Meet The Master Of Miniature Worlds

The outstanding and painstaking work by this French miniaturist is mind blowing. Most impressive!

Who Stole the Children's Dreams?

"Who stole the child's dreams? Krank, in his evil schemes. But the happy tale had a sting in it's tail. The genius has a fit of pique, hear the genius shriek, the "genius" is up a creek."

The Song of Roland

"The lord and King of France, Charles the Great
Has spent seven long years fighting Spain.
He has conquered the highlands and the plain.
Before him not a single fort remains,
No town or city wall for him to break,
But Saragossa, on a high mountain
Ruled by King Marsilly the Saracen.
He serves Mohamed, to Apollo prays,
But even there he never will be safe."

The Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follett

Notre-Dame de Paris built from Cardstock and Foam-core

The book nook is a model constructed from cardstock and foam core that depicts the "Notre-Dame de Paris". The video steps through the process of building of this "perfect illusion".

The City of Lost Children

The City of Lost Children is full with quirky and eccentric characters. A mad doctor, a geniuses brain in a fish tank, a circus strong man, a troop of wayward children, a sect of blindmen, 7 clones, little-people, a junky with his flies that go around with micro-sized hypodermics hyperdermics, and a set of indentical twin witches that are cojoined at the foot.

I am not sure there is a plot, but the film is a madcap romp through the lens of the camera. The film is a videographer playground with so many rich shots that exude color and texture. The vidographers approuch reminds me of my days shooting with a lomo camera..

“- Krank: Irvin, you know all about feelings. Won't you try to help me? Won't you explain why all those children only have nightmares?

- L'oncle Irvin: Because you are their nightmare. You could persecute all the children in the world, but there's one thing you'll never have.

- Krank: What?

- L'oncle Irvin: A soul.”.
