Video of the Month

July 4th, 2008

Written By: Marina Antunes

Video of the day is too simple a moniker for this fantastic clip.

The UK’s Film 4 will be running an entire season of Stanley Kubrick’s work and to promote the season, they’ve created this fantastic commercial which is well worth a looksee. It’s a single-take tracking shot that goes around the set of The Shinning built specifically for the commercial and it takes in a number of the details of the original film, including the tricycle used in the movie. According to Empire, they even hired actors to resemble the cast and crew of the original. This isn’t a viral video that’s been thrown together. There’s thought and meticulous execution here and it’s wonderful to watch.

But don’t take my word for it. Check it out for yourself:

Oh wow, just wow. Meticulous execution indeed. Eventually staying in the UK pays off with regards to movies! We have to take delayed releasing on both theatrical movies and DVDs, less availability and a lot of the time more expensive prices but now we have our revenge!:P Mwuah ha ha!

Even though I own a lot of his movies I will definitely check this season out. Any ideas on what order they will be playing them in? The year? A vote? Or just random?
