Dream within a dream within a dream
Imagine. Moonlight streaming down a glamorous city night. The streets are wreathed with a mysterious smoky air. A handsome figure approaches, he turns his head and glances across ....
It could play out like a scene in a movie, and that is exactly how the imagery of the latest batch of Emporio Armani (Fall/Winter) collection looks like. This campaign totally rocks!! Takeshi fits perfectly into the total dreamscape of the ads. I totally want to shop at Armani (who cares for the clothes, I want the poster XD ). The HQ scans are finally coming along, and they are to die for. I could probably go writing one-shots with such great visual inspiration (there are about 4-5 shots), but my Photoshop senses buzzed excitedly as soon as I saw him in the smoke and the dark tones. *Must play with PS*
'Wu Xia' has finally started filming. Anytime now, we maybe be able to get images of the cast clashing swords over the banks of the river in Yunnan. Oh yeah, the biggest thing to have happened in my fandom world since the last LJ post is that Takeshi has taken up a new movie. It's been more than a year, but finally we have a full feature movie to anticipate in 2011. August has been pretty exciting at the forum, since he has got a new gig representing Citizen watches, the Armani stuff, the Lipton CMs (he is just adorable in them all), plus the movie. A movie, a movie ~ finally ~ *shed tears of joy*
On the other side of fandom land, Toma surprised us with a nifty, cool CM for the Final Fantasy XIV game.
Wah, it was really cooool. Like an movie trailer. Beside his big close-up, I quite liked how he walked off at the end (great profile shot, love a good profile shot!) And, with all the clothes and make-up and extras, they should have made it a longer CM. Hee - everything that is good should be longer (as any gorgeous picture should be bigger) ~ in any fandomverse.
Before the CM played, it was an interview with Toma first; and he was sporting the awesome cool hairstyle. I love (with reasons I cannot exactly pinpoint). It gives me reminiscent of the times he's had his hair kinda up in that fashion; Izumi, some parts in Endless Shock, Ningen first press conference - always a nice surprise whenever he does it (but pls no more perms). The CM gives off a more cooler/baddass look perfect for a fantasy game character. I'm not a gamer ~ but if I did, would have to at least start with Onimusha first.
Toma doing another epic movie. It's quite wonderful that the director for Ningen thought he did well enough to collaborate again. Ah, he will probably won't have time to do another butai this year. Oh well, 4 movies in 2 years is nice to us fans.
Switching over to mention my current favourite song ATM. Richie and Dai S (Barbie Hsu) has a duet for their new movie. I really love their voices together with the lovely melody. It's very sweet song. And on a interesting note; I also heard a solo version of just Richie singing the same song; and I do love it as much, or even more than the duet. I guess I like listening to him sing the entire song than every second line. I just line both versions one after another on the playlist, so the song seems extra extra long.
I also have been looping the 'Inception' soundtrack as it's pretty awesome stuff. I loved the movie, and can't wait to get the DVD by the end of the year. I had typed 'inception' into You Tube for related interviews and clips, and saw alot of people creating parodies and mash-up. A recent one titled 'A Capella Re-Dub' is kinda silly although once you realise what is actually going on, it's so funny that you can't stop watching/listening till it's over. One of my personal fave with the use of great editing is a mash-up clip of 'Up' and 'Inception': 'Up-ception'. ^ ^
