El Guincho "Bombay" Dir: Nicolas Mendez
Get ready for some NSFW awesomeness. Keep an eye on bombay-themovie.com for more
woo. incredible.
Agreed. This rocked!!!!
Didn't let up for a second; it looked like a trailer for late Bunuel film. I guess it was shot on reversal. But yeah, great images/ideas.
its great, but if i had one criticism, i'd say that after a while, its like being in a moving image version of tumblr, or ffffound, which i know was the criticism levelled at schofield's beck vid, so i don't know, its awesome and at the same time banal.
sexy, i agree with the above comments, especially the tumblr ffffound thing. oversaturation of cool imagery. nicely done tho. thumbs up.
Nice in a non-narrative, pastiche kinda way. 2nd viewing not on the agenda.
well-played(&edited). Talent Alert.
the aesthetic really justifies it imo
Ace. Very sexy too.
wwaouhhh ! super well done !
Ideas from Vivian Sassen+Erwin Wurn+Mc Ginley photos. But very well made in Keith Schofield's beck way.
Well... I think this is a super pretentious video that take inspiration from other artists to take them nowhere. The problem is not to take inspiration from others... as Godard said: “It's not where you take things from—it's where you take them to." Sorry but i don´t think there is talent behind that... You can make similar videos for any song only scrolling on ffffound. Well, I think talent is another thing...
apparently "a trailer for a larger film" (a trailer with an end credits sequence?) more Méndez
Yo Kayser, cheers for the Canada link, my google skills were poor yesterday!
that's because you didn't put an acute accent on the a of Nicolás
a little background (in Spanish but easily understandable): "Nicolás Méndez (Madrid, 1973) estudió historia del arte y fue guionista de televisión entre 1993 y 1999. A partir de 2003 empezó a dedicarse a la realización publicitaria, compaginando esa actividad con la dirección de cortometrajes y videoclips. Es uno de los tres socios fundadores de Canada, una triada de jóvenes realizadores que también incluye a Luis Cerveró y Lope Serrano. De creación reciente y ubicada en Barcelona, la productora desarrolla proyectos para diversos sectores, desde publicidad y moda, hasta videoclips, televisión y eventos culturales."
Well I recognised a bunch of images and ideas from this vid but was thinking that at least some were original, however I was flipping through fffound today and came across this image which made me think that the whole thing is just taken from fffound and tumblr which is exactly like schofields vid.
I liked this video a lot and I am glad it was made but feel a little weird that not only were all the images directly referenced from fffound but that another director had already recently executed this exact same concept.
So is this a double reference? Firstly to the artists / photographers work viewed on fffound, secondly to Keith Schofield?
I mean I've always wanted to do a similar concept for a video but just thought schofield had beat me and I would say a lot of other people to the punch. Why then did 'canada' get away with it?
Oh well, good job I guess.
