SHOW US A COUPLE OF LINKS/VIDEOS THAT INSPIRE YOU: The opening title for ‘Trainspotting’ by tomato, it’s looks rather simple for today’s standard but this 12sec inspired me to start exploring on moving visuals. Bjork’s ‘All is full of love’ directed by Chris Cunningham, it’s been a decade and it still looks amazing. Madonna’s ‘Rain’ by Mark Romanek, Stanley Kubrick’s ’2001 SPACE ODYSSEY’, Wong Kar Wai’s ‘In the mood for love’
