Ohhh no, I can’t believe he’s died!!! Although I didn’t keep up with Corey Haim’s career as he grew older, I’m still saddened by his death. When I hear his name I still remember him from the 80s. It’s like part of my childhood has passed away too.
I remember when my uncle had a huge bootleg VHS collection and License to Drive (1988) was one of my favorite movies and I would watch it repeatedly during summer breaks. To a lesser degree I also enjoyed Silver Bullet (1985), The Lost Boys (1987), and shamefully Fast Getaway (1991). Looking back, I think I probably had a crush on him.
Show me the night!!! Yeah, I’ve been loving this song by electro-rock duo Jump Jump Dance Dance! And then come to find out there’s a music video? A well executed music video directed by Claire Carré of Partizan? I need to keep on top of my game; this one almost crept by me.
Jeeze yall’ i’ve never had so much fun putting together a mix before. Searching for tracks was the easy part this time around; narrowing them down to 10? Very difficult… it’s like they were all Fire. I guess it’s just that time of the year again; everyone’s ready to put winter to bed, set fire to the sky, and dance their way through summer’s end. Very well, so be it!
This video is pretty on the mark if I do say so myself. My favorite elements were the projection mappings, they definitely put this over the top. Animation on it’s own doesn’t excite me much… but when it’s done well I can really appreciate it! I am, however, a big fan of geometrics, especially when set to bomb ass electronic music. I dabbled with visuals & projections a while back but never could commit myself; Too tedious! And the stuff I was attempting had nothing on this! Watch the making of this video you’ll see what I mean.
I can’t say i like this video… i can’t say i dislike it either. This is just one of those “not my cup o’ tea” instances. It’s a little different so I think it’s worth a mention. Maybe you’ll like it.
