Oldboy

I watch Repo-Men last week and was extremely pleased with one scene in a corridor. I later found out that this scene had been taken from a film called Oldboy and replicated.

So I went out and bought Oldboy and it was a great piece of cinematography from start to finish from Korean director Chan Wook-Park. I also thought the ending was great and something you totally dont expect. The hole tone of the movie infact leads up to something that surprised me.

ITV World Cup intro


For those of you who watched the world cup over the summer (In my case a very long one) you will seen this exciting intro from the ITV.

This was shown just before the experts did their post match preparations to gear you up before the games. Sadly the world cup in africa wasnt the best. But this intro with its graphics focusing on the continent of africa was beautiful memo for the 2010 world cup.

Jography

I went on a 2 mile jog yesterday and decided to take my camera with me and take some pictures of the different scenery as I was running.

You can see by the pictures the different places a jogged through. from residential areas to dirt paths and football fields. I like how the pictures turned out as you can definetly see a sense of speed and adventure by the motion blur on some of the pictures.

Kaka 3d advert



I love this advert!

Maybe due to the football content. But this advert just sells the new sony 3d hdtv. The advert is shot in 3d just like films such as avatar but obviously you cant watch it on your bog standard tv. This makes you want to go out and buy one of these overpriced tv's straight away so you can watch sport and films in full 3d.

While Kaka is doing his thing it also cuts to different ways you will also experience the full effect of 3d (e.g. motor sport,glass shattering and explosions.) Something I also picked up on was the music used. The use of calming classical music in contrast with all the action going on makes it seem normal to be having things exploding in your face.

Directed by well known director Jonathan Glazer
