Live the Language

Live the language - Los Angeles from EF Intl. Language Centers on Vimeo.

Nice new additions to Live the Language films - giving me itchy feet

Live the language

I have never been so inspired to learn another language before watching this! This video is from a series of commercials for EF International Language Centres. The idea is so simple, but executed so beautifully, I love the colours and the choice of typography. Watch the rest of the series on the EF site.

Black Swan

I finally got to see Black Swan this weekend... and it lived up to expectations. Dark but beautiful. I had been waiting to see it for a little while and it definitely didn't disappoint! Some seriously creepy and unnerving scenes, not what you would initially expect from a film about a subject so elegant and beautiful as ballet. The genius way in which some scenes were shot, made you nervous about things so small as clipping fingernails. The costumes were stunning too, designed by Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte -lucky Miss Portman! (who by the way was absolutely perfect)

note. I will never pick my fingernails again!

War Horse

Its not every day Steven Spielberg comes to your back yard, but a few weeks ago he really did! The filming of War Horse took place in the Bourne Woods, Farnham over a couple of weeks in October, I took a walk there to take a look at the set. This location has also been used for other Hollywood blockbusters such as Gladiator and Robin Hood.

I'm Raving

Well...im raving about this video! Directed by Daniel Wolfe for the track Blind Faith by Chase & Status, this video portrays the rave scene towards the end of the 80's in almost documentary-style detail. I am a big fan of british film, particularly set in this decade by directors such as Danny Boyle, Nick Love and Shane Meadows.
