A hypnotic clip (actually a teaser for an upcoming video for ‘Sparkles and Wine’ by French electronica group OPALE) in which director Nacho Guzman shows how lighting and the angle of illumination can radically affect how a face appears, in this case the face of actress Stella Stocker.
Guzman acknowleges the influence of French director Henri-Georges Clouzot’s unfinished 1964 film L’Enfer.
Using nothing more than black and white eye pencil and eyeliner, black eyeshadow, some colouring, and – yes – a little bit of Photoshop (to remove pesky eyes and mouth) – Verauko goes full Silent Hill with the facepaint.
Steady on.
Remember Lithuanian photographer Tadao Cerniasuska’s ‘Blow Job’ photo series with people taking gale force winds to the face?
Well now there’s a video.
Grow A Face is a random face generator. You chose one of eight faces, generating a new selection of faces ‘mutated’ from your selection.
Another choice, another selection, and so on.
3D projection mapping – normally associated with large scale architectural displays – is perhaps even more effective on a smaller scale. Here, in a promo for their new dual SIM smartphone, Samsung Portugal engaged Lisbon agency Excentric to use the human face and upper body as a canvas.
For your consideration, further to yesterday’s post and for the Movember that’s in it:
The Tumblr known as Moustair
Their motto:
Where men meets moustaches meets hair meets moustaches meets hair meets MOUSTAIR.
