Turn off your mind,

relax,

& float downstream…

Try to realize
it’s all within yourself;
no one else can make you change.

YouTube Video of the Day: Georges Méliès - An Up-To-Date Conjuror May 3, 2008

Posted by ~V~ in : Video, YouTube Video of the Day , 1 comment so far

aka L’Impressionniste fin de siècle, 1899

the 'Cinemagician'Georges Méliès (1861–1938)
was a French filmmaker
famous for leading many
technical and narrative
developments in the
earliest cinema.

He was born in Paris,
where his family
manufactured shoes.

He was very innovative
in the use of special effects.
He accidentally discovered the stop trick, or substitution, in 1896, and was one of the first filmmakers to use multiple exposures, time-lapse photography, dissolves, and hand-painted colour in his films.

'Le Voyage dans la Lune' aka 'A Trip to the Moon'Because
of his ability
to seemingly
manipulate and
transform reality
with cinematography,

Méliès is sometimes
referred to as the
“Cinemagician.”

Is it live? Or is it…

Reports that say that something hasn’t happened
are always interesting to me, because as we know,
there are “known knowns”:
there are things we know we know.

We also know there are “known unknowns”: that is to say,
we know there are some things we do not know.

But there are also “unknown unknowns”
the ones we don’t know we don’t know.

KNOWN: music | video | samples

UNKNOWN

Why do i even do this?

i get hundreds of visitors a day @ this site, and people are hotlinking to it
left and right, but no comments, no thanks, no nothin’.

Does anybody out there even like what i’m doing here, or is this site just a source of free music and photos for your LiveJournal or MySpace or Facebook profiles or message board posts to try and help you look cool to your friends?

i’m tired of always sending letters and never getting any back.

i think i’m gonna quit this exercise in futility and delete everything pretty soon, so download all you can while you still can, kids…

i remember when, i remember,
i remember when i lost my mind —
there was something so pleasant about that place…

And i hope that you are having the time of your life.
But think twice
that’s my only advice.
