Two of my favorite films this week that make me wish I could write like these artists paint:
Above: French street-artist team of Supakitch & Koralie have filmed in time-lapse the entire process in the creation of one of their maginificent murals. (DO adjust the screen to full size just so you can see the entire mural close up in the final scene.) Originally the pair met when a bar owner hired both of them (without telling either of them) to paint a mural on his bar -- they both turned up and decided to share the job. In so doing they discovered they discovered they were perfectly matched as artists. There are quite a few videos of the pair working, as well as this charming interview with them.
Below: Another form of street-artists, this time an experimental urban projection in Sao Paolo, Brazil by vjsuave.This is a fantastic romp through the city of San Paolo, our guide a comic flying and swimming figure. It's fast and furious and wonderful. Go here to see how it was created.
(via Emiliano -- who has been posting some fascinating short films on Mexican art well worth checking out.)
