Higher Center Piece




Art Principals and elements combine with technology to create to be what I think of as some of the most important forms of art. After mastery of design principals of color, line, shape etc.... the next step is stratagies in becoming compelling such as visual hiearchy and using new mediums. Samuel Bayer the director of the Metallica music video "Until it Sleeps" shows here a mastery of art principals, art direction, and technology.
Now by using the presence and powerful nature of Metallica as a center piece. So what is being said is the table is set the food is there and



all eyes are are on the center piece being wispered to by the rest of the surroundings.

My first impression from the music video was "Wow what a setting for such a compelling stentorian of a song" Metallica as human beings compel me to be what I am capable of.





The overbearing song is complemented with overbearing visuals. Each still image from the video is a work of art.

A lot of metaphors and bizzare visuals cause for a eye and ear feast from this music video.
