Here’s one of my photos of today. I was on my insland to see the characteristic procession of Good Friday. A tradition dating back to mid 1500, where tables representing key Jesus’ lifes episodes are carried by hand along the island. If you’re curious, continue to my flickr page, otherwise, … goodbye.

Awesome designer’s portfolio

What am I doing recently? Well, aside from looking for a job that doesn’t arrive (T___T) I’m also surfing the net looking for awesome designers’ stuff and… here I am, presenting you a great portfolio. I’m talking about a RIT senior student, about to graduate, who I had the pleasure to work with last summer: Linzi Bergmann. Her work speaks for her, so she doesn’t need any more words, but only you to visit her website and videos on vimeo.

Enjoy.

 

The art of making a movie…

Is the art of creating more than an atmosphere; it’s creating a whole frame of mind. When you get the chance to watch something responding to this description you realize you’ve been pretty lucky. You suddenly start thinking that watching a good movie has some sort of healing and calming power.

Watching a very good movie heals your soul.

 

This is what I thought two nights ago, after watching a famous movie I didn’t happen to see in theaters, I’m talking about “Brokeback Mountain”, by Ang Lee. It really is a cinema masterpiece, but not for the story. Even if this movie was highly helped in gaining its fame by the theme it treated, it really deserved all those awards. I personally believe, making a movie isn’t simply telling a story. If it was only this, every piece of video would be called “movie”, instead it’s not this way the world works. Ang Lee is a master of storytelling, a dreammaker. Everything in the movie, soundtrack, landscapes, actors’ small gestures, words and more importantly silences contribute in equal part to a film that breaches in your heart. There is no need for explosions, big stars (even if Ledger and Gyllenhaal are), huge sets to make a rocking film.

Great 2 h 25′ of my audience life. Thanks Ang Lee and everyone who made this reality.
