Is projection mapping the greatest thing since sliced bread? How can there be film festivals these days that do not feature this? It is too cool.
Thanks to Emily Johnson for the tip!
Update: That video went down, but here’s another example of projection mapping:
Imagine a world where we draw tributes to all our favorite films. Thanks to VHX for tipping me to this
I have long been working on a film about a man who walks around the world. Maybe the walking has been the problem. It’s slow food for a fast food world. Perhaps the film should have been this instead…

My friend Dan McGuire tipped me to this great video that ThisIsColossal.com sourced. Beyond being truly beautiful and incredibly well executed, the animators have a name (“Oh Yeah Wow”)I am jealous of — and that doesn’t happen too often.
I love that I can be inspired every day and still know that I am not seeing even close to all there is. There’s so much great work out there. May it never end. Oh yeah wow.
How great is it to be lost into a short, transported, and then to recognize — know again — what you have known for so long: that movies are magic.

It was at the only projected WorkInProgress screening we had for Martha Marcy May Marlene. The film was submitted to Sundance on a 6 week cut and Sean Durkin had to lock at 8 weeks to get in done in time for the festival. There was no money but Technicolor helped us out with a weekday screening. The only people generally who could come were screenwriters as virtually everyone else we knew were working.
Screenwriters can be a bit focused on structure, some on discipline. The point was raised that this song was not like any other moment in the film. People started to suggest it be cut. My wife –one of the few women in the room — stood up and said it was the crucial moment when Marcy May feels loved. She was right. It needed to be there. Sean knew it too.
Even if it had been cut, I think it would have made my list of favorite MUSIC moments of 2011
