  • Portraits in Dramatic Time

    October 12th, 2011 / Comments (0)

    Whitehouse Post editor John Luisi composed a trailer from 40 video portraits of renowned film and theater actors including Alan Rickman, William H. Macy, Lily Taylor and Liev Schreiber — shot by artist and director David Michalek for an exhibit entitled Portraits in Dramatic Time, which premiered as part of the 2011 Lincoln Center Festival.

    The forty shorts of Portraits in Dramatic Time featured actors in character in the process of working a scene. The portraits were shot using an innovative slow motion technique involving a fixed high speed, high definition camera recording several thousand frames per second at 10 to 15 second intervals — resulting in videos of 8 or more minutes each.

    The resulting videos can undeniably be described as moving portraits. Subtle details of the actors' process within the characters become powerfully evident in the scenes. The installation was displayed on an 85 ft by 45 ft screen that hung in front of the David H. Koch Theater for passersby to view.

    Many of you could use this. Very functional little html5 site. See what we did there?

  • The First Instagram Music Video

    October 11th, 2011 / Comments (0)

    The Vaccines asked fans to use Instagram to capture moments at music festivals this summer and simply tag them #vaccinesvideo. Then they wrote a really good song. And then they made this really good video.

    Cool idea using existing technology making it super easy for the user. We will continue to see more of this use of Instagram.

  • This October, Celebrate Jesusween Instead

    October 10th, 2011 / Comments (0)

    Remember when you went trick-or-treating to a house that gave you pennies instead of candy. Or worse yet - when the neighborhood dentist gave you a toothbrush and toothpaste in lieu of mini Snickers?

    Yeah, well this is about a million times worse.

    They'd better quickly add "Thou shalt not egg" as a commandment or some of these people are in for a rude surprise.

    And now for a real live news show.

  • Shameful: Obama Supports Job Creation by Launching a Spec Design Competition

    October 10th, 2011 / Comments (1)

    It's okay for designers to do free work — as long as it's going toward the noble cause of helping get jobs for other people. Honestly, when did the world start thinking of us as whores? And what the hell are we going to do to shift the tide on this? People simply do not respect our profession — including the current leader of our country.
