Animals within

My sister took this photo awhile back and I’ve always loved it just because of the interpretations that can come along with it. Enjoy!

Feel Good Inc. Music Video

Okay, so this is a bit different, but I’m sure plenty of you have seen it before. I love Gorillaz and their music, and I especially love Jamie Hewlett (Gorillaz artist, also did Tank Girl). This music video, in comparison to many of the other Gorillaz videos, is very layered and dimensional.

I’ve always loved this music video, but I can’t find much about it. Jamie Hewlett did, however, mention that scenes in the video were inspired by Hayao Miyazaki’s work (specifically Castle in the Sky), who I am a huge, huge fan of.

Foreign Beggars Music Video

I love music, and I love film-making, which means that music videos tend to be a source of inspiration – or at least a source of visual/auditory creative stimulation. I really enjoy this particular video by Foreign Beggars. It becomes particularly interesting when the music changes at around 2:27.

Living, breathing, moving, noise-making, visual art.

Porcelain Unicorn

Many of my posts will be related to film, I’m sure. This is a wonderful short film that I fell in love with the first time I saw it.

Porcelain Unicorn

Entrants in the Philips-sponsored constrained cinema competition “Tell It Your Way” were restricted to six lines of dialogue: “What is that?,” “It’s a unicorn,” “Never seen one up close before,” “Beautiful,” “Get away, get away,” and “I’m sorry.”

Keegan Wilcox’s Porcelain Unicorn, hand-picked as the Grand Prize Winner by director Ridley Scott, is making the rounds again today, and it’s certainly worth a second (and third, and fourth, and tenth) glance.

It’s amazing how such small things brought together can create such a rich and touching story.
