Design Storytelling

Mickey Smith has an amazing poetic economy with words. So I am not going to say much about this, except please watch and listen.

Thanks to Mickey for blowing us all away with honest passion in the Do Lectures tent last week.

Interestingly, Mickey’s film sits beautifully alongside one by American surf photographer Chris Burkard that I posted recently.

This is a gorgeous, sumptuous and, dare I say it, rather majestic animated film on photography and architecture. Revel in these extraordinary colours, spaces, structures and the amazing light. It blew my tiny mind and then made me a bit weepy. Thanks to @alexhaw for sharing.

You are under strict instructions to full screen it when watching - nothing less will do.

The Third & The Seventh by Alex Roman

Here’s an interview with Roman on Motionographer from 2009 about his film.

“I think architecture is sculpting with light most of the time. There’s neither volume nor colors and materials without light and shadow.

Like Kahn said once: ‘In the old buildings, the columns were an expression of light. Light, no light, light, no light, light, you see…’”
