Pues el tema "Valentina" es probablemente lo peor que he oído de Prince en mi vida. ¡Qué mierda! Parece un tema sacado de un disco de R&B alemán.

Y el resto por ahora, ni fu ni fa. Pero me parece un disco MPLSound que lo ha hecho una tarde en su casa mientras se miraba al espejo.

Pues a mi me gusta valentina.Para mi lo peor que a echo prince a sido el cheery cherry del Exodus

DIRECTOR OF CHOCOLATE BOX GIVES HIS TAKE

Press Release from Fulltank

Santa Monica, CA (April 13, 2009) -- Creative production studio Fulltank announced today that it provided visual effects, including on-set supervision, for a CGI-intensive promo for "Chocolate Box," the new single from Prince's "MPLSoUND" album released on March 29th. The video, helmed by music video director P.R. Brown, features an all-digital fantasy world inspired by the dark urban aesthetic of SIN CITY. To view the music video, visit: http://www.fulltank.tv/pri/.

"When I started the process of bringing Prince's vision for the video to life, I was fortunate to have found the guys at Fulltank," said Director P.R. Brown of Bau-Da Design. "Throughout the project, their passion for the video was clear and they went well beyond what I thought could be produced given the time we had. It was a pleasure working with them, and they really helped bring to life the hyper stylized vision I had for the piece."

In the promo for "Chocolate Box," Prince is an all-seeing Orwellian figure, whose gaze looms over a shadowy cityscape as projected onto the sides of skyscrapers and a psychedelic airship. Rapper Q-Tip - who collaborated with Prince on the track - stars as a man in pursuit of a beautiful and mysterious woman. Their athletic hunter-hunted game of parcour takes them across rooftops and buildings. When they finally meet, the video goes from a black and white palette accented by occasional flashes of color, and crescendos into a technicolor explosion of surreal graphical elements. Neon jellyfish bob in mid-air, a giant fuchsia sphere pulsates with otherworldly energy (and Prince's omnipotent visage), and lightning zigzags across the sky. The video closes with "To be continued."

In addition to providing on-set visual effects supervision for the one-day shoot at the SOURCE film studio's greenscreen stage in Hollywood, Fulltank Creative Director Chris Do and Executive Producer Ben Morris and a team of nine artists oversaw 190 visual effects shots over the course of five very short weeks, using live-action material captured with the RED camera at 4K.

Because of this truncated timetable, Fulltank developed a workflow based more on a feature film, rather than commercial production pipeline. Instead of working shot by shot, Fulltank set very particular daily milestones, sending files through to the render farm every evening for testing in the morning. Said Chris Do, Creative Director, Fulltank, "This video pushed us to develop a custom production pipeline that we're using on future Fulltank projects. That's an opportunity rarely awarded to smaller creative shops, which aren't often able to allocate the time and resources for in-house R&D."

Despite the obvious challenge of this tight deadline, Fulltank was given almost 100 percent creative control over the VFX - an amazing opportunity to develop the look and feel of the video with director P.R. Brown. Added Do, "We were so fortunate to work with such an intuitive and organic director, who also has an extensive visual effects background. This enabled us collaborate very closely because he understood the process, and the vibe that Prince wanted to achieve."

Fulltank relied on a software toolkit comprising primarily of Adobe After Effects and Apple Shake for compositing, with Autodesk Maya and MAXON Cinema 4D for modeling, all running on Macintosh and Windows platforms on a 15 quad core render farm.

The T-shirts are coming...
Congratulations !

As a founding member of Lotusflow3r.com, an exclusive T-Shirt (no longer available to new signups) will be winging its way to you soon!

In the last few weeks we have been inundated with emails from members who either missed seeing the T-Shirt size selection page when they signed up, or inadvertently selected the wrong size.

As we want to make sure that all our founding members receive a shirt that they can wear with pride, we are giving you all one last chance to change your shirt  size before we dispatch them. This does mean that the shirts will be sent out a little later than originally suggested, but we believe that it is of the utmost importance that everyone ends up with a shirt that they look great wearing!

The T-shirts are available in unisex sizes Small, Medium, Large and X-Large, as well as girl's sizes Small, Medium and Large.

...............

Montreux Jazz Fest Vids
Dear ,

Performances of "Little Red Corvette" and "When Eye Lay My Hands On U" from Montreux Jazz Fest were just added to the sphere. Enjoy!

Sincerely,
LotusFlow3r.com

[Shockadelica]

Gracias, cat! Voy a verlos!

*Edito: hay alguna manera de que se pueda escuchar el vídeo sin necesidad de escuchar el Lotusflow3r por detrás?

[goldie]

Madre mía!!!! Los pelos de punta se me han quedao!

Supongo que sí saldrá el Dvd, si no sería pa matarlo.

Shocka, yo lo escucho sin problema. Puede ser que hayas activado la reproducción del disco? Si pinchas directamente la bola no suena el lotusflow3r.

[blueangel]

yo tambien lo he podido ver y escuchar bien.Tiene que sacarlo hasta en blue-ray!!

[tototote]

Supongo que sí saldrá el Dvd, si no sería pa matarlo.

No tendria sentido entonces que el video tuviese el logo del festival (como todas las ediciones que han sacado en DVD) y la pantalla fuese anamorfica...

En Blu-ray, por favor.....

[maxwell91]

Hola, aunque pinta bien no nos pongamos la piel del oso antes de cazarla porque yo tengo algún DVD pirata de conciertos de Montreux con el logo del festival y en buenísima calidad y al final no han salido en DVD, aunque salen muchos de ellos. Yo tengo uno de Marcus Miller, otro de George Clinton (diferente al que hay editado en DVD) y creo que uno de Tower Of Power.

Saludos.

Sí, sí, al final pude escucharlo, era lo que tú decías. Gracias!

Yo también espero con ganas el DVD, y espero que no se "coma" la parte final del primer concierto, porque fue apoteósica.
