A long Take of 15 miles and overlapping Images and Signs




Today in the New York Times an artist's project is presented, a three day walk on Broadway Street, a long take of overlapped streets, signs, faces, neighborhoods on a continuous film, a continuous story. Photographer Stéphanie de Rougé reads the city, literally through signs combined into sentences, images combined into the story(ies) of “varied backgrounds” together as it is New York City and as captured through the artist’s own movement through the city's “main artery”, Broadway Street while shooting on one continuous film which she advances as choreographed by the imagery in her path. To get the full effect of this immerse reading of the city, watch the short audio slide show.

The "Long Take" in a Music Video



Here a video called "Oxford Coma" by the band "Vampire Weekend." The video's director was Richard Ayoade. The video is a long take that is a lot like some of the continuous camera shots in Wes Anderson's work, or Godard before him. I meant to post this earlier but it goes back to the earlier discussions of "Touch of Evil" and the Pier Pasolini "Observations on the Long Take" article reminded me of it.
