Objectified

The Red News 02 went out last night. If you want to get all of the behind the scenes juicy details, you can still sign-up in in the right hand column. Here are some thoughts on the movie: Objectified by Gary Hustwit.

This past weekend I Netflixed a movie called Objectified. It’s a documentary by Gary Hustwit, who also directed Helvetica (the documentary about a typeface). The movie explores how manufactured objects that surround us such as cars, phones and chairs influence our daily lives. Objectified features top industrial designers discussing their creative processes. Here’s the clip of Jonathan Ive, Senior VP of Industrial Design at Apple. It was the teaser that turned on to the movie.

You get a glimpse of the feel of the movie from this clip. It’s beautifully shot, but if you’re not into the design, and specifically the process of designing products, I can’t fully endorse it for you. But for a creative/designer/photographer it was quite inspiring.  Here are some still shots from the film.

    I’m a polaroid camera! Something about being a social butterfly, having a bunch friends and being close to my family.
