PROJECT ARBITER [short film]
•October 10, 2014 • Leave a Comment
If you have 20mins to spare, you might like this indie-science-fiction espionage excursion set during the Nazi occupation of World War II. PROJECT ARBITER follows a solider in an experimental suit fighting off an army of Nazis. It has a cool, sci-fi/steampunk aesthetic, and the action is done extremely well, as is the cinematography:
1943. Thousands of feet above Northern Europe, a small plane carries a skeleton crew of the Allies best, including special operative captain Joseph Colburn. His handler, major Thomas Hardy does a final review of the mission’s grim intel: infiltrate a mysterious villa on the Polish border and uncover its secrets.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS SCENE:
•October 10, 2014 • Leave a Comment
“Here, Captain America — a hero in this film — is standing still while three other kinds of heroes, rush around to do their job. (this is in no way bashing Cap, he is simply standing still at this moment, most likely in shock/fatigue). A soldier, a BLACK COP and two firemen. While American’s super soldier is immobilized, our every day heroes are still fighting to ensure safety and peace. The fact that Marvel created this moment in their film, a film focused on the heroes, speaks yet again to their message that you don’t have to be a super, to be super.”
‘Tales You Lose’ by Andre Levy
•October 9, 2014 • Leave a CommentDesigner Andre Levy takes everyday coins and hand-paints them with images of pop culture icons from cartoon and movie characters to historical figures, bringing individual character to each replica:
“We are constantly surrounded by pop figures – in films, in music, comics, and even in gossip magazines. They are sometimes our escape from reality, our fantasies. Coins portray something opposite: the real, the everyday. In beginning 2013, wondering about how some old statues lost their colours through time, I started questioning whether something else could also have vanished beyond the paint.
As an experiment, I decided to bring colour to sculptures which were not conceived as such, and the material I had at my disposal were the coins and their effigies. This project is about individual expression in opposition tomassified thinking, about how our personal passions are more worthy than things that are imposed to us. The paint brings to the faces of kings and presidents borrowed narratives from other famous characters and unleash individual alternative stories.” ~ Andre Levy

Polyphonic Overtone Singing by Anna-Maria Hefele
•October 6, 2014 • Leave a CommentAnne-Maria Hefele can sing a duet with herself, basically, which by common standards of singing, isn’t basic at all. What singer Anna-Maria is performing is a unique style of overtone singing. For instance, at 3:25, she moves the fundamental and overtone in opposite directions, which will have you raising an eyebrow and tilting your head ever so slightly in disbelief:
Wow. She has quite a gift. Anna-Maria sure looks human, but she sounds more otherworldly than the Diva Plavalaguna herself, wouldn’t you agree?
Haley Bonar “Last War” [music video]
•October 6, 2014 • Leave a CommentHaley Bonar was discovered during an open mic event by one of her musical heroes, Alan Sparhawk of Low. The next day she quit school, crammed her Honda Civic full of gear with her drummer, and was opening for Low across the country she had barely seen. Haley was twenty years old. Since then, she has released four full length albums, several EPs, started a punk/new-wave side project (Gramma’s Boyfriend), had songs tapped for major motion pictures and has had the pleasure to tour from coast-to-coast playing some of the most amazing venues with some of the most talented artists in the world.

Toasters; They Can Be Scary…
•October 9, 2014 • Leave a CommentMy friend posted a status update on Facebook that made my day. She watches “Criminal Minds” she tells me, but was somehow frightened by her toaster. She wouldn’t appreciate me talking about her, so instead, here are some cat reaction videos, or reenactments if you will, of how I imagined my friend jumping, when I read her status:
Haha, the suspense! …I think I may like these videos way more than anticipated.
