When Wes Anderson’s take on four of Roald Dahl’s short stories appeared, I devoured them in one sitting.
Fresh, unique delivery, with great storytelling.
It seems someone at Montblanc was thinking along similar lines.
Such great storytelling.
I don’t need an advert to encourage me to buy chocolate.
I love the stuff.
I post this as an example (and a reminder to myself)
of really good storytelling.
It’s only a minute long.
It pokes at your curiosity
and pulls at your heart strings.
Not just for Motor Rollers.
My friend Anup asked me for a film recommendation.
“Ford vs Ferrari,” I said.
So,
if you’re looking for a film recommendation,
you don’t have to.
That’s all folks.
Cue the music.
ps.
If you’re thinking
“Wait a sec, isn’t that film called something else?!”
You’d be right.
Depending on which country you’re in,
it’s also called Le Mans 66.
pps.

“Have you noticed?”
The reflections in storylines.
There’s a point,
when your minds wide open,
to the world around you,
and patterns appear.
Especially when the things
you’ve been studying,
keep appearing.
As if they’re asking the question.
Ever since I started researching story structure – Joseph Campbell, Christopher Vogler, Dan Harmon etc etc – there’s a beautifully simple sense of joy when I notice elements of the structure play out in a film I’m watching, or a book I’m reading.
Knowing the structure of something,
recognising elements of detail,
allows you to appreciate a product
a little more.
Noticing the reflection
of the beginning,
in the ending,
brings a smile.
As if they’re asking the question.

Alex Kilbee, AKA The Photographic Eye, recently shared some fascinating insights in to the work of photographer William Klein.
In the last few days I listened to a wonderful conversation between Malcolm Gladwell and David Epstein at the 92Y – talking about his book RANGE – which is about how generalists succeed in a specialised world. And how, if we experiment in lots of things earlier in our lives, we have a greater breadth of experience to bring to our specialism later on.
So it was interesting to see the parallels across mediums of creativity – how Klein explored the breadth of his range – initially interested in abstract painting and sculpture, to a career behind the camera; from photojournalism to fashion photography, from documentary to feature film making.

The upholstery fabric BMW developed for their iNEXT concept car a few years ago has me wondering how fabric can play a part in storytelling.
