Costume design


Hi Folks!

Back to a new post, still talking about Télencephale, at least until I put it at internet to open view.

Before start talking about this week post I'd like to thank all the people that came to the prémiére at FEMIS. I'm pretty happy with the amount of friends that came to see the film and give their support.

Today the subject is the costume design. I designed this style guide of the characters of the film to start the research for costums. With such a low buget (80 euros for the set design and 0 to costume design!) it wasn't my idea to have the same exact render during the film, but I confess that I was happly surprised with the proxymiti of the final results.

My special thanks to Salomé Osorio that gently lended us some of her beautiful bijoux (site here), to Lola Lembrez that contributed not only to the costume, but also with all the set design, and thanks again Avril!

Télencéphale is on!


Back from two isolated months in Côte d'Azur i'm full of news.

And its with a great dose of happiness that I come in this post to announce: Télencéphale is having next tuesday, september 7 its prémiére.

This is the very first exibithion of the film (clip) in his 16mm version. And as it wasn't enough is at the same day of my birthday! Yes, an exact year after having my femis entrance at the day of my birthday, i'm having my film exhibited at the same day, too many reasons to celebrate.

I made a preview poster for the ocasion...

For those ones that would like to know the music of the clip there is a good indication: The webpage of Jaycee. There you'll find the song Télencéphale, theme of the clip and base of inspiration for its screenplay.

Soon some more news!

Playback

Today, nothing but text.

During my days of research for my videoclip I met Andrew (thanks Begon!), that became my personal assistant for the movie. More than this, he became a good friend that's pretty cool besides being interested in the production of this film.He lent me a book, Playback, that's the catalog of a namesake exposition at Paris MAM (Museum of Modern Art).In this book I found the best definition of a videoclip I've ever seen till now. It's an article from Anne Dressen, trustee of "Playback" exposition. I would like to share this with you:

"Plus qu'une simple radio visuelle, le clip est schizophrène: couple à trois liant son, images et paroles, écartelé dans une relation incestueuse et adultère avec le cinéma et la publicité, oscillant entre soumission et insolence, trop long pour une publicité, trop court pour un film, trop vendu pour de l'art..."

"More than a simple visual radio, the videoclip is schizophrenic: a couple of three that links sound, images and words, quartered in a incestuous and adulterous relationship with cinema and advertising, swinging between submission and insolence, too long to be advertising, too short to be a film, too bribed to be art..."

Fuck the limits, concept rules.

See ya...
