Video :: Mr Gresty
Julio & Miles short film: Mr Gresty
Coming from an animation and motion graphics background, they wanted to create something more stripped back. A documentary film about people and their creativity.
The short is a day-in-the-life style film about Mr Gresty. He was the perfect candidate as he is a super talented individual who is motivated beyond belief and has an interesting, and somewhat obsessive, habit of collecting things.
Private view: 1st March 2012, 7pm Picturehouse Hackney.
1st -21st March 2012 (free) Open everyday 11:30am – 11:30pm

Kevin Smith talks about letterpress as a manual process away from the digital Mac driven white paper print out. He likes to get hands on and build things and this wonderful video shows just that.
Video :: 1/1
1/1 is a collection of experiments with letterpress printing. The constructive elements of IKEA® products substitute the traditional wooden printing letters and they become the printing die for limited editions. So can a stool or a door be used to impress their outline railtracks can become typographic, figurative or abstract compositions. The same elements can then be assembled back in the objects they belonged to. By doing so they get back their functionality, but they keep a sign of the printing process, they took part in and become themselves unique industrial products.

The cinematography in the video is awesome. It’s from 2009 but hey, the letterpress process is far older. It makes me want a nice whiskey.
Video :: Typeface
In rural Wisconsin, a lone employee waits in a cavernous old museum for visitors to come. A few individuals straggle in every few days and then, come Friday, the museum fills with life. Machines hum, presses print, artists buzz about. One weekend each month, the quiet of Two Rivers is interrupted as carloads of artisans drive in from across the Midwest. The place comes alive as printmaking workshops led by, and filled with, some of the nation’s top design talent descend on the sleepy enclave.
