Visual XpreSsionz

* To update the previous post, I just had to mention that in the realm of visual communication by way of the art of Flash, my favorite artist is Swedish multimedia artist, { Magnus Karlsson.} Though only 22 years old, he has created some very inspirational flash pieces. He is firstly inspired by music from which he then envisions and is able to create his work. I've been an observer of his work for quite a long time. He's made quite a few flash movies from those paying tribute to "flashers" and their ability to defy the limitations and/or constricting rules of traditional web design, to that which celebrates the spirit of Africa. The following are my favorites:

  Africa
  The Revelation
  The Gathering
 The Divinity of Flashers
  Avelon
  A Lifetime of Success

Digital Filmaking

An interesting website I recently came across is { DFILM } which is hailed as "one of the first major showcases of digital filmmaking. " Founded in 1997, the founders have the distinction of "organizing" as its mission statement states, "the first ever screening of digital filmmaking at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in 1999.

According to The Wall Street Journal review of DFILM: "The computer has made us all publishers and broadcasters, so why not filmmakers? As this traveling festival shows, the technology is out there, and it's growing higher in quality and lower in cost every day." The New York Times says "The core of D.FILM's mission is inspiration and empowerment" -

Most interesting is the feature enabled at the Website to allow visitors to create their own movies. You get to choose characters, music, background etc. and enter dialogue to create your film which you can also send as email. I checked it out earlier and found it a lot of fun. If you care to look, { Here } is my own short "small screen epic" as NYT calls it.
