Your Friday Night Rogue Video is one that I wish was much longer than it is.

The more I watch this video, the more I see, and the more I like it. Most striking is the use of color as a defining aspect of the story. Frenetic in pace, the backgrounds are complex and impossible to take in on one viewing. A fun and colorful romp and worth watching a few times.

… I’m changing the theme and am trying my best not to break the blog in the process.
The narrowness of the theme I’ve been using for the last couple years makes the video size fairly small and, as the majority of the posts are videos, it is well past time I did something about that.
So don’t be alarmed if you see things get moved or go missing (as long as it’s not the posts that disappear. in that case a good panic is called for), I’m still messing about but hope to have things nailed together by the end of the weekend at the latest.

Directed by Tim Ollive with long-time collaborator and Consulting Director Terry Gilliam. The film also has it’s own website.
On the eve of the first flight to the moon, an astronaut ponders his ordinary-sounding name.
Released in 1962, it was set in the near future – August 22nd, 1970 – which ended up being about a year from when man actually landed on the moon.
