forgotten and loved playgrounds of the world.

Playgrounds are great.  I have been gathering photographs of some of the bizarre playgrounds for a while from all over the net,  but mainly from hyperallergic.
There are so many projects that look into capturing the disappearing playgrounds.
One project that I have been drawn to is The Playground Project by  Xavier Salle (Author), Vincent Romagny (Author), Sreejata Roy (Author), Gabriela Burkhalter (Editor, Introduction). You can buy the book from amazon, the link is below.

colour in film

happy weekend everyone.

Check out the twitter account, cinema palettes! it is worth it i promise. they take screenshots from some great classic films and translate it into a ten part colour palettes.

If you have ever been to the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne (ACMI), well, it is similar to their Colour Wheel Game.

Colour Palettes and the Colour Wheel Game attempt to capture the overall mood of a film’s scene.  For example, the somber blue hues of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, or the harsh umbers of Mad Max: Fury Road.

It shows how colour is vital “in terms of on-screen aesthetics and symbolism” and more so it is just fun.

enjoy looking at colour palettes images, but if you find yourself in melbourne, australia go check out ACMI because believe me it will blow your mind.
