Radar Twenty-Two: Red Light Properties

[ 04:22 ]
Originally trained as a filmmaker, graphic novelist and writer Dan Goldman has developed a unique approach to his work process, something that he's taken to new lengths in the creation of the online graphic novel series Red Light Properties, a tropical horror set in the post-mortgage-crash real estate landscape of Miami. While creating the fictional world for his real estate agent / exorcist protagonists Jude and Ceclia, Dan drew on both original video and photo imagery to aid his hyperrealistic digital illustration, and built virtual 3D sets in which to work, allowing him to both easily revise and immerse himself. Red Light Properties is being serialized for free on Tor.com and is also available via a mobile app. We speak with Dan on the eve of him finishing the first volume, as he moves out of NYC to work remotely from South America.

Paints On Ceiling (Jeremiah Zagar)
Sometimes, an entire lifetime is decided in a moment. At least it was for Isaiah Zagar, whose mother’s scream when he was three set him on the road to becoming an artist. In this striking, dream-like film, his son, Jeremiah reenacts the incident when his father had his epiphany: Letting his crayon stray outside the lines in the coloring book, to the formica kitchen table, then the floor, up the refrigerator and finally scrambling to the top of that appliance in order to color on the ceiling. When his mother walked in and saw her son teetering on the edge, her terrified cry convinced him that his destiny was to evoke similar reactions from others to his art. Now a famous Philadelphia mosaic and mural artist, Isaiah Zagar’s exploration of this moment offers extraordinary insight into the mind of a fascinating and complex man, the subject of his son’s first full-length documentary that won the Emerging Visions Award at its debut at the 2008 South by Southwest film festival.

Radar Twenty-Three: Patently Silly
Everyone has at one point had a ridiculous idea that they thought would make them millions. Some of those people went on to patent those ridiculous ideas. Some of them got made, some of them changed history, and some of them remain forgotten documents. These patents make up the content of Patently Silly, a website, book and animation series. We talk to Daniel Wright about the humor in invention like ‘Delivery of Caffeine Through An Inhalation Route’, ‘Retractable Table Top For Toilet’, ‘Voice Communication Concerning a Local Entity’, track down the inventor of the ‘Portable Electrical Mouse Trap’ and learn from lawyers about how public domain content can be used to explore different creative formats and ideas.

Radar Twenty-Seven: Auto-Tune The News
Started by Michael, Evan, Andrew and Sarah Gregory, Auto-Tune the News takes video clips of Politicians, Pundits, and Newscasters. The dialog of the clips is then Auto-Tuned transforming spoken word into singing. The goal of the project, is to not only add some humor to these normally dry, antiseptic broadcasts, but to make the information delivered fun and understandable to a younger generation, dare we call them, the Auto-Tune generation. In a time when technology can be manipulated to make the impossible a reality, as well as becoming an industry main-stay, this new form of audio filtering can make the worst of singers stay in key, but it can even make CNN fun.

Radar One - Next Door Neighbor
We all have a next-door neighbor and a next-door neighbor story. With this realization in mind, comic book artist, Harvey Pekar collaborator and founder of webcomix collective Act-i-vate, Dean Haspiel approached storytelling site SMITH magazine. The result: a yearlong anthology of diverse, shocking and heartfelt true-life webcomix published biweekly by both emerging and celebrated writers and artists. We visit Dean, and contributors Joan Reilly and Joe Infurnari, at their communal workspace deep in industrial Brooklyn and discuss the importance of place and community – real life and virtual.
