Coral: Rekindling Venus

Jem — Sat, 12 May 2012 02:18:56 +0000

This is the key art – or rather, these are the key art – for Lynette Wallworth’s new work Coral: Rekindling Venus which is a video work designed solely for fulldome planetarium. It was quite a challenge to represent a circular, full field-of-vision immersion onto a 27×41 canvas. So I took a different tack. It’s an astonishing, otherworldly experience that should knock any preconceptions you have about video art squarely in the chops, and as such is highly recommended if you have a planetarium nearby.

Despite the Gods

This is a pretty interesting film about filmmaking, spiritual journeys and cultural differences (and especially cultural differences to filmmaking as a spiritual journey). I didn’t realise Jennifer Lynch was only 19 when she did (the much underrated) Boxing Helena. Imagine being at the centre of that shitstorm, with all the pressure that would come with being the daughter of the pre-eminent American filmmaker of his generation.Then imagine how it would have been at 19. So I thought at the very least she deserved some devotional art :)

Hey, it’s a short. Why can’t we have a quad poster? No reason whatsoever.

Do Not Disturb

This is a fashion film for NOM*D that I did the special effects for. Oh, and the ‘concept’ was half mine too, but as the range is called “Do Not Disturb” I won’t be nominating myself for any Nobel Prizes in the near future. Tools used: After Effects, Cinema 4D. Directed by the lovely Rebecca O’Brien.

I answered eight questions over at the Poster Collective. You can read the answers (and the questions, helpfully) here.

Adobe Design For Impact

Jem — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:07:40 +0000

I was chosen by Adobe as one of four international ‘design heroes’ to present a selection of my work and discuss design and layout, at a live web conference in Singapore. It’s quite a design-focused chat rather than a film-focused one, but we talk about the processes behind Animal Kingdom and Burning Man at some length, and also touch on the joys of marketing, typography and how Photoshop saved my life.

Interview for MUBI’s Poster of the Week

Jem — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 00:24:20 +0000

Adrian Curry had already given some very kind reviews of my work before, so when he decided to highlight the Burning Man poster in his regular column, he asked me for a few words about it. Naturally I gave him a few hundred.

Interview and review are here. (2011)
