Batman


This is one of the best animated intro sequences from my childhood, i love the imagery and that the narrative completely sums up the content of the program. plus Batmans a bad ass.

Nyle "Let The Beat Build"


Nyle "Let The Beat Build" from Nyle on Vimeo.

This video was apparently filmed in one take, with audio being recorded simultaneously with the film. The video features Nyle (www.nyleraps.com) and is produced by Last Pictures (www.last-pictures.com) and 194 Recordings (www.myspace.com/194recordings)
I love the narrative and the overall mood of this video, the way that "the beat builds" is awesome, and love the use of instruments rather than samples.
The spot lighting captures the mood of a recording studio perfectly and finishes with a low key spot light on the artist, blacking out the rest of the room for a really dramatic finish.
I am also a fan of extended shots in general and always impressed at the ones which work without any flaws, something which is very hard to achieve. If this video was done in one take i am incredibly impressed and the producers should be proud as its clear a lot of planning must have gone into pre-production.
