2009: The Cinescape, and my letter regarding it.
Author: Sterling Heltzel | Filed under: Arts
Hello distinguished members of the internet film press, blogosphere, etc.,
Matt Shapiro, the creator of “The Cinescape” that has gone around every year, has his new video out. After many people have copied the format and have raced to get them all out weeks before New Years, when he routinely puts them out (as Kees van Dijkhuizen’s video did for example).
I’m sending this to everyone because this year, Matt completely changed up the format. His videos have always been good, but like the rest of the people who make these videos, they were sentimental and nostalgic, maybe even too much so. This year, much to the disappointment of some on First Showing or AwardsDaily, who have already posted it, it is a very different breed of montage this year.
Set to Radiohead’s “Exit Music”, this one is a moody, somber, and overall artistic version of “the cinescape”, that doesn’t play as well to the “awwwwwwwww” factor. It’s different. It’s relevant. And most of all, it’s just plain damn good stuff.
Thanks for reading,
Zach Heltzel
