Anything missing? Will future maps be entirely covered in horrific, Justin Bieber-shaped double rainbows, and if so, is it too late to mount some sort of armed resistance? So many questions…

Menno Fokma / Reel 2010 from Menno Fokma on Vimeo.

“I am searching for abstract ways of expressing reality. Abstract forms that will enlighten my own mystery.”

The reel is a compilation of past projects; existing of commercial- and independent projects. A lot of work is done at, and in co-operation with, the amazing creative motion studio Onesize ( www.onesize.nl ). My role varied from (co-)direction to (post) production, but mostly art direction.

Studio Takt ( www.studio-takt.com ) did an outstanding job with his futuristic, cutting-edge music and sounddesign!

There they were. Now I’m on the Interweb baby!

Oh and by the way, Google Street View has finally launched in SA.

  1. Go to maps.google.com
  2. Type in a search query
  3. Drag the little yellow man to the desired place
  4. Voila! Here begins the journey.

So now you can visit your in-laws, wherever they are, without actually being there.

What a milestone for humanity.

Dear Google, thank you for posting such blurry greatness on the interweb.

Much, much love.
