Norway, Mogwai and a bike...

30 Century Man from Antony Crook on Vimeo.

Norway is on my 'to do' list, I keep meeting people and reading articles on how breathtaking the place is...I hope I make it there someday soon.  This film in particular has poked my little flame and is making my trip even more inevitable.
Here is James Bowthorpe, round-the-world cyclist, in the middle of the 'white' night in Norway with director Antony Crook and stylist Glenn Kitson for Crooks film '30 Century Man'. Mogwai lend the soundtrack with "How to be a Werewolf" which fits perfectly with the beautiful norwegian landscape backdrop.

Cosmos

After a stint away in the tear drop of India I have come home to some rather lovely treats... namely this one,   take off into the cosmos courtesy of El Guincho.

Tasty visuals...

Love fast food and fancy a bit of wedded bliss.....well last week we found out that for £250 you can get chicken nuggets and get hitched at the same time at McDonalds in Hong Kong! The lucky happy meal couple gets to share their day with all their normal customers to and meet the original hamburgerler himself, old Ronald.

I'd rather have a tasty visual....

Somewhere

The amazing Sophia Coppola has released a new movie  'Somewhere', the soundtrack looks pretty good too, looking forward to seeing it very much.

Spike Jonze's Twizzler for Lakai

As if being the co-owner of Girl Skateboards wasn't good enough it seems the world (and ourselves) cannot seem to get enough of the legend that is Spike Jonze. He had us 'ooooing' and 'arrring' in 2007 with the fully flared Lakai intro, now take a look at his new commercial for Lakai footwear featuring iconic skaters Rick Howard and Mike Carroll.

Its hard not to watch that head smack just once...

I'm Here ...Spike Jonze

Spike Jonze’s new half-hour short film titled I’m Here premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival in January...even though now its March, its still worth a mention! (Its a rainy day too)

Funded by Absolut Vodka, I’m Here is a robot love story celebrating a life enriched by creativity. The movie is set in contemporary L.A., where life moves at a seemingly regular pace with the exception of a certain amount of robot residents who love among the population. A male robot librarian lives a solitary and methodical life — devoid of creativity, joy and passion - until he meets an adventurous and free spirited female robot.

I've only watched a small part so far..the film on the official website takes ages to load on my prehistoric internet connection! But I will persist...who wouldn't for Spike Jonze.

Apricot

I got lost in a labyrinth of niceities on the world wide web the other night, as per usual I got carried away and forgot what the time was.  On my journey I found a few things that inspired me... Apricot was one of them.  It is a mini film about a man with memory loss asking a stranger about her first love.  Rather skeptical at first, she soon vividly remembers, something which director Ben Briant captures beautifully.

Wonderful Wonderland

You must go and see Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland, it is truly magical - especially in 3D!

It seems that its even influencing the fashion world...

Match Made in Heaven

The historic and creative brand Pringle of Scotland have taken the bold move forward to present the Spring Summer collection in the form of a film, created by art photographer Ryan McGinley and starring the Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton.

The short film explores iconic elements of the Scottish terrain whilst delivering beautiful images of the clothes themselves on the captivating and bewitching actress.

Swinton is Pringle’s current muse, an avocation that suits the slender, improbably gorgeous actor very well—she manages to be utterly feminine while at the same time exuding more than a hint of androgyny, and of course she is renowned for her own uncategorizable chic. As a result, perhaps for the first time in a clothing house’s history, a single model is the muse, and star of the ad campaign (which McGinley also shot), for both the men’s and the women’s lines.

Cassette Playa AW1011 - Augmented Reality

I was fortunate enough to get up to London Fashion Week this year and was really keen to check out the Cassette Playa show over at Somerset House.

For the presentation of Carri Munden’s N E U R O M A N C E collection, she employs augmented reality to further accentuate her futuristic themes. Each model entered the world of augmented reality which allowed them to interact between both physical and virtual worlds. 'Augmented reality (AR) is a term for a live direct or indirect view of a physical real-world environment whose elements are merged with (or augmented by) virtual computer-generated imagery - creating a mixed reality'

Neuromance is a capsule collection of Industrial, and mediEVIL references. Thrash, Death + Black metal imagery. Digital printed silk detailing and embroidered patches, feature on L/S tees, Melton wool Tailoring, zip up hooded tops and cropped nappa leather bombers. The range also includes assault vests with neoprene pocket details, graphic tees with CGI blood and chrome with glow in the dark screen prints.

I'm Here!

The new short feature film by Spike Jonze made its entrance at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Its a robot romance and a futuristic fable rooted in the universal emotions of first love, ruminating on youth, identity, autonomy and loss.  What began as a small project in the wake of Where the Wild Things Are quickly blossomed into a 35-minute tale.  Can't wait to see the whole feature, heres a snippet to wet your appetite!
