These pics are by Tokyo-based photographer/graphic designer Ruben Frosali from ReallyJapan (you can check out his blog here too. An absolute natural. Ruben is able to capture the grittier side of Tokyo - and Hong Kong for that matter. He's recently been sharpening his photoshop skills adding bits and pieces to make some cyberpunk-esk shots.
My mate, Hiro, aka Yokohama Coyote is a music video director doing cool stuff with his Canon XL that he runs around Tokyo shooting clips, guerilla-style, with. He was asked by a video company to come onboard as an AD. He promptly said goodbye. He's now working on a short film project, the result of which I'm very keen to see.
Here's the live cut up video I did for the Made in Glitch party at Legato last year. Edit from the Glitch Mob, Mattb and Betamaxnomates from Made in Glitch, Broken Haze and OQTO Teevza...
F&%king fantastic party. Nuff said - well maybe a bit more - check out the video.
Some very cool stuff coming out of Tokyo at the moment...
These two artists Broken Haze and Joga coming out of the IDM scene have teamed up to form Mad Smack, a glitch hop outfit, remixing their own tracks and some more well-known RnB and hip hop tracks. Check out their MySpace page here.
Well, it was one of the more painful episodes... The Bust-a-capacitor clip that put me in debt for a year and then was almost completed... before my lead 3D animator bailed. That was after maybe 13 artists bailing during the course of the post production. We still managed to get some nice shots out of it. But it's not a completed clip is it...
I really am resurrecting it this time. I promise. And to prove it I'm going to be realistic by writing two lines and then posting a pic. Everybody check out this piece created by Phil Couzens at FreeSoulDesign
