It's been a while since we've heard of the crew, but they've sent of pictures of their time in the US. The last we heard, they were deported out of there for causing mayhem, and are now heading to France. Seeing the pictures, we're guessing they've had fun in the Lone star state. Â A small word from the man who was lucky enough to be their photographer and live, Matt Crawford: "I should start with mad props to Trevor and the entire Fiz-iks crew for generating the concept for The Orbacle and then finding the masks for The Crew. The entire thing is well conceptualized and looks great. I really like emphasizing the potential for storytelling in a long exposure shot. Stringing along an international story development process is a magnificent thing, the possibilities are literally endless.....with The Crew Fiz-iks provided a very exotic looking cast, a strong story line, and freedom to continue the narrative thread in any direction. So, it's like a perfect project and I am very honored to have been able to play a small part. I can't wait to see how it all develops....." Â Now let's see what the crew has been up to in Texas.
And the Fiz-Iks Orb-acle story continues! This series of shots documents the "makeovers" that The Orb-acle kindly gave each of these men. Here you can witness the creation of the genetic freaks which have become to be known simply as The Crew.
Just when you thought you've seen it all, along comes the crew from Fiz-iks to ruin your perception of reality. Based in Japan, their light art goes a lot further then the well-known city neon lights. With a van full of light toys and heads full of crazy ideas they take their art to any place they encounter. Without a doubt they're going to be responsible for lifting light painting up to a next level. Seeing these guys are a great support with bringing CFYE into this world, we will be working together a lot in the future and you'll be seeing loads of CFYE/Fiz-Iks collaborations so stay tuned. More on that soon. First, a proper introduction to the world of Fiz-iks!
Somewhere in the dark midst of North Carolina (Stanly County to be exact) strange lights are known to appear. Hovering orbs, twirls and trails color the sky on a regular basis. The locals talk about 'el extraterrestre' or area 41. Since the lights have been appearing two years ago, no-one still knows what is going on
How did we do this? Well actually we didn't yet, TCB did. But he hooked us up with something that almost gave us tears of joy: The CFYE collapsable light stencil, complete with manual and examples in a great looking instruction booklet. Besides that, he also made a video tutorial for the ones who don't like reading. Break in abandoned buildings, go deep into the forest or paint your windows black. Whatever you do, make sure it's dark for the first part of TCB's light painting 101's:
No, your eyes are not playing any tricks on you. What you see before you is as real as it can get. No photoshop, no hallucinations but straight up real art, with the world as a canvas and light as brushes. That's why we are proud to present the newest addition to the CFYE crew: Them Chernobyl Buds.
As a Jedi Master with lightpainting he does everything for his art and is always prepared to take a young paddawan under his wings. Be prepared because he's ready to give Crack For Your Eyes a whole new meaning. Please strap on your seatbelt and be ready for a great adventure in photography with a series of lightpainting 101's containing spectacular images and tutorials.
But first, how it all began: An addiction to lightpainting by Them Chernobyl Buds...
