Kate Speaks...Poetry!

Showing messages 1–10 of 36

Nick Knight's 360 degree 'time slice' shots of Kate Moss, captured on our shoot for V last December, may still burn on your retina. But now let the voice of Kate Moss ring in your ears! For the the film they were destined to create is now complete and ready for viewing. With the magazine on the newsstands, this final flowering has come at an opportune time. Flooded with swirling, luminescent colour, hypnotic silhouettes and with Kate's spoken soundtrack of Roddy Lumsden's poem 'Bloom' that he composed on set, horticulture has never seemed quite so fascinating.

Visually this film is absolutely stunning and one of the best of the 3D scanning pieces Nick Knight has done to date. I'm pleased NK pursues this type of experimental work rather than just relying on safer and less adventurous formats of image making.
This is the first time I got a chance to look at the film-there's always something on Showstudio to keep me happy-Thanks for sharing!

It seems that nothing seems to gel on this one, music, poem, effects, voice over.

I agree that the abstract poetry and visuals are quite arkward in some places but the links betwwen the words,shapes and colours are stunning. roping root and stem is my fave.

I know that the 60s 70s is very fashionable at the moment, but why choose to make a visual statement using updated phycadelic imagery, there are some parts of this film that make me feel nauseas due to the effects used. The reading of the poem is very flat and dry, and also lacks any engagement with the words that are being spoken: does not bring the poem to life. I have directed RADA trained actors in the past, so hearing Kate was an assault on my ears. The whole production has a cold and mechanical feel to it. I do not know why people sent in flowers for this project if they have all been processed out of oblivion. , plus I cannot fathom why someone would want to base a production on a poem that lacks sophistication or depth.

I personally feel Roddy Lumsdens poem Bloom is beautiful.
I don't think we can ignore the uniqueness of the fact that it is Kate Moss reading it and i think her delivery is a pleasant surprise, tender and charming.
This is a project with no parallel, flowers being sent ,the shoot being broadcast live , the use of a time slice for fashion imagery, the interpretation of this seasons floral theme from the collections, the photographs in V magazine, original poetry being written live in response to fashion,and now this film . I cant understand how anybody would want to complain ,it is not happening anywhere else and none of us are getting charged a single cent for this unparalleled intimate access!
