The Great Pablo Ferro

My good pal Mike Malloy created a short film on multi-screen sequences in Feature films as a supplement to the new dvd release of Fernando DiLeo’s Nick The Sting. He asked if I had any footage of my old friend Pablo Ferro that he could include in his film. Pablo was a great title designer ( Dr. Strangelove, Bullit, Good Will Hunting,etc.),  He made the amazing multiple sequence for the original version of The Thomas Crown Affair. I had filmed Pablo at an Optical Printer a few years back and I was happy to let Mike use the footage, Here is the film Mike made.

Here’s a great recording of an interview with Stanley Kubrick. Done during the shooting of 2001, A Space Odyssey. It’s very interesting to hear Kubrick’s voice and he tells some informative tales. Check it out.

I’ve been in a Buster Keaton mood lately, so here is a little masterpiece, SHERLOCK JR. I understand it was not a hit when it came out, as a matter of fact I think it was his poorest performer at the Box Office. Since then it has risen quite a bit in the public’s esteem. I believe his masterpiece, THE GENERAL was not a big hit either and now is recognized for the work of genius that it is. Anyway Buster Keaton we salute you. Your work is getting the respect and admiration it deserves.

And here is a short about the making of SHERLOCK JR.
