“Formed in 2008, Legs is a full-service creative team of writers, directors and producers based out of MILK Studios in New York and Los Angeles. They create broad and artistic campaigns through creative collaboration in various media including film, video, photography, performance and installations. The core members of Legs are Adam Joseph, Georgie Greville, Greg Brunkalla and Geremy Jasper.”
“In “Dog Days Are Over”, directed by Georgie Greville and Geremy Jasper of LEGS, and edited by Paul Snyder at Lost Planet, Florence is the shamanic leader of a surreal orchestra where spiritual elation explodes into smokey psychedelic anarchy. Each musical element of the song is personified by a group of colorful characters that combine 60’s girl groups, Hinduism, gospel choirs, drum circles, paganism and pyrotechnics. Florence is a painted primal force of nature that whips a religious experience into a riot.”
I LOVE this. It is an incredible piece of pop art and a great example of crossing over between performance art, film (editing) and digital artistry. The icing on the cake is of course how crazy-good everything interacts and is executed.
“A subversive take on the casting process directed by Legs’ Georgie Greville, based on the Iggy Pop song ‘I Wanna Be Your Dog’. Georgie won the Samsung Grand Prix for this piece at Diane Pernet’s festival ‘A Shaded View on Fashion Film’.”
Not exactly a fashion film per se, still a very cool idea. You can tell the guys working on this have experience with film – their timing regarding staging, music and editing is quite perfect.
Maybe their most impressive piece is this little film they created as intro for their homepage. It’s not in use anymore, but i can remember how blown away I was, when I discovered LEGS and entered their site and was hit by a full-screen with floating bodies. It was shot with 1000 frames per second (yeah, THOUSAND) on the Phantom high speed camera.
You should visit their homepage, and they have a Vimeo account, too, if you’re only interested in seeing their films.
