M83

I used some of their music for a couple of older pieces I did, and promptly forgot about them. I really like the stuff that almost looks like a landscape, but you realize it's just pins and lights or something. Put a spaceship in the middle of that, and you'd have a cool little cheap effect.

Want to mix the skinhead look with other warrior looks. These are on the right track. I like the idea behind skinhead dress, built for urban combat. Short hair, form-fitting clothes, and big-assed head stomping boots. Can't say I get how suspenders figures into that, but it looks cool.




Some of the imagery in this is great.

This video discusses Jay-Z's debut masterpiece Reasonable Doubt in detail. Some of the things he discusses in the interview about the album, specifically with "Can I Live" and "Dead Presidents", are themes we're working with in the film. We're using the 80s, Reagan-era crack epidemic as a main reference for the drug, and Jay-Z talks about a lot of the mentality and the real fears and feelings and problems that comes from all of that. Shit's genius.

Cycle 2 Inspiration #5

In the film, there's the outside world the characters physically inhabit, and then there's the interior drug stupor/world they enter. The outside world is being reclaimed by nature. Everyone's on the drug, and people aren't really around anymore (or in any shape to do any landscaping), so nature is taking the city back. Green and grey as the color pallet for these sequences.





This contrasts visually as well with the drug world, which I'm thinking of as an internal, visceral place. Reds and blues for blood and insides. Also sex and smut (red lights) and evil science and chemistry (blue, cold) vs. the outside natural green and concrete world.

There's also an idea we're working with of jerry-rigged weapons. Started looking at prison weapons for inspiration, but want our weapons on a bigger scale. Really enjoy the ingenuity and nastiness that goes into thinking up these weapons, though.
