Every once in a while over here at quiteenjoy, we get a little excited about something. It could be a live bee in a bag of salad (less than positive excitement), a picture of a duck wearing a bowler hat (more overwhelmingly joyous than you could possibly imagine), perhaps even a five pence piece on the floor outside the office (invariably glued down so that we can’t retrieve it).
However, all of these things can be surpassed in an instant when something of genuine, raw, outstanding beauty is dropped in our laps…
…and today, that happened. Clicky Clicky, already.
I invite you to view this truly spectacular and heart-wrenchingly emotive video piece by a man I so desperately wish actually was related to me… but sadly, isn’t. Tom Jenkins who is the (deep breath) Producer, Animator, Cameraman, Lighting Operator, Editor and Grader (phew) of this wonderful stop-motion animation, is also co-founder and creative director of The Theory. These guys have an impressive body of work on display where commercial and corporate ventures are concerened, but if this film is anything to go by; they have a deservedly bright future ahead of them. It may very well turn out to be my favourite short film of the year… and, yes, that includes ours.
Bugger.
As we’re all settled here on the internet right now lets take a moment to see some of the top “Memes” that have been invading our dreams for the last 6 years.
If you’ve been itching to put yourself inside the mind of someone on the verge of mental collapse then may I suggest listening to Blue Jam. From the frightening neon nightmare mind of Chris Morris Blue Jam is lunacy…compelling, fascinating lunacy.
It featured the vocal talents of Kevin Eldon, Julia Davis, Mark Heap, David Cann and Amelia Bullmore. Chris Morris reads the deranged monologues.
I listened to it for the first time on my way into work this morning and by the end of it I was completely convinced that the bin at the exit to the tube station was asking for my shoes. It’s very difficult to describe the madness of this radio show. Imagine the most depressive recluse at school giving a 20 Minuit monologue while radio head loose the will to live in the background. They also re-edit broadcasters to make them say odd things: Here is a clip of such a sketch…with the Jam intro just so you can get a flavour of how the rest of the show feels…
I’m coming to the radio show quite late; having watched “Jam” the TV version many years before. I’m happy to see that the madness translates just as well over the audio spectrum as it did the visual. It’s worth digging up just to see what I’m talking about. Can I give you a reference to any particular part that was of note? Not with any confidence I can’t, as you see I’m no longer sure what is the show…and what is my mind.
….in Blue Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam.
I’m not usually a fan of TFL but for this advert I have to applaud them. I discovered it at Oxford Circus underground station this morning.
