Saul Bass 'Quest'
posted May 20, 2013 #
In 1983, renowned designer Saul Bass (and his wife Elaine) directed a short film based on Ray Bradbury's "Frost and Fire." The resulting 30 minute piece - Quest - has been on my Really Should Watch This list for awhile. So, I'm making sure to put it out there so I'm held responsible for partaking in it. The special effects and set pieces have a familiar early 80's feel (think TRON or even Never-Ending Story) but with that Bass design angle to them. The above screenshots do it no justice.
Many thanks to Drafthouse for the heads up - I can't get over the amount of quality content they put out there unrelated to their own endeavors.
