OPENING 007: the Skyfall Opening Sequence

Dissecting the intricately beautiful opening sequence of SKYFALL, the latest blockbuster in the James Bond legacy, is a heady task. First hurdle is the length. Director Sam Mendes dedicated over 3 minutes and 55 seconds of his film to the sequence, and designer Daniel Kleinman clearly had no trouble filling every frame with richly layered compositions hinting toward the movies key themes and elements.

I love the gorgeous segue from the Prologue into the Opening Sequence! As Bond (Daniel Craig) crashes below the water's surface, we shift from the reality of the main story into his psyche. Our hero plummets into his dark, watery grave as finely manicured, female fingers grip his collar pulling him deeper into his own demise.

Minnie, the Fashionista

Disney and Barney's are plugging in for "Electric Holiday" a short film highlighting the season's biggest fashion trends and celebrating some very notable figures (Linda Evangelista, Daphne Guinness, Naomi Campbell, and Lady Gaga... just to name a few).

The stylish video gives us a glimpse into Minnie Mouse's ultimate fashion fantasy as she strolls the streets of Paris, walks the Lanvin Runway, and hob-knobs with all the beautiful people.
