“I live in Los Angeles. I drive in Los Angeles. I think about traffic a lot in Los Angeles. A few months ago, I discovered Matt Logue’s Empty LA photographs. I didn’t think much about it at the time, but every time I was stuck in rush hour all-hour traffic, I found myself thinking – What if tomorrow everyone’s car disappeared.” – Ross Ching, Film Maker

Absolutely love the music, and the usage of such beautiful live music as opposed to the conventional hiphop beats. Spectacular and very inspiring. I am in awe.

Iceland, Eyjafjallajökull – May 1st and 2nd, 2010 from Sean Stiegemeier on Vimeo.

“So I saw all of these mediocre pictures of that volcano in Iceland nobody can pronounce the name of, so I figured I should go and do better. But the flights to get over took forever as expected (somewhat). 4 days after leaving I finally made it, but the weather was terrible for another 4. Just before leaving it got pretty good for about a day and a half and this is what I managed to get.” – Sean Stiegemeier, Cinematographer/Director

This song isn’t new but oh god this video is just amazing!

So this is my first post on this blog and i wanted to start off on a not so completely random but alas still fun pilot post.

So what do you get when you combine a butt load of known logos, some movie themes and craziness?

This video.

M.I.A, Born Free by ROMAIN-GAVRAS

“For me it was always a question… If we have such a fast life, we have to have long art… I always believe the artist’s function is to connect disconnected society and give some kind of awareness, not just spiritual but where they live…”

“Its so important in life of the artists to know a few things: to know when to stop the work and how to die.”

Marina Abramović’s
‘The Artist is Present’ is a performance retrospective at MoMA, New York, from March 14-May 31, 2010.

I love how the interlocking of the two family members’ fingers not only successfully communicates the key message of the importance of a seatbelt, but it serves as a reminder that anyone who ever gets involved in such tragedies, hurts not only themselves, but those they share a close bond with. I’m starting to sound like I work with the traffic police, I’m sorry!

I also love how the pre-accident bit is in slow motion, coupled with soothing music that may be representative of how we take life for granted, and then followed by the sudden thrust of a driver, a father, a husband, a best friend, a bread winner, a son.

The ad is further dramatised with the flying of the coins/bits/pieces, representative of a car crash, perhaps also to display how brittle life can be, and that it can all break apart into the tiniest little pieces, fly away and disappear in an instance.

Employing the soft approach, lovely to see that all this was done without the conventional employment of blood, dead bodies, mourning family members, screaming eyewitnesses, crashed cars, ambulances and the likes.

Definitely a work of art this ad is.
