Happy Friday: Star Wars Halloween at the Church

Video: A Look at Nigo's Collection

Nigo is known for being a music producer, DJ, the creator of the urban clothing line A Bathing Ape, and an Über collector. In the two videos below we get a peek at some of his collection from footage collected in 2008 and what it has grown to now in 2012. It’s funny to hear Nigo say that he’s actually not the biggest fan of Star Wars, I think he might be in denial considering the magnitude and care he’s put into it as seen in first clip. 

The Second video shares a wider range of his collection from Beatles memorabilia to guitars and cars all housed in a space he calls The Treasury.  It’s a shame the videos don't share his KAWS collection which of course is considered to be one of the best in the world if not the best but there is a large Kimpsons piece hanging on the wall in his living room that is easily spotted.

Video: "Raiding the Lost Ark" filmumentary

Jamie Benning has been creating what he calls "filmumentaries" which is kind of like a visual directors commentary that runs along a film while the movie is playing.  He splices in notes, deleted scenes, b-roll footage, audio clips (from interviews/radio), photos, mock-up art, basically anything to give the ultimate behind the-scenes experience.  His films are not "official" or sanctioned by the creators but have gotten such as buzz that they have almost been given a pass.  He previously had his films posted in parts on Youtube in parts but they kept getting pulled and due to their popularity he has been able to host them on Vimeo in their full HD glory.

Benning spent years completing filmumentaries for the Star Wars trilogy (Star Wars Begins, Building an Empire, & Returning to Jedi) and recently completed Raiding the Lost Ark, a film looking into the first Indiana Jones movie.  All of his films are quite long, usually over 2 hours but well worth the watch if you are true fans.

Currently he is working on Behind Jaws, which is pretty self explanatory but be sure to check out his site to see more on his process and updates on his films.

 

Drink this: Stars Wars x Evian

If you need a last minute Christmas gift idea for a Star Wars fan, these are the droids you're looking for.  Evian and the Star Wars franchise combine forces to create light saber shaped, character illustrated bottles of water (force not included).  Should be the perfect thirst quencher during those long hours said Star Wars fan will probably be spending this Holiday Season on the Star Wars "The Old Republic" MMO.

Happy Father's Day
