"Despair" starring Bryce Dallas Howard

Photographer Alex Prager Turns Director With This 50s Chiller.

The setting: 1960s Los Angeles. Inside a phone booth stands a beautiful woman wearing the portentous femme fatale uniform of red lipstick and high heels. Bright and eerie, it's picture-perfection. In her first short film, LA-based photographer Alex Prager is going for pure, cinematic melodrama, hoping to catch just one emotion—despair—through her chilling juxtaposition of dreamy Americana aesthetics and back-story brimming with overstated tragedy. Set to a score by composer Ali Helnwein and starring model and actress Bryce Dallas Howard, the film takes its cues from the opening of Charles Laughton's Night of the Hunter (1955), and the Hans Christian Andersen-inspired 1948 ballet The Red Shoes. According to Prager, Despair was conceived as a living, full-sensory version of her photographic work, which has previously been exhibited at M+B Gallery in Los Angeles, Yancey Richardson in New York and Michael Hoppen in London. "I'd like to show the before, now and after of one of my images----that's really the concept of the film," she says. Accustomed to running a one-woman show on her shoots, where she usually plays photographer, stylist, set-designer and everything in between, Prager was ensnared by the collaborative nature of creating a film. "It's like taking every art medium and melding it into one," she says. "It's incredible!" As for working with Howard, a fast-rising talent (and the daughter of director Ron Howard) best known for her performances in M. Night Shyamalan's The Village and Lady in the Water, Prager credits fate for bringing them together. She knew it could be no one but the fair-skinned beauty after deciding the role called for a redhead with serious acting chops. Howard's graceful, porcelain-like look seems to embody one of Prager's defining characteristics as an artist—her unabashed love for, and understanding of, color. As for suspense: one of the stills from the four-minute film is headed to the prestiguous MoMA this September for the group show New Photography 2010, where Prager is exhibiting alongside Elad Lassry, Roe Ethridge and Amanda Ross-Ho. Film stills from Despair are currently being exhibited and sold exclusively by Michael Hoppen Contemporary in London.

Clinic - I'm Aware

Rewiring their trademark hyped up sound Clinic have entered a dream state of harpsichord, dulcimers and strings. And that dream state is best visualized by means of the psychedelic puppetry in their new video for "I'm Aware", their first single off of Bubblegum.

The video was directed by Peter Fowler (the gentleman behind many of Super Furry Animals artwork and visuals).

Yan City: The Past Meets the Future

Yan City: Yan Yu Chun Qiu Feature

Yan City is a beautiful, ancient city in China. It is steeped in mythology and has a long and rich history. It is a place that is other-worldly, with a sense of mystery, harmony and tranquillity.

With the opening of the impressive Yan City museum, Spinifex was commissioned to create an epic video piece depicting the history of this ancient place.

The video coincides with continuing efforts to build a strong brand and attraction for Yan City. It is played out in a permanent, nightly show to entertain an audience of up to 300 people at one time during a 40 to 60 minute show.

The AV content involved in this show appears on three main surfaces:
- The wall of the museum – approximately 200-250 metres wide
- A large invisible scrim – approximately 75-100 metres wide
- A Water Screen – approximately 40-50 metres

DiRT 3 - Trailer

This is the Marketing Trailer we produced at RealtimeUK for the new "DiRT 3" game from Codemasters.

The movie is one continuous piece of car physics, on one continuous camera.

It was a challenge producing an animatic that was hand animated and trying to conform physics to those cameras and timings. We ended up having to increase the timings on some sections and shorten them on others, as the car physics ran at different speeds to the animatic.

The other challenge was getting all of the environments to seamlessly match up using the same car pass and cameras.

The job was completed using 3dsmax and Vray, then composited in AfterFX.

On and off, it took about 6 Artists approximately 3months to complete.

I was the Lead Artist on the job. I produced some of the animatic, cleaned and animated the car physics (supplied by codemasters), and completed the lighting, compositing and rendering for the movie.
