Great series. While I'm especially fond of the Albers video, I love the concept in this one of letting the material be itself, celebrating its nature without disguise. Many thanks.
Aaron Britt is to be complimented on asking the right questions and interviewing the right people in this series (so far). This latest HM interview is really educational. The US public, already deprived of design and aesthetics education, are further misinformed by most of the "shelter magazines" and instead provided status and fashion statements. I'm reminded of this quote: "There is hope in honest error, none in the icy perfection of the mere stylist." Charles Rennie McIntosh. Tx for this series. Rich
Aaron Britt looks like he just beamed from the first Technicolor movie (1922).
I found Susan's responses inspirational and profound - would enjoy hearing more! I unfortunately found Aaron distracting, the delivery of his question felt rehearsed and forced. Even though questions & answers are usually predetermined, it shouldn't feel that way on screen. This is my first time watching a video featuring him - maybe I am just not familiar with his character.
Thoughtful questions and inspiring responses. "You don't need a lot of choices you just need really beautiful ones" - Susan Lyons. Fabulous!
Love this series. Great topics and nice cinematography. Aaron Britt asks just the right questions with class and poise. I'm also inspired now to buy more colorful socks! Keep up the good work, Dwell. -Peter O., Portland, Ore.
What system was this shot on? Beautifully done!
Hi Charles. The camera system used is the Canon 5DMKII.
