I think it's the name that got me hooked. The Impossible Cool. It says everything without saying anything. Filled with iconic beauties that will leave you inspired for days. The man behind it is just as cool as the images he archives.
A white seamless is fantastic for a lot of things but sometimes your backyard makes a pretty good canvas as well. Especially when mother nature is the one painting... The Impossible Cool...
fabulous. filming and writing.
if you don't mind me asking, what kind of camera did you use?

Great film, you've matched the soundtrack perfectly. Like you say, sometimes mother nature provides the best backdrop, especially when it snows!

Favorite of the series to date
The way a man walks can tell you so much about him, i hope you incorporate this aspect into all of the future test shots.

Jake,
Was a blast. Glad to be a part of this.
Thanks for the kind words everyone.
~Sean

Genius.
Posted by: Ronnie Fieg | Thursday, February 18, 2010 at 11:38 PM
Wow, unstoppable.
Best test shot to date.
Keep bringing it.
Posted by: Jason J. | Friday, February 19, 2010 at 01:33 AM
Very cool. The most important aspect of good direction is being able to tell a story though the camera. The cafe sign in the back adds a retro element.
Posted by: HOT + COOL | Friday, February 19, 2010 at 03:17 PM
Now THIS is real style. Though I'm sure all of Sean's clothing is designer, each of the pieces look like something you might find at the local Goodwill.
Not sure what pants and shoes he was wearing but the hat looks like it can be from an Army Navy store, the shirt looks like it can be GAP, the denim jacket from Salvation Army, and the coat looks like an old London Fog coat that was taken to a tailor.
BEST test shot to date.
What I'd love to see are people that do not work in the fashion industry...

I know this neighborhood so well!
best place to shoot, it a true new york city feel.
love it
