Typography forever
The Alphabet from n9ve on Vimeo.
An animated type video sent to me by my friend Sacha, I love it, animation is something I'd be interested in looking into trying if I could just get my head around it. It hurts my brain. Think I'll attempt a flip book first. One day.

My mind is blown.
I was having a little look into how the Coldplay video was actually done and Chris Martin did most definitely learn the song backwards and the phonetics and everything and he is in fact singing backwards my god! I also found out that on a DVD as an extra there is a version where the video is played forwards and the song is sung/played backwards, which is what you can see above. My mind!
Sometimes it's okay to go backwards
We've started to think about the idea of either filming our film forwards and then playing it backwards or filming it backwards and playing it forwards. At this moment in time we are more set on filming backwards and playing forwards as it will give a very jerky, surreal effect.
EXTREME CLOSE UP!
I've written extreme close up so many times now that this is all that's rolling round in my head.
Party on Wayne! Party on Garth
Party time, excellent.

What are experimental films?
Just some of the things I've written down in my research in my layout pad.Just what I think on them.
reflection - mirrors, computer effects
repetition, pattern, symmetry
close ups, big close ups, extreme close ups
little or no linear narrative
fast paced - sharps changes, cutaways
grainy, gritty
blurry
surreal?
amateur - even when made by professionals still seem amateur
underground?
contrast
little or no sound, if any it is broken and disjointed, strange
disorientating
thought provoking, leave lots of unanswered questions
obscure, obscure subjects
make the audience feel uncomfortable (well us at least)
typical features:
non-narrative
impressionistic and poetic approaches to the films construction
Origins can be found in European avant-garde movements of the 20s.
Different from and opposing to mainstream films and documentaries (hipster really)
However some critics say it's become it's own mainstream genre now (hipster fail)
