Footages of Dartmoor national park in Devon, southern England.

The two films share some common scenes and shots, but evoke very distinct moods and atmosphere. One’s more ominous while the other is more nostalgic (strange that I’ve never been to England) with a sense of yearning. But your mileage may vary.

    • ]]>     I’ve always admired the Skype branding. Here’s the brand guide that they’ve released a little while ago. Aside from the pure aesthetic value, it’s quite fascinating to see the work, thoughts and process behind the design that we see everyday, and often take for granted.

    • ]]>     Witness London in color from the year 1927. Apparently this is one of the rare films that were shot in color, rather than colorized after-the-fact. A breathtaking silent film.
