Creative bricolage promotes famous fashion brands | Creativity D&AD Yellow Pencil winning art director Mat Maitland recently collaborated with creative studio Not To Scale on this eye-catching campaign for fashion and luxury specialist AR New York. The 'Electric Jungle' concept features six evocative films, all of which are composed of numerous elements, brought together with a bricolage technique and stamped with Maitland's signature illustrative style. We chatted with the art director to find out more. How did the brief come about? The concept of the characters going on a journey into a surreal dreamworld, in this case a colourful consumer dream, was tailored around my collage style, which is why I was approached by AR in New York. What elements did the brief include? The brief was to introduce our model in-flight in the real world at the start of each piece, then transport them into the collage world and then back to the real world so this involved a set build and green screen shoot. Talk us through your design approach to the project.
What is the difference between The Hobbit and the news? Not as much as there should be | Charlie Brooker Quick, close your eyes for a second and picture the 1920s. What did you see? If you're anything like me, the projectionist in your head put on a newsreel consisting of black-and-white footage of flappers doing the Charleston, or a queue of men in flat caps patiently waiting for the great depression to kick off in earnest. And chances are the footage was jittery and slightly speeded-up. It's a curious testament to the power of moving pictures that you have to strain to remember that in reality, people walked at a normal pace back then. Our perception of eras seems chiefly dependent on the limitations of the technology that records them. Then in the 80s, our memories are transferred on to video, lending them a shiny, slightly tinny feel. Around 2005 things start making the transition to HD – and then we get to today, and a weird new trend is emerging.
Werner Herzog Film: Home ************** — Keren Cytter Zapatillas Rusas Eli Evans plays chicken by Eli S. Evans There is a moment in Jean-Luc Godard’s 1966 Masculin Feminin in which the character played by a young and brilliant Jean-Pierre Léaud claims that one day at home while eating mashed potatoes his father discovered why the earth goes round the sun. “Galileo discovered it first,” he a moment later concedes, “but all of a sudden, just like that, my father had rediscovered why the earth goes round the sun exactly as Galileo did originally.” It’s a joke, of course – after all, one need not have specific knowledge of the work of Galileo in order to be living in a world organized in part according to the assumption that the “earth goes round the sun,” and in which that fact is therefore not something to be discovered but, if anything, only noticed. It’s all a bit maddening. Herzog during the filming of Burden of Dreams About the Author: Eli S.
