I’ve been on something of a black & white kick lately, with regards to my photography. So here’s a lovely portrait of the much beloved runt of the family. ;D

Been up all night, writing, filming, editing…it’s almost as if I were a real filmmaker, or something. ;)

Honestly, nothing gets me more in the mood to write than Daft Punk’s brilliant “Tron: Legacy” score. So spine-tingling good. 

For those of you who haven’t heard already, I’m in the middle of a re-branding, as Darkblade Media just doesn’t fit anymore…so out with the old, in with the new! Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Going to be posting some very interesting stuff on all three, very soon.

Saw this the other day. Not only was it surprisingly funny at times, something I wasn’t expecting, but it completely lived up to the heart-breaking emotions evoked by it’s trailers. A dynamite film, with an amazing lead performance by Fassbender. Such a brilliant little flick.

Powell Stanfield - Melodrama

Powell’s work tends to mystify me. 

For those of you who don’t know, my brother Powell is an incredible musician, who dabbles in creating mainly techno music, mostly for the fun of it. He provided the score for the Ignoring the World Teaser Trailer, as well as a good majority of the film’s soundtrack thus far. 

He’s made five (yes, five) full albums of this stuff so far, and lot of it is shockingly inspired. He’s got everything from toe-tapping, up-lifting beats like the track Broadway, all the way down to darker, more sinister sounding pieces like Cruel Ghosts (both of which are featured on his latest compilation, Egos). All of it’s good, and a lot of it fits perfectly with the tone I’m trying to set for “ITW”. 

And then he has tracks like Melodrama

I don’t exactly know how to explain it, but whenever he plays a track for me like Melodrama, or Dramatic Changes, which I’ve posted here on Tumblr previously, I become insanely inspired. They’re tracks unlike anything I’ve ever heard before, and they evoke a kind of other-worldly imagery that I’m finding particularly difficult to define. They’re songs that have inspired so much of the film’s look so far, that I can’t help but think about it when I listen to them. They are powerful, masterfully well-crafted pieces of sound that I can’t stop listening to. 

So today, on a rather dreary and boring Sunday, in which I’ve accomplished little of what I hoped I would, I thought I would share this track with you. Give you something to enjoy listening to while you continue scrolling through the dashboard, looking at the various BroTips and hipsterish images that have found their way into your feed. Enjoy. ;)

Ignoring the World, a short film trailer by Palmer Stanfield.

Palmer is a 15-year old filmmaker who’s showing some tremendous promise with his trailer. I love it when readers send me stuff like this - it shows that film creation has truly been democratized by the advents of technology. Palmer’s work shows a tremendous potential for depth and emotion, and I look forward to seeing what he does with it!
