Symmetry: A Palindromic Film

This short film debuted in 2013, created as a graduation project by Parachutes.TV – written, directed, and edited by .  was written symmetrically where the second half is exactly the same as the first, except it was shown backwards and mirrored. The short started off by showing many different shots of a boy and girl in their daily ritual, unclear what to expect. As the film progresses, we start to see the formation of a conflict. The film itself emphasizes the relationship of a boy and girl and the boy’s experience in finding his clarity. After the couple got into a conflict, he runs off, only to find comfort in the arms of another woman. That was the main concept of the first part, where the second part was continued exactly the same except in reversal. The whole concept blended together nicely creating continuous shots from the beginning to end. Some of the most creative parts about this short are its angles and length of shots. It showcased so many different angles that were framed nicely and suiting to the shots, as well as the very short shots, that surprisingly pieced together well and maintained good continuity. The short and creative angles of the shots also give a classy and mysterious field to it, creating an unexpected and curious desire towards the audience. This film was also supported with great background music, creating a moment for every shot and created a continuous flow – especially for a film with no dialogues.  The overall flow of the film falls back neatly – creating a mind-churning film. It brings something new and fresh to the cinematic scene, so this film is definitely something to watch.

Nike Air Max Lunar 90 & Jacquard Just Released

New additions to the Nike Airmax family have been announced and released in Indonesia. The Air Max 90 is a familiar silhouette to any casual sneaker aficionado, and this spring 2014 marks the 90s latest innovations: The Air Max Lunar 90 and the Air Max Jacquard. As you can probably infer from its name, the Air Max Lunar 90 combines two of Nike's cushioning: the Air Max and Lunarlon. As someone who has experience wearing both technologies, I will be curious as to how the combination of the Lunarlon's rubbery-soft cushioning and the Air Max 90s springy 'air bubble' will fair, but my guess is it's a comfortable combination. The innovation, of course, doesn't stop at the soles. Also included in the Air Max Lunar 90 are flexible uppers and a compression-molded collar. The Air Max Jacquard brings an age-old weaving process (since the 1800s, according to Nike's press release) into its 2014 sneaker. As you can assume from the photographs, the Jacquard weave's texture gives adds breathability and flexibility, enhancing the Air Max 90's features (plus, the weaving texture looks pretty good IMO). As of this article's date the Air Max Lunar 90 is available Indonesia-wide Nike Stores, while the Jacquard is available in select Jakarta retailers.
