New Woolf + Lapin Collaborator: Barry Russell and His Photographic Installation

If you don’t know already, Woolf + Lapin is a true fan of street art.

Under all its guises.

Well, new Woolf + Lapin collaborator Barry Russell really hits the mark with his installation People You Might Know, un portrait Montréalais.

The installation showcases 21 photographs of anonymous Montreal artists.

The photographs are pasted in situ across the city’s most unlikely spots, overtaking if not altogether improving an otherwise drab city panorama.

Barry Russell is a DOP and photographer .

Woolf + Lapin is happy to welcome him. And looking forward to collaborating on upcoming projects.

Woolf + Lapin Likes Early Buzz About Disney’s Animated Short: Paperman

Here’s an interview with first-time director John Kahrs.

He discusses the impetus of his apparently groundbreaking animation short: missed connections.

According to slashfilm.com, the film introduces “a groundbreaking technique that seamlessly merges computer-generated and hand-drawn animation techniques. First-time director John Kahrs takes the art of animation in a bold new direction with “Paperman.” Using a minimalist black-and-white style, the short follows the story of a lonely young man in mid-century New York City, whose destiny takes an unexpected turn after a chance meeting with a beautiful woman on his morning commute.”

Disney employees have tweeted the film and some go so far as to claim it’s “the dawn of a new age in animation.”

The short is scheduled to premiere in theaters with Wreck-It Ralph this November.

Un gros bravo à Danièle Desnoyers, ses interprètes (tous radieux et magiques, vraiment) et collaborateurs.

La pièce est présentée au Festival Transamériques 2012 (2, 3 et 4 juin, Usine C).
