If you like photography, design, film, or architecture. You owe it to yourself to watch this short movie. Alex Roman is pure genius. The film is entirely CGI save for a few elements like birds and people, but everything is so well integrated and processed so thoroughly it’s easy to forget that it’s all fake. Obviously a few elements have to be CGI, like the floating water and books, but it blew my mind when I found out that everything was fake. I usually pick up on that sort of thing. It took a few viewings after that to pick out the clues that it was fake. They’re subtle, but they’re there.
The Third and the Seventh‘s site reveals more on this though process, and I highly recommend visitting it. To view the movie, click the image below. It’s best viewed in full screen HD. Anything less is a disservice to Roman’s work.

The printed book looks great! No jpeg compression shows in any of the images and the blacks are nice and rich. Each page looks like a post card of sorts, with the full image on the front, and the close up with GPS co-ordinates on the back. Not only that, but the photo I had printed off at the same time also came out fantastically despite not being properly colour corrected for their printers. They bound the book in spite of it not fitting in the machine, so maybe they found some time to colour correct it before print? Either way I feel like I didn’t have a chance to thank them enough. They’re still quite busy so I only got a quick “thanks!” out before they moved one to the next people in line. I doubt they’ll read this, but thanks Carlos and Eduardo!
For those wondering, here’s the photo I had printed. It’s from a different class, but it’s what I’ll be putting in the Foundation Show in the non curated space. The original is 8″x24″.
