Late January Friday has arrived!
I know what you’re thinking: “at last!”
Video time!
» Dr Strangelove. Opening titles by Pablo Ferro
“Pablo Ferro has managed to create his own language which is burned into our minds’ eye. Thanks to credit titles for films such as Dr. Strangelove, Bullitt, Men in Black or The Thomas Crown Affair, he has become one of the definitive pillars of audiovisual design and a key reference for fans of the genre.”
This is an absolutely excellent breakdown of the title sequence of this seminal Kubrick film.
There’s also a great breakdown over at The Art of the Title.
Well done.
This is a montage of 300 movies edited into one epic trailer. After a while you begin to feel like this is actually every single movie trailer you’ve ever seen.
Well done / depressing.
» Undeveloped World War II Film Discovered
“The Rescued Film Project discovers and processes 31 rolls of film shot by an American WWII soldier over 70 years ago.”
Pretty fantastic.
» How to sound smart in your TEDx Talk | Will Stephen | TEDxNewYork
“In a hilarious talk capping off a day of new ideas at TEDxNewYork, professional funny person Will Stephen shows foolproof presentation skills to make you sound brilliant — even if you are literally saying nothing.”
I lol’d.
Bonus Video:
In which the comedian trolls a Nigerian scammer. Loved it.
Have a great weekend everybody!
