Woodkid Iron Video

noreply@blogger.com (Carlos Pacheco) — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 17:56:00 +0000

Video director and photographer Yoann Lemoine introduces us to his musical alter ego Woodkid with the release of his first single called Iron off his EP (iTunes) of the same name. With credits that include a commercial for Lipton, a short film for Vogue Italia and music videos for Yelle, Moby, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry for "Teenage Dream", it's no surprise that his personal project is something to pay attention to.

Woodkid's sound is unique, I really like his voice which for some reason reminds me of Antony Hegart. The video is filled with beautiful dynamic imagery and slow-motion shots - a visual accomplishment that is mesmerizing to watch. I'm on my 10th viewing and I'm not even close to getting tired of it yet! Looking forward to hearing more of his music when his debut album is released later this year.

Les Chernokids

noreply@blogger.com (Carlos Pacheco) — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 20:29:00 +0000

If there's one thing that freaks me out its mutant kids, they just gives me the creeps! However, I'm fascinated by stories about and around the history of the Chernobyl disaster, be it fictional or documentary or even travel oriented.

Les Chernokids is a 7 minute short gives us a glimpse into the lives of 4 mutant children with vivid imaginations who live under the shadow of the Chernobyl reactor. Starting off almost like a documentary interview with one of the children talking about his "mother" who we later find out to be literally one of the reactors. Some of the way the kids are shown can be deemed borderline disturbing so if you have issues watching images of the sort I would keep away.

The short film has been getting some creds winning "best of" at the E-Magiciens festival in Paris among a few others. The short CG film was directed by Matthieu Bernada, Nils Boussuge, Florence Ciuccoli, Clement Deltour and Marion Potegnief from the Supinfocom animation school.

Super Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Carlos Pacheco) — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 19:48:00 +0000

First off, we have to admit our unhealthy obsession with anything that involves Ellen Page. Second, after watching the trailer half a dozen times we think its sure to become a classic just because Rainn Wilson's great lines like "Don't deal drugs!" & "Don't molest kids" while he's kicking the crap out of criminals.
Written and directed by James Gunn. Starring Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon. Basic story: When sad-sack loser Frank loses his wife to a seductive drug dealer, he finds himself bereft and wholly unable to cope. But soon he decides to fight back under the guise of a DIY superhero called Crimson Bolt. With a hand-made suit, a wrench, and a crazed sidekick named Boltie, the Crimson Bolt beats his way through the mean streets of crime in hopes of saving his wife.
