Sagmeister (& a note about filmmaking for the www)

I have always been a fan of Stefan Sagmeister’s work. As part of Adobe’s features of different artists/designers this short film was created to feature his work. He takes things to quite the extreme for his work, you can call it dedication or crazy. He has had interns carve his skin for a poster. He gained 23 pounds for another poster. No matter what, the work is good, thoughtful and worth a look.

As a side note to the films. Most of the films are done by Hillman Curtis. He is originally a new media/web designer, he applies several of the principals of compressing/creating new media for the web to this particular series of films. The idea is that you don’t have lots of movement, slow movements or shots where majority of the subject matter stays the same, allowing compression codecs to not have to constantly replace pixels (which equals more memory). All of the films are worth watching.
