German camera manufacturer, Leica, has launched a new camera retailing at over $7,000. What's the catch? The Leica M-Monochrom shoots only in black and white. To launch this new camera and its unique limitation, they created a captivating and abstract black and white video that asks viewers to "Free yourself from colors."

The voiceover invites us to think of color as the enemy because it leaves no room for imagination:

"In the colored world, there is no space for dreams. Or revery. The colors order. The eyes obey. A serious and predictable cell with silver bars. Imagination's death row."

Not only is this a compelling ad for a rather expensive black and white camera, but it gets me thinking about the best way to stand out in our over-saturated world. Perhaps less really is more.

Introducing Feud 

By Evan Cole

A great television show can be enhanced by an incredible titling sequence, and Feud, which airs Sundays on FX, is a perfect example. Referencing 1960s Saul Bass illustrations, the opener of Feud explains the core plot of the film Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, starring Hollywood icons Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Symbols of rivalry, jealousy, and sorrow animate across the screen, replicating the suspense and horror of the film. But a deeper look reveals the opener is more about the tempestuous relationship between the two lead actresses off-screen, amplified by a sexist industry eager to keep them adversaries. In the sequence, you see the tension and you can feel the pain. Pain is what truly drives the show. The pain of aging, the pain of stardom, and the pain of being a woman in an industry where men call all the shots. The titling sequence for Feud captures all of this emotion and symbolism so simply and beautifully. Saul would be proud.

Posters by Jay Shaw (Nonsense!)

by Nigel Dennis

Been a huge fan of his work for some time now. Lots of work around the horror film genre here, but some interesting stuff all around. Feels oddly fresh and familiar at the same time. Good stuff.
