of visual interest

I always find it interesting to see the difference in how different cultures view or treat the same thing. The difference between the French and English trailers for a particular movie, for example. (The German ad spot for The Sentinel was radically different from the American ads I've seen, as another example.)

Anyway: the film RENAISSANCE is an interesting little thing. It's set in Paris 2054, which immediately gets my attention. It appears to be a mystery, where a detective is tracking down an abducted woman in a surreal, animated BLACK AND WHITE city. We are not talking grayscale.

Check out the original French trailer, and/or the dubbed English trailer.

Other visually interesting things:

Auroras in Nebraska.

A really pretty storm.

It does look amazing. I think it would hurt a little to watch, for me. Things in stark black and white play havoc with my eyes sometimes. I start seeing motion where there isn't any, especially in stuff like b&w checkerboard patterns and whatnot.

I've never seen an aurora. I understand those shots were taken with long-exposure, not just snapped, but they're still very impressive and beautiful.

:3 Storms don't scare me. Or, even when they do, they exhilarate me more.
