LIFT

Written by Jake. Filed under Video. No comments.

Here’s a beau­ti­ful short film made in 2001 by UK film­maker Marc Issacs who doc­u­mented the res­i­dents of a tower block in Lon­don. Isaacs sets up at the most impor­tant com­mu­nal space: the ele­va­tors (or the lifts as the brits elo­quently call them). As the movie pro­gresses, famil­iar faces pro­gres­sively open up to the film­maker and reveal a vari­ety of details about their pri­vate lives.

This deserves to be watched. Put it on your to-do list for when you have half an hour to spare. (fullscreen it)

Com­mer­cial pho­tog­ra­pher Chase Jarvis is cur­rently doing a pho­to­shoot and broad­cast­ing it live. You will get a very rarely behind the scenes look at the cre­ative process. The cam­era­man is also ask­ing spe­cific ques­tions through­out the ses­sion so tech­ni­cal peo­ple will also ben­e­fit from watch­ing this.

done

Finally. It’s done! We finally have a brand new web­site that works and looks much bet­ter than the old one. The major advan­tage this update brings is that I am no longer tied down to Rapid­Weaver. Don’t get me wrong, RW is won­der­ful but Word­press allows for so much more. (hello enlarge­ment pills spam in the comments)

For those of you who are new to this web­site, don’t panic.The lack of con­tent is due to the new tran­si­tion, it’ll get filled back up in no time.
