THE VIRAL FACTORY USA AND JAMES ROUSE SPLIT HAIRS FOR REMINGTON

So spot-on and genuine is this film in its regard for its subject, the term "mockumentary" just doesn’t seem to fit. Nevertheless, as this 3-minute "Fashion Show" unfolds, it becomes clear, sort of, that someone has orchestrated the proceedings. Commissioned by Grey Worldwide and directed by James Rouse with The Viral Factory, "Fashion Show" purports to chronicle the latest work of fictional designer Stefane Monzon, whose canvas is hair – specifically pubic hair. Staged in LA, the piece has a grounded, realistic tone, despite the outrageous styling choices (including Ostrich-like plumes as well as flame-streaked hair, because, as Monzon exclaims, "fire burns everywhere, it doesn’t just burn it the tips."). Edited by Justin Trovato at Jigsaw Editorial, the film jumps from backstage to center stage, and the crowd was wowed by the show, which they perceived to be real – only the models, actors, and production staff knew it was a setup.

    I surely ought to get out of this house much more and give up wasting just about all of my time of day learning poker on myspace or facebook only because these days i have been not been able to read with regards to this. Despite the fact that I cant express that I undeniably concur with every word, it’s excellent to go through some keen commentary in lieu of the usual spam I see floating round the net.

    lol many of the opinions folks distribute are such stoner remarks, from time to time i ask myself if they in actual fact read the items and threads before placing a comment or whether they only read the title of the blog post and submit the first thing that pops into their heads. nonetheless, it is useful to read through intelligent commentary every now and then in contrast to the identical, outdated oppinion vomit that i mainly see on the net i’m off to enjoy a couple of rounds of facebook poker so long

  14. April 8, 2010 at 9:38 pm
