabowski (Animation) Robin Davey MUSIC + SOUND DESIGN Upright T-Rex Music SCRIPT Erica Gorochow ENGLISH VO KK Apple Jordan Craig GERMAN Saskia Keultjes (VO) DUTCH Wouter Boon (VO) Martin Pyper FRENCH Julie Saunders (VO) Adrien Joulie THANKS Liz Marks Lorenzo Fernandez Gustav Vella Jeroen Krielaars Bee Grandinetti Joe Donaldson Paul Murphy Ross Wariner Cody Uhler

• After my Supporting Women's Rights post last week I said that living in DC that "protesting has been unavoidable," and it's cool to see a calm and calculated observation about voting and the effects it's had on our society and what it can have on other European Countries. 
• The paper animation style not only feels like a leader, but shows that this message could be taken as a note. A message. A warning. 

17_February_Video_ContempGarden

We created a new and animated interpretation of 'The Garden Of Earthly Delights' by Hieronymus Bosch (it's this painting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Garden_of_Earthly_Delights#/media/File:El_jard%C3%ADn_de_las_Delicias,_de_El_Bosco.jpg). We were chosen to go crazy on the middle panel. So we did... in 4K! It is also an infinite loop in 4K. 4K 4K 4K!!! See our press release below for a short explanation. Unfortunately the exhibition at MOTI Museum has ended. Hope you got to see it. It was HUGE and AWESOME! But don't worry, it will pop up again somewhere. Until then, enjoy the online version. www.motimuseum.nl facebook: https://www.facebook.com/STUDIO-SMACK-287330375863 | twitter: https://twitter.com/STUDIOSMACK | website: http://www.studiosmack.nl ---- Official Press Release: PARADISE, a contemporary interpretation of The Garden of Earthly Delights Studio Smack, best known for their music video Witch Doctor by De Staat, have released a new animation: a contemporary interpretation of one of the most famous paintings by the Early Dutch master Hieronymus Bosch, The Garden of Earthly Delights. In their latest work, the group cleared the original landscape of the middle panel of Bosch’s painting and reconstructed it into a hallucinatory 4K animation. The creatures that populate this indoor playground embody the excesses and desires of 21st century Western civilization. Consumerism, selfishness, escapism, the lure of eroticism, vanity and decadence. All characters are metaphors for our society where loners swarm their digital dream world. They are symbolic reflections of egos and an imagination of people as they see themselves - unlike Bosch's version, where all individuals more or less look the same. From a horny Hello Kitty to a coke hunting penis snake. From an incarnate spybot to headless fried chickens. These characters, once precisely painted dream figures, are now digitally created 3D models. All of them have been given their own animation loop to wander through the landscape. By placing them altogether in this synthetic fresco, the picture is never the same. What the animation and Bosch’s triptych have in common is that you’ll hardly be able to take it all in, you can watch it for hours. ‘Paradise’ was commissioned by the MOTI Museum in The Netherlands for the exhibition New Delights, which is part of the Hieronymus Bosch 500-year anniversary. A gigantic video installation of this work is exhibited in the Museum until the 31st of December 2016.

The details and "looping picture" aspect of this video just make it pure spectacle in the best way possible.

Crazy how detailed these small pieces are, especially with those colors.
