Our main video man Smitty is making a wild style documentary of the gonzo process of making the craziest, biggest and best one day Valentine’s Day festival Los Angeles has ever seen. Here’s how Smitty tells it:
LUCENT L’AMOUR THE MOVIE is a hybrid documentary/narrative/musical/comedy, inspired by “wild style” and “lighting over water” as well as the films of John Cassavettes and the contemporary DIY film/video movement. It will be shot with multiple cameras over multiple formats. The story is told through interviews, archival footage, improvised scenes, actual events and the meta-data (the behind the scenes of the shooting of the film). The final product is a feature film experience unlike any other.
For 13 days (feb 3rd-15th) we will shoot everyday. Depending on who is available, the cast and crew will constantly be changing. every day, after shooting is wrapped, we will go home and edit the footage and then have something posted online before bed. All leading up to the grand celebration of Lucent L’amour.
Day 1:
Ana Sia has been added to the lineup! We’ve officially confirmed crunk status on Lucent L’amour.
We’ve got a bunch of her links (including a download of her latest mix) over on her official Lucent L’amour artist page. Check it: http://lucentlamour.com/music/ana-sia/
On January 9th we brought The Glitch Mob into town with MartyParty and Jupit3r. Mayhem ensued. Smitty’s video tells the story best:
A great way to start off 2010, and we’re plannin on more of the same with Lucent L’amour comin up next!
Vimby produced a quality video last year showing what Lucent L’amour is all about. It features a pair of great interviews with Adam Freeland and Z-Trip at the end getting their perspective on what makes Lucent L’amour different from other events.
Our gallery section this year is off the hook thanks to curators Mike Russek and Deborah Vogt who have (along with the help of Adam Mostow) secured the amazing duo The Mac and Retna to do a large scale live painting during the festival that will be a truly momentous occasion.
And that’s just the (huge) cherry on top. The gallery will also feature 5 of the hottest Los Angeles artists creating a live installation piece together, while over 30 fresh artists’ work awaits to delight your senses on the gallery walls.
See them all on our art gallery page, and check below for some samples of The Mac & Retna’s amazing work.
see a video of them in action after the break.
Woohoo! The DJ team N.A.S.A. (North America South America) has just been added to the Lucent L’amour 2010 lineup. Their show at last year’s Coachella is reaching legendary status for those lucky enough to have caught it. Now we’re bringin the show to LA for this year’s Lucent L’amour festival!
We are excited to collaborate with these masters of collaboration who have brought together incredible talent from all over the world for their album and videos. Collaborators on their last album, The Spirit of Apollo, include Kanye West, Santigold, Lykke Li, David Byrne, Tom Waits, Karen O, Amanda Black, and more. They also got together with a number of top directors to create some of the best music videos of the year:
