Coming Soon…. to a DVD near you…
Many of Blu’s time lapse videos, mural paintings and short animations will be combined into a feature length film called Blu 2010. As much as I like the idea of something like this, I don’t really understand the reasoning behind it since Blu’s work is all viral (and free) anyway. I’m sure some of the never before seen footage may be cool, but I think it is a bit of an easy way to cash in. To be fair though, I have watched his work multiple times and do enjoy it, so I don’t think the concept is a completely terrible idea. I just have mixed feelings about the whole thing…
For your enjoyment, however, are two of my favorite videos by Blu. The first is “Big Bang Big Boom” which attempts to trace the evolution of the world. The second is Blu’s collaboration with David Ellis at 2009’s Fame Festival in Italy, entitled “Combo.”
