Masterpieces in 3D

With new 3D TV technology getting better all the time, haven't you wondered what classic works of art would look like in 3D?

Alice by Jan Svankmajer (1989)

TO BUY THE DVD of Alice go here: http://firstrunfeatures.com/shopsite_...

IN THIS SCENE: Alice begins her journey by following the White Rabbit into Wonderland.

ABOUT THIS FILM: When Alice follows the White Rabbit into Wonderland, so begins this dream expedition into the astonishing landscape of childhood, through many dangerous adventures, and ultimately to Alice's trial before the King and Queen of Hearts.

Czech animator Jan Svankmajer has created a masterpiece of cinema, a strikingly original interpretation of Lewis Carroll's classic tale. Svankmajer's Alice remains true to the absurdity of Carroll's original, but bears the stamp of his own distinctive style and obsessions. Combining techniques of animation and live action, he gives a new and fascinating dimension to the classic tale of childhood fantasies.

"Svankmajer's film explores Alice in Wonderland's dark undercurrents: it unearths the fears that animate dreams and nightmares." -New York Times

Fard

Fard is an animated short directed by Luis Bricenco and David Alapont. It’s in French with no subtitles, but the plot is visual. The action really gets going about four minutes in. The style and effects make it quite memorable.

From directors Luis Bricenco and David Alapont, Fard is a new animated short blessed with a classic sense of style. With its muted color palette and clean lines, Fard manages to evoke a sort of classic neo-futurism, a vision of the future that wouldn't have seemed out of place in Fritz Lang's day but doesn't seem dated today, either.

The film has had a very strong festival run already and is now available to view online in its entirety. No subtitles, unfortunately, but the dialogue is minimal and the style and feel of the thing shines through so clearly that it's worth a viewing regardless. Check it below.

Modern day slavery in Middle East (Migrant Rights)

"For too long, migrant workers have been an ‘invisible majority’ in the Middle East. They are rarely discussed in the media and receive little protection from the governments of host countries, many of whom have no clear policies for safeguarding their welfare. Please join our struggle for migrant rights in the region: http:www.migrant-rights.org"

Fully Epic Rapsody - The Fully Sick Rapper

Christiaan Van Vuuren created a viral video two months about about his experiences in quarantine for drug-resistant tuberculosis. He’s still there, and has had plenty of time to hone his video editing skills:

It has now been 102 long days that Ive been here in the hospital all up, isolated with a case of Multi-Drug Resistant TB.... Yep... Still going... Is it normal if you want to eat your own leg?

Thanks for watching my videos so far, you are all fully sick, but like, sick in the way that a good night out can be sick.

For this most recent gangsta rap music video, I really wanted to do something that was out of control - so I enlisted the help of my brother. He is only able to come in for short visits here and there, for which he has to get masked up and wear protective gloves, but it was enough for us to be able to get fully sick and that with his digital handycam (hence the increase in video quality from my previous fully sick projects).

In many countries of the world, people with Multi-Drug Resistant TB would be lucky to even receive medical attention whatsoever, so I fully stoked to be receiving the mad medical care that I am getting here in Australia. Even above and beyond this epic level of care, I am lucky in the sense that I have had access to some totally rad entertainment, which has kept me sane over the last 102 days (this level of sanity is open for debate).

This new Youtube video is a Tribute to some of the DVDs that Ive watched to kill my time here in quarantine, and to make it a bit Hollywood my brother and I have used ANY AND EVERY fully sick special effect that we knew was in existence, to make this a truely epic RAPsody...

FAQ: (Fully Awesome Questions)
- The song was written, recorded and mixed in the hospital on a Macbook Pro using Logic Express
- All filming was done on a regular digital handycam in the hospital during brief visits to my room
- For all of the special effects, my brother and I improvised by hanging a green sheet on the wall in my hospital room
- All editing and finishing was done on a Macbook Pro using Final Cut

Oh yeah... and... I love you for watching.

Skateboardanimation

A ton of digital photos, a ton of real life magazines, an hour of recording music.

Unfortunately i cannot tell exactly which photographer is responsible for which photograph in the fist place. I found some of the photography on the web, in Foundations That's Life and in skateboard magazines such as Monster Skateboard magazine, Limited Skateboarding magazine and Place magazine.
Thanks to everyone who made that little video possible.

How Books Were Made

Pictorial Webster's: Inspiration to Completion from John Carrera on Vimeo.

In the summer of 1995, bookmaker Johnny Carrera of Quercus Press found a tattered Webster’s 1898 International Dictionary under his grandfather’s favorite chair. He was fascinated with the thousands of engravings and spent the next decade of his life remaking the book using a Linotype machine.

The result is the gorgeous handmade Pictorial Webster. It’s not just a book. It’s an artwork. If you don’t have a spare $3,500 to buy the deluxe full leather book, you can still get the great unwashed version for $23 at Amazon.

If you see only one video clip today, let this be it. Then check out the official Pictorial Webster’s project page.

From the discovery of the 1898 International Dictionary to linotyping the entries to printing the last print on the vandercook to cutting the fingertabs of the deluxe edition, this video gives a quick overview of the process of creating the Pictorial Webster's fine press edition.
