Experience Zero Gravity

I remember many years ago I watched a VHS tape of Bodhi and Johnny Utah jumping out of a plane in Point Break and thought it was the best thing i'd ever seen. As a "young whipper snapper," seeing the perceived freedom of a group of surfers flying through the air to a dreamy soundtrack really hit a chord, and somehow made me think that those types of experiences are what makes life great and since then, freefalling videos have held a special place in my heart, especially when done well. 

Experience Zero Gravity is a video by Betty Wants In for InfinityList.com, a central platform for the best cinematic sports videos, about a group of base jumpers hurling themselves off of the most beautiful peaks in Norway, Switzerland and France.

No more to say other than lose yourself in a well made 2 minutes 54 seconds of a dreamy adrenaline fuelled extreme sports video.

Little hand says it's time to rock and roll.

TOKYO SLO-MODE by Alex Lee

Alex Lee, according to his twitter bio, is a "student/filmmaker, based in Japan, moved to NY- working like a dog."

His video TOKYO SLO-MODE is a great film that combine jump cuts with slow motion footage, HDR styling and a killer track by Thom Yorke and Flying Lotus.

Well worth checking out and I look forward to seeing more from Lee in the future.

Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy Posters

Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy is a spy movie based on a 1974 novel by author John Le Carré and stars Gary Oldman and Colin Firth.

To accompany the release of the film, Sir Paul Smith has designed a series of posters that will be signed and available in limited runs for around £100 with all profits going to Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres.

I've always been a fan of minimilist style movies posters that focus on concept rather that the stars and I think these work well.

Tinker Taylor Solder Spy is set to be released on September 16th in the UK and Ireland.
