despite tomato’s brave attempts to save the multinational GM corporation through creativity alone, it looks like our efforts may have been made too late!
Two new tv spots built entirely from CG elements. the car shots, although computer generated draw from precise live action sequences, lit and shot as if to use in the final edit. Tracking, lighting and camera moves were all processed so that we could integrate the vehicle into each scene.
Archive footage of Richard Nobel and Børg Ousland, both pioneering characters, appear on the projection screens made of light that float above the car. The films are modular, allowing any celebrity to be dropped into the projection layers in future cuts.
MELBOURNE MUSEUM OF PRINTING . 21/05/2009 . john
Melbourne Museum of Printing (MMOP) is a working museum (more accurately
a ‘treasure house’) of typography and printing. Since 1993 it has focused
on the retention of traditional printing methods and equipment. Initially
established as the Australian Type Company; containing a comprehensive
collection of printing presses, typesetting machines, types and other
print-related artefacts in addition to its Monotype-based typecasting
machines and matrix collection. In due course, it became the last remaining
typefoundry in Australia and should, by commercial norms, have closed
in the early 1990’s when proprietor Michael Isaachsen turned the whole
collection into a non-profit museum. Michael has carried on where many
would given up but has now run into financial difficulties and the museum
is threatened with closure and its irreplaceable collection forever lost.
To get over its immediate problem and to help pave a way to a sustainable
future a show/event was organised where 20 of Melbourne’s Graphic Designers/
Typographers/Artists each made a set of 20 prints as a fund raiser for
the Museum. In this electronically-dominated era the art of letterpress
and print is threatened and so it’s important/imperative that places
such as this survive and indeed flourish – not only as an historical
‘curio’ but as a living and viable means of expression. The sheer physical
enjoyment of making a print is shared not only by ‘professionals’ but by
the many schoolchildren that come along on ‘educational’ trips to the museum.
