The success of ‘Adidas Star Wars Collection’ campaign’s theme of ‘let us reconcile Geeks with the streets’ is yet to be seen, but the advert series is impressive.

Video for unitxt u_08-1 by Carsten Nicolai‘s personal project Alva Noto; just the combination of japanese aesthetic and consumption machines (these mechacreatures deserve a separate blog entry) which I find no less uncanny than the japanese themselves was enough to make it remarkable.

The promotional video of UK fashion brand Fly53. It is the work of directors who did not shy away from using The Wade Brothers cliché but I discovered it while looking at DP Michael Stine‘s work. Shot with Red One, the cinematography and camera movements, the video’s key trick, are very successful.
Michael Haneke, şüphesiz sinema tarihinin en iyi yönetmenlerinden biri ve açıkcası ne yapsa büyük bir önyargı ile beğenmeye hazır oluyorum. Son filminin fragmanından çözebildiğim kadarıyla, bir ’superauteur’ olarak en iyi filmlerinden biri ile geliyor.
Hepsi gibi fakat güzel bir grup olan Soldout‘un pek beğendiğim çıkış videosu. Yönetmenler, Romain Chassaing ve Boris Coyere…
Nadide müzikçiler Broadcast ve The Focus Group’un ortak projesinden çıkan ilk ürün, 23 parçadan oluşan 50 dakikalık ‘Broadcast And The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults Of The Radio Age’ EP’si oldu. Dinlediğimden çıkan; Broadcast’in retro ’sound”una The Focus Group’un ustası olduğu prodüksiyon tekniği açısından leziz bir katılım olmuş – herşey yerli yerinde…
