Talking Graffiti With… Kidult

Talking Graffiti With… Kidult



An interview with Street artist Kidult. His approach to taking graffiti back to its roots is an interesting perspective in a world where graffiti artists are becoming stars rather than public disrupters of the landscape. I'm really just trying to get a feel for what people are up to in the urban art world. This grass roots approach echos the approach taken bu artists at the "Rage Cage" studio that I work in where people are still just doing graffiti and street art to provoke society rather than to become famous.

I enjoyed this video because I found that the music really took what was a fairly short, well shot piece of video and brought it to life. I think that music is a really important part of making a short film because it can either make or break a viewers enjoyment of a piece of footage. If it fits and is appropriate to the visual it enhances it. If it is ill-fitted then the felling the director is trying to portray i lost.

This music fits quite well to the film and provides a sense of slowness and ambiguity to the film.

I will be trying to carefully consider the music I add to my short films for the reasons stated above. I also thought that music like the track used in this piece was similar to the type of music I might use for Tom O'herns segment as it has that low fi, droning approach much like the music Tom listens to in the "Rage Cage" studio.
