Inspiration: The Third & The Seventh: ALEX ROMAN
A few years back the work of Joseph Kosenski and his company KD Labs created a fusion of CG, Architecture, Animation and Story Telling. The work is incredibly inspiring to me. Now comes The Third & The Seventh by Alex Roman. I find myself, once again, inspired and feeling proud that we have artists capable of using the tools at our disposal to create beauty and wonder.

Gordon Willis: Oscar Winner
Great article by Steve Pond – especially his comments on modern film:
“Do you have favorite cinematographers now, or movies you think are particularly well shot?
People ask me that question, and I’d rather not step in to it. You can get all tangled up in the wrong thing to say. Yes, there are people who are still making reasonably good movies. But they’re few and far between. I’m stuck in the past. I still like movies where people talk to each other, that are narrative driven. That’s getting rare.
