wundered across this site and couldnt figure out its point or purpose apart from having groups of photos as the name suggests from “lastnightsparty”. Dont get me wrong, each photo is great and conveys a story whatever that may be – and of course theres celeb spotting to be done. Some web stalking and investigation reveals its the home of…

“Merlin Bronques, an elusive character who has made a boldface name for himself among scenesters on both coasts by photographing bared flesh, provocative outfits and gross exuberance at clubs and private parties.” as the long nytimes article states.

However this project has turned into a fully fledged business for Bronque. Club owners and whatnot pay all his expenses to get him to shoot their clubs/parties. Nice big promo for venue. People check his site to see if they made it in and Bronque gets paid. Sweet deal. Heres a few more links on it below and cobrasnake is a similar concept. and yeah its old news but hey if you end up being involved with Pharell Williams and make a N.E.R.D video based on your rep. well hey. good gig if you can get it.

lastnightsparty.com contains some heavy mature content. dont click while at work. yea, some girls just wanna get naked. and also theres the obligatory hardcover book available.

quick link. this from ux magazine explains it all. no point in me recapping.

Finally a site that captures opening title sequences, provides director commentary where available amongst other notes. Great job boys.

Site of Axel Peemoeller, interactivity is just brilliant.
Click and drag elements around…
Here is one of his projects, signage of sorts in a carpark in melbourne. genius. think it, implement it.

AWG Seminar: How to Blow up a Black Balloon

13-04-2008 “Easily one of the finest Australian films of recent years. A story that’s funny, heart-breaking and packed with dramatic energy.” – Lynden Barber, LIMELIGHT

Elissa Down (writer/director) and Jimmy the Exploder (writer/co-producer) present a detailed guide to the making of their first feature film The Black Balloon. From their early collaboration in Perth, Elissa and Jimmy will give a candid account of how their screen story took shape, from script drafts to casting and production, and on to the prize-winning world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival and the current Australian release. Elissa will also screen rushes from the film set, and discuss her daybook to illuminate the director’s role on a feature shoot. This two hour seminar is a rare opportunity to hear close up how an Australian movie gets made.

Prior to the seminar The Black Balloon will be screened at Cinema Paradiso at 1pm, to book a seat email Alan Payne at wa@awg.com.au with ‘(Your Surname) Black Ballon’ in the subject line.

“The Black Balloon is a confronting, beautifully structured film, brimming with 1980’s nostalgia. Toni Collette is at the top of her game and Luke Ford an absolute revelation.” Sunday Life Magazine
