Helvetica.

I really enjoyed this move, even though I have already seen it about three to four times prior. Each time I watch Helvetica I catch little parts of the movie I missed before. The first time I saw Helvetica was about a year, maybe a year-and-a-half ago, and I was so astonished by how commonly used the font is. My questioning to it, was would anyone use a font so common? Wouldn't they what their business to have a font/logo to stick out from all the rest? I just find it really puzzling in that matter. But after seeing the movie, I am more aware of the different fonts and characters used in logos. I think logos really make the business, a logo that really sticks out to me are ones done in a handwritten type style. Some thing that is clean cut and very elegant. But, I still think we need Helvetica, a straight forward uniform font.

Decasia - The State of Decay

I am completely in love with Decasia by Bill Morrision. The movie has great movement and flow. I feel Morrison is breaking new ground with using ruined film. I have never heard of someone using old decaying film reels to create films, only people printing old ruined photography film. I had the chance to meet Morrison on Thursday, September 30th, and upon that visit he informed me that when he was making Decasia all of the music was made before the movie was even made. Morrision chose all the scenes in Decasia to fit perfectly to the composed music. Once I found that aspect out, I was more than impressed. Bill Morrison really created a successful film, and I cannot wait to he releases more films like this.
