Here are the original storyboards for our Radiohead video entry in Aniboom -Nude- and some goofy initial tests for the video.

From the beginning, we had a pretty clear idea of the look, mood and speed the video should have.
The video is meant to be a play between the beautiful and the grotesque, by taking an all to familiar yet bizarre part of the body as the mouth and pushing its ‘normality’ a bit the idea was to displace that sense of familiarity.
The ‘narrative’ is pretty independent from the lyrics but they connec in very specific points: you’ll find something missing / you’ll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking.
This was a pretty fun charrette project to work on and we’re definitely super happy with the (semi) final result.

The show at The Brooklyn Museum is absolutely amazing. The exhibit, which is separated in two floors, is very extensive and the quality of the paintings/sculptures/videos etc is just incredible.
As usual, I’ll rant about the museum’s ‘tight-assness’ about taking pictures inside -does Murukami care?…- these guys were truly gestapo style, yelling and running towards people with cameras to get them to stop. That’s what they’re being paid for I guess, but it’s an idiotic policy nonetheless. Makes me wonder if Gagosian has anything to do with it.
Don’t miss the transformer girl in the first level (hard to miss, it takes the main central space) , the short clips in the lower level (anyone knows the name of the little fella?) and the large canvas-tiny DOB blue painting.

Also, don’t miss this circus video of the opening from the NYT…

Here is the storyboard for our entry for the Radiohead video. The song is Nude. The animatic will follow up in a few.
I’ll post the link so you can go and vote 5 BOMBS for our video in aniBoom.

Gabe and I have been working on an animatic to enter the contest being held by Radiohead, for user created videos for one of their songs.
We’ll be posting the clip into the site for people to go check it out and vote. Here is one of the stills.

Remake of the Lightcycle scene from TRON (soundtrack taken from the film by Steven Lisberger)
Not exactly Joseph Kosinki’s future remake of Tron but it gets pretty darn close. Outstanding.

Last Friday was the opening of United Bottle, a project by INSTANT ARCHITECTS, Dirk Hebel & Jörg Stollmann with Tobias Klauser at the Van Alen Institute. A very smart and interesting solution to the issue of waste.
Read about the project at the Van Alen’s site here.

SOFTlab’s Mike Szivos has been leading an independent study group at Pratt’s GAUD. The group ( Jason Mcgee, Troy Zezula, Robert Beach, Sean Duggan, Andrew Seskunas + Mike Szivos) are curating this semester’s show of work produced at the school. They’ve been working on a parametric system for the manufacturing of the system of podiums which will hold the models. There is a perspectival organizational logic to the grouping of the models. The boards have their own organizational principle based on 3 different parameters too.
The show opens on Thursday at Pratt.
Visit the independent study’s blog at Gaud++, where they’ve documented the entire process very methodically. Pretty fantastic, and quite an amount of work.
Congrats guys.
