Tyrsa This Eerily Beautiful Dystopian Short Film, Shot by Chris Doyle, Will Leave You Wanting More In the past two years, I have written about quite a few cinematographers. Of that hefty group, few have stolen my heart quite like Hong Kong-based DP Christopher Doyle, whose cinematographic work with legendary director Wong Kar Wai will go down as some of the best in history. A new Doyle-shot short film just so happens to be making its way around the web, and, as you might expect, it looks absolutely fantastic. The film is called The Sand Storm. Directed by Jason Wishnow, the short is a self-proclaimed "lo-fi sci-fi" look at a nearby dystopian future in which society is facing rampant water shortages and where technology is as much of a hinderance as it is an asset. Take a look: Although the story and the structure of the film are a bit of a mess, Wishnow, Doyle, and the production design/art direction team absolutely nailed it in terms of creating a viably dystopian sense of time and place.
Expérience utilisateur et design des apps mobiles : comment ne pas se tromper - Café Numérique 4.89/5 ( 98% )based on 9 ratings Lors de l’App Strategy Workshop le 25 septembre dernier à Paris, j’ai eu le plaisir d’animer une table ronde sur l’expérience utilisateur des applications mobiles, à laquelle ont participé Vincent Roussilhon de Blablacar, Louis Rouffineau de La Company, Edouard Andrieu du Monde.fr, et Moritz Daan de Soundcloud. Ces spécialistes, en charge du Product Management dans leur entreprise et passionnés d’UX et d’UI ont partagé beaucoup de points de vue intéressants sur les dernières tendances du marché en terme d’expérience utilisateur et de design. Flat Design : Est-ce toujours une bonne idée ? C’est LA tendance actuelle en terme de design, particulièrement sur mobile, popularisée par Apple, puis par Google et par Microsoft, dans des versions aux esprits à la fois proches et éloignés. A gauche, l’effet « carnet à spirales » de l’appli Notes sur iOS. Place au minimalisme et aux aplats de couleur, aux interfaces « clean » et élégantes. Swipe, slide, Tap & Hold

How Terrence Malick Wins at Existential Voiceover Narration Terrence Malick is a polarizing figure in the filmmaking world. Some laud him for his existential and introspective style of filmmaking, while others decry his recent films for lacking in narrative substance. Whatever your take on Malick, it's hard to deny that the man has a distinctive style that is uniquely his own. His films are often overflowing with gorgeous photography of the natural world, characters battling personal and existential crises, and of course, copious amounts of voiceover narration. In a recent video essay, Scott Tobias and Kevin B. Voiceovers have long been a tool employed by filmmakers in order to bridge gaps in the narrative or to take us inside the head of a certain character. Instead, Malick uses the voiceover in order to give voice to the internal struggles and existential dilemmas of his characters. Are you a fan of Malick and his use of voiceovers?
