DA Pennebakers - Daybreak Express - Click for link and watch videoA brisk little film, beautifully photographed, around the 3rd Avenue Elevated railway in New York. Apparently it was due for demolition so Mr Pennebaker immortalised it in this film. We see lots of stark monumental railway architecture silhouetted against the morning skies, 1950's commuters in trilby hats and overcoats, and swirling images as the trains plunge into central New York. A good experiment with technique, a great soundtrack, and now a great piece of nostalgia.
This refers to my studies into syncronsing visuals and audio together, text painting and mickey mousing for the D & AD MTV brief. Also now is a great example of nostalgia for my dissertation...
