Experiment #2 from my new series of explorations into light and sound. This time looking at the satisfying sound of analogue camera mechanisms from 1920’s–1970’s.

There’s something quite beautiful about getting real mechanical feedback when using a camera, something I miss a little bit more every time I take a picture these days. Ironically though, I shot the footage on my phone…

An edited down version of a 2004 personal project into light and memory that I’m thinking of revisiting. Watch this space…

Lovely work from Imaginary Forces for Netflix’s latest cult show ‘Stranger Things’. By pairing 70’s type classics Benguiat (Ed Benguiat) and Avant Garde (Herb Lubalin) they’ve managed to use two of my possible all-time favourite typefaces by two of my type design heroes, and more importantly, made them work.

Inspired by Stephen King novel covers, which the show’s creators Matt and Ross Duffer sent to Imaginary Forces as reference, the sequence fills you with intrigue and unease. Perfectly setting the tone for the show to follow.

I think what I like about it most is the abstract details from Benguiat fading and pulsing throughout the background, showing the beauty of the typeface is in all of its fine details, before effortlessly blending together at the end. This, with the contrast of Avant Garde in the foreground, makes for what can only be described as type porn. Something rarely seen in such a commercial project, but I’m glad it made it through!

A lovely, and darkly comedic stop-frame animation from Dutch Director Nina Gantz telling the tale of ‘Edmond’. Having won awards including a BAFTA for short animation, and the Short Film Jury Award at this year’s Sundance film festival its clear I’m not the only one to appreciate it. The soft, friendly aesthetic, coupled with the dark story of love and cannibalism make it both mesmerising and beautiful.
