ADVERTISEMENTS
EVENTSMarc Davis Lecture RECENT BREW TV EPISODES By Sitji Chou. A man tries to understand the futility of creating human connections when they’ve been impeded by the microcosmic void between material particles.  By Nikolas Ilic. A story of a Scottish sheep farmer who shears his sheep and tosses them cliff side…  By Dylan Hayes. Lesson 1: Everyone gambles, not everyone loses. Lesson 2: The world is full of traps. Lesson 3: You cannot win if you don’t take risks.  By Jean Yi. A personal and humorous exploration of being the ‘Nice Girl’ and coming to terms with the label and all its different meanings.

The man sure made incredible things – too bad sometimes the 90 following minutes after his works were forgettable.
wow! nothing but the truth!
AWESOME post Amid. Really interesting find! Everything should be entertaining. And his idea of credits as a prologue is a revelation. That’s great! It’s especially important for animation because every second of animation takes so much time. If you can do the exposition during the credits, that’s a huge load off your back.
Video is down :(
“Video is down :(”
Works fine for me!
This film is also available on the “Short 11 – Ecstasy” DVD:

The DVD also features a short about Charles & Ray Eames.
Thank you for posting this Amid. I’ve been waiting for this to pop up.
Looks like it’s back up again. Great post! Thanks!
I’ve always been impressed in the many different styles Bass worked in – he could go from the quiet poetry of grafitti-on-street-signs (from the end titles of “West Side Story” to the sheer lunacy of “It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World”. He also designed a lot of poster graphics – his most gripping had to be his poster for “The Man with The Golden Arm”.
Thank you. This is wonderful.
Noticed the Pyramid logo at the opening, great little distributor of films some may’ve seen at one point or another at schools, summer camps and TV filler on HBO. Being reminded some of Bass’ logo designs are still used today.
