DN Gear

By MarBelle ⋅ July 25, 2010 ⋅ 4 comments

Back in 2006 when I first launched DN I spent a massive chunk of my time hunting down information on podcast set ups in the hope of finding the ‘perfect’ rig. Short answer, there is no one perfect solution, but there is a solution that will work for you. From time to time people ask [...]

Salt Films

By drgonzolives ⋅ July 15, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

When my designer of choice Chris Henley tells me he loves a website I check it out. I headed over to Salt Films website expecting to find something that looked gorgeous. The site does indeed please the eyes but there’s something more. Something, fun. It’s a simple idea beautifully realised and instantly Salt Films becomes [...]

Padam

By El Vez ⋅ February 12, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

You have to be pretty brave to make a music video which is just one static shot, but that’s exactly what Parisien design studio M/M decided to do with the video for Benjamin Biolay’s ‘Padam’ and it’s a risk that certainly pays off. Biolay scuttles, shuffles and slides across the frame like a possessed incarnation [...]

Bad Movie Club on Cowfish

By MarBelle ⋅ February 14, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Last night I both pleased to see and gutted to have missed the inaugural Bad Movie Club event that 2000 or so fellow Twitters were Tweeting away about. However, there’s a thoughtful post about it over on the cowfish blog that’s worth checking out if the idea tickles you.

The Art of the Subtitle

Having not managed to see Gomorra in the cinema in 2008, I jumped at the chance of make it one of the first films I saw on the big screen in 2009. For those of you that don’t know anything about the film, its plot weaves together five stories of various Neapolitans and their involvement [...]

The Prince and the Pauper

Calling all Londoners, people who live near London or anyone planning to visit London anytime, you have to check out the fabulous Prince Charles cinema. A favourite of mine for sometime now, this venue is not only a classic old school cinema showing a fine mix of films, but is also a bargain (especially when [...]

Bloc Party – The Take-Away Shows

By MarBelle ⋅ October 31, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

We’ve raved about them before in our interview with creator Vincent Moon, but if you’re yet to check them out, I heartily recommend you start with this version of This Modern Love by Bloc Party. You can actually see the power of The Take-Away Shows melting Kele’s reluctance to take part as he lets himself [...]

‘Ton’derful

By El Vez ⋅ August 6, 2008 ⋅ One comment

Well Directors Notes has hit the 100th episode mark and still no telegram from the Queen, which is a bit weird, as I know she was one of our first subscribers. It seems like only yesterday, I was kicking back with my slippers and pipe listening to the first episode of DN, when MarBelle interviewed [...]
