Hahahaha

I hope you don’t think I’m a Watchmen-file now but this was just too much to not post hahaha.

The largest projector in the world was used to create a 100-foot visage of Dr. Manhattan for the London premier or Watchmen.  Noteworthy: He was reportedly going commando but luckily things were “mercifully fuzzy” for those who might be offended.  PS. Watchmen is not for the faint of heart.  Don’t watch it if you’re not ready to be shocked (or even disturbed) in more ways than one.

Just When You Thought They Were Sleeping

They were not.

 A new commercial for Brand Jordan.  Even if you have no interest in basketball it’s worth a peek.  Great use of camera angles, music, and sound effects make you feel like you’re on a battlefield rather than a court.  View it here.  [Via Motionographer]

Pretty cool. [Check out all 3]

The Fall

Motionographer recently kicked of a mini-series called “The Art of the Title,” honoring title sequences of what they consider truly beautiful title sequences.  Their first installment honors a film I watched awhile ago, which I felt was worth highlighting.  When the first trailers for The Fall started dropping I found myself holding my breath for what looked to be the most visually arresting film since 300 had sacked theaters in with its epic shots and visceral slow motion.  Filmed by the notorious Tarsem Singh, more commonly known simply as “Tarsem,” The Fall was director’s second feature film (the first being The Cell), set to debut at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival.

Unfortunately, like J-Lo’s flick, the movie as a whole turned out to be lackluster, featuring a storyline that was perhaps overly dramatic and hard to relate to.  But also like The Cell, storyline aside, the cinematography of the film was nothing less than stunning.  If you’re in the market for visual inspiration, both films are more than worth a peek.

Like Zack Snyder in 300, Motionographer points out that Tarsem masterfully utilizes slow motion to give chaos an eerie sense of tranquility.  View the breathtaking title sequence of The Fall here.
