So I've finally watched Objectified by Gary Hustwit, the same director from Helvetica. Man, what a mind blowing film. Personally, I absolutely love documentaries, and I would have to say I'm becoming a great fan of Mr, Hustwit.
For those who don't know - and for those who actually care - Objectified is a documentary about design, about the thin and complex relation between objects and life, their impact on our environment and how a well thought and carried object can enhance one's life.
It's also a documentary about designers, how they work, how they mark their objects with their own personal touch. It features lots of iconic designers, including Dieter Rams, Tim Brown and Bill Moggridge (from IDEO; Bill Moggridge actually designed the very first laptop), Naoto Fukasawa and Chris Bangle - who may be one the most intelligent guys I've ever had the pleasure to hear.
I was already smitten by Hustwit's work when I saw Helvetica, but with Objectified, he's on the edge of becoming one of my favorite documentary films director. Both films are part of a three-film “design trilogy” and details on the third one should be released soon (or so I hope!)
I've recently discovered a new passion - typography. It's interesting - I've been so emerged and devoted to editing video and motion graphics, that I've totally neglected my fondness for graphic design. Shame on me. But I'm committed to rectify that. I've been devouring books about typography, watching documentaries on it, studying everything that is humanly possible about the subject. Whenever I find something I enjoy, I tend to obsess about it. Obsessive good, though. Obsessive good.
On another subject, I'm shooting two sets next week. As always, chances of them ever seeing the front page light are probably remote. Heck, I'll give it a try, right?
I'm off to London in November, Casablanca for Christmas with my mom, and Tokyo in February - I'm still dreaming about this one, though. I was next in the waiting list for the Amsterdam trip, but the invitation came one day too late... Shit, I was totally down for hanging out with two dozens of hot chicks in Dam.
Am I the only person who's completely hooked on FlashForward? I saw the 5 episodes yesterday and I'd say I've found something to entertain me until Lost's next and final season comes out!
Ok, this was probably the biggest blog I've ever written. I'll be updating soon. Or in 2010. Hopefully, with these on my feet:
