Trailer Park: Kon-Tiki

Film based on the adventures of explorer Thor Heyderdahl who was so convinced that Polynesian people had sailed the Pacific before Europeans that he built his own balsa wood raft Kon-Tiki and sailed off on a 8000 km trip with a tiny crew for 101 days. No sat-nav, no iPod. Loved the idea of this guy when I was a kid

Promo Promo: Wooderson is back in business

Dazed and Confused legend Wooderson is back in business, for this promo for the Butch Walker and the Black Widow's track - Synthesizers. Quite the coup.

He's looking a little out of shape since his epic slow-motion entrance to Hurricane, but it's good to have him back. I get older ....he stays the same age.

Saul Bass Video Pitch for Bell Systems

Have a look at this fascinating video made by Saul Bass in the 1970's, as his pitch to redesign the identity of Bell System ....now AT&T.

The first half is all about identity design, the second half is the actual pitch. Amazing that anyone was making a video pitch in the 1970s.

Via Brand New.

From the AT&T Archives:

Bass' work in logo design and movie title credit sequences spanned the latter half of the 20th century, with prominent work in each field. He worked closely with AT&T, designing not only the 1970 "bell" logo that was ubiquitous for a decade, but also, upon the divestiture of AT&T, he designed the original "death star" logo, unveiled in 1984.

One reason for this bell logo's ubiquity? That redesign was the largest corporate re-identity program in the U.S., ever. The redesign covered:

* 135,000 Bell system vehicles
* 22,000 buildings
* 1,250,000 phone booths
* 170,000,000 telephone directories

This film was made by his company as a presentation to AT&T executives. It would have extended to be shown to the public, but a number of his ideas in the film were not ultimately adopted, like his phone booth designs, and men's and women's uniforms. But a great many were—including, most memorably, the telephone vans and hardhat designs of the 1970s. He designed down to the details, showcasing in this film a myriad of ideas, right down to the yellow pages book designs, cufflinks for executives, and flags.

Bass' other very recognizable logo designs that persist today include those for Minolta, Girl Scouts of America, Avery International, Geffen Records, Warner Int'l, and many more. Bass' design for AT&T was the foundation for the logo that the company has today, redesigned in 2005 by Interbrand.

Produced by Saul Bass

Promo Promo: Girls

Just stumbled accross these two old promos for Girls: Hellhole Ratrace and Lust For Life. Both provide a peek into Girls' world (so to speak) and it's exactly what I expected.

Trailer Park: Dragon Tattoo - 8 Min Version

8 minute trailer for Fincher's Girl With The Dragon Tattoo remake. Makes more sense, but is less cool than the Immigrant Song-infested power cut.

Themes For An Imaginary Film (That In No Way Would Be Called Drive)

Symmetry (aka Johnny Jewel, Glass Candy, Chromatics, Desire and Mirage) have released a two-hour album (iTunes / Soundcloud) of tracks from an "imaginary soundtrack" (ie the stuff Drive probably didn't want, as Pitchfork hints). Same highways John Carpenter and Giorgio Moroder once drove...

Here's that Prometheus trailer. Looks good to me ....and not the same as the shakey-cam bootleg, which must have been an earlier edit or something.
