Small Black - "Real People"

3/25/2014

0 Comments

 

Recently, I was fortunate enough to work with some rad folks on this music video "Real People" from Brooklyn based band, Small Black. I'm all about the aesthetics with this one, totally brings me back to those youthful rainy days watching 80's sci-fi on tv.
I can dig it, for sure!

MWM / 1xRUN / VERTIGO

Happy to drop the latest Matt W. Moore video for his new print, VERTIGO. Check it out...
MWM / 1xRUN / Vertigo

"Vertigo is a 3 color (greyscale) screen print directly on raw aluminum, a process that creates lots of interesting opportunities for different lighting, reflections, and magic moments. Throughout the process of designing it I was always mindful of where the aluminum sections would shine through the art. It’s not just a flat art dropped onto a cool material, I really integrated the aluminum into the design, so there are lots of moments where the highlights of forms are made from the actual light in the environment instead of the ink color in the artwork.

The artwork has a fun ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ story to it. It is a portrayal of the idea of vertigo. Disorienting and confusing, hard to decipher, which way is up and down. The typography in the piece reads ‘Vertigo’ 4 different times, in all 4 directions, so it is possible for the art to hang in any way and reveal another cryptic typographic execution. I love the idea of rotating a print every week, month, or year and having a new narrative to decipher and appreciate." - Matt W. Moore

Field Notes: T/F Day 4

3/4/2014

0 Comments

 

Day 4 has wrapped in chilly Comlumbia, MO.

The weekend temperaturs dipped will into the single digits with dustings of snow and bouts of freezing rain, only reinforcing the bounding experience.

The day was booked with some heavy hitters, Rich Hill & Boyhood being obvious highlights. Cairo Drive was on deck until a projection failure cancelled the screening, some impromptu performance by Maine's Tough Cats smoothed the experience. I hope to catch it upon a national release.

The night closed with yet another amazing Buskers Last Stand performance at the Missouri Theater, featuring The Tough Cats & Samuel James (Maine), as well as Yes Ma'am, Raya Brass Band and Les Trois Coups.

Finally wrapping out the volunteer party around 2am, the Maine Contingent (proudly rolling with 4 new members, Ian, Andrea, Colin & Sam) found warmth and refuge at the Berlin Cafe for a night cap and waffles, bringing the True/False experience full circle.

What a weekend. I'm already looking forward to next year.

Trailers and recap coming soon.

Day 2 wrapped. Apples and Sausage at the Berlin, just as good as last year. Found one of the raddest Cosby sweaters ever, photos soon to come. Notable films: Sacro GRA, might have been my favorite film of the weekend so far. The Vanguishing of the Witch Baba Yaga had the best sound track I've heard in a while. Feeling really great about this weekend so far...

The Fall in photos...

The last three or four months I spent doing some traveling. A jaunt in the North East and a few healthy treks across the state of Oregon, mostly on work related adventures.
Although it's nice to be back home catching up and making YME edits, I can't help but reminisce about the great outdoors...
