Okay this is the other video I mentioned yesterday. This one isn’t a narrative, it’s a bit more of an experimental-performance-art piece, but I’m into that too.
“Another friend of mine (Sarah Piantadosi, who was behind the Stop Motion Vogueing video a few posts back.) was the Director of Photography on the Video Lookbook for the new Nova Dando line.”
Designers are starting to get more creative in the ways they show off their garments. For their Spring campaign the folks at Steve Alan put together this short film. It’s nice. Feel good.
Also I was pleasantly surprised to recognized two of the folks in the video. Kat Clements and Andrew De Francesco, two folks I met briefly in Paris, were the Stylist and Still Photographers for the project. They make a cameo around the 4:30 mark. They’re the cute couple behind the counter.
Another friend of mine(Sarah Piantadosi, who was behind the Stop Motion Vogueing video a few posts back.) was the Director of Photography on the Video Lookbook for the new Nova Dando line. (The youtube link is down but you can watch it on the website for now… NovaDando.com)
Some of you may not know this but this website has existed in one form or another for over 5 years. In terms of “the internet” that is pretty long, a year before youtube even.
Anyways, this is what the site looked like in what was potentially the best time of my life…
I kind of want to get this textbook for pleasure-reading/personal-interest. I should be reading the textbooks for my classes at school but this one looks a little cooler.
The book details all sorts of manufacturing processes and materials. So when I finally get to the “making things” part of the career-plan it could be helpful.
I came across this weird website that has incredibly in-depth reviews and photos of every Super Soaker water gun produced. I was able to find the gun I had when I was 12 years old, the Super Soaker XP 75. The XP was for extra power.
Let me tell you, I had a lot of good times with that gun. My sister had less good times. In those days we spent a lot of time down at my family’s cabin at Pelican Lake. I discovered that the nozzle of the gun was the same size as the spaces between the boards of the boat dock. I would sit in the water there and wait, sometimes as long as an hour, for someone to walk out on the deck. Then I would nail them from below and laugh and laugh.
