Enjoyed the art direction. Wished the lead singer wore red lipstick with gold eye-glitter instead though.
“Menilmontant,” a silent movie made in 1924 by Dmitri Kirsanov
I have a special affinity for silent films. Asagaya’s Laputa Theatre and the National Film Theatre in Ginza always ran interesting pieces.
“Baby I’m Yours” from Breakbot
The art was done by watercolor, all by hand. Can’t even imagine how many hours that would take for one person to do! I’m sure this video was made by a more-than-one-person design team though.

Promotional video created, filmed, and edited by Teng Lee for the group TruthTellers -a collective of Hmong American artists ranging from spoken word poets, musicians, singers, comedians, and theatre artists offering a perspective into marginalized communities and voices that aren’t represented in the mainstream.
Given only a week to produce this and with no budget, I think he did an excellent job. You can find other works from Teng Lee at digitalteng[dot]com.
Another video my brother shot and edited using stone-age technology.

A Family Portrait from 59 Productions Film
Persona by Ingmar Bergman
Morris left for Napa Valley and began working on the film that would become his first feature, Gates of Heaven. In 1978 when the film premiered, Werner Herzog cooked and publicly ate his shoe, an event later incorporated into a short documentary by Les Blank. Herzog had promised to eat his shoe if Morris completed the project, to challenge and encourage Morris, whom Herzog perceived as incapable of following up on the projects he conceived. At the public shoe-eating, Herzog suggested that he hoped the act would serve to encourage anyone having difficulty bringing a project to fruition.
