Just recently started editing the short my friend Pradeep and I co-wrote and co-directed. I probably shouldn’t be getting ahead of myself, but here’s a couple frames I pulled during editing today.

Scintillation by Xavier Chassaing, I can’t count the number of times I’ve watched this little film the past few weeks. It carries so much the essence of one of my favorite films, Blade Runner. The balls of fire, the delicate music, the color palette, the stillness. Modern but classic, calm but pulsing. It is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a long time. Perfect.

Vincent Moon is the guy that shoots the “Take Away Shows” and he has some really beautiful shorts. This one is composed of crunchy black and whites and is an enchanting tale of love set in China.

Moon is great at capturing something that seems to lie between film, photography and even painting at times. This particular short I could really feel. It seems a fitting response to my Dear Diary post-college monologue of confusion below, Desublimination!

I did this video in spring of 2008 for a photo class. It was my first experience trying to use stop motion, and looking back at it I realize the technical errors are more blatant than I first thought. There are few more videos from this project that I’ll eventually post. I’m looking forward to picking this project back up someday, I love hearing about people’s dreams.
