Lady Gaga builds one of the world's largest fan bases by using the web to talk directly and openly to her community.
This film celebrates Lady Gaga's special and unmediated relationship with her fans, the Little Monsters. The making of this film is a demonstration of the power of the web in its own right. The entire project, beginning with Lady Gaga's shoot in NYC on May 8th, to shipping materials to the television networks for air, took 10 days. Within hours of the release of her new single "Edge of Glory" on May 9th, fans began uploading videos on YouTube, making the song their own by dancing to it, singing it and playing it on all kinds of instruments. Lady Gaga then posted a message on her website asking for more videos to be used in the film project. Fans responded within minutes and uploaded hundreds more videos. Back in the editing room, in real time as fan videos streamed in, editors were putting them into the film. The film was completed on May 18th in time to air during Lady Gaga's performance on the season finale of Saturday Night Live, and to also live on the web forever.
This week, Untitled Entertainment partner Guy Oseary and Live Nation are going live with a joint web venture RockPaperPhoto.com, an online art gallery selling largely unpublished, hand-signed, limited-edition prints of more than 1,000 singers and acts ranging from B.B. King and James Brown to Green Day and Gwen Stefani.
Richard Burbridge is always pushing fashion photography to new heights and his latest story in Dazed & Confused, puts an creative spin on portraiture with help from artist, Maurizio Anzeri. Utilizing Anzeri’s unique sewing techniques and Robbie Spencer‘s knack for pulling the seasons’ best pieces, Burbridge creates a story that is just plain fun. Fresh faces (cast by Edward Kim) Herieth Paul, Dempsey Stewart, Charlotte Free, Bethany Terry, Christoph Ribbe, Kaan Tilki, Miles Frank and Sen provide the unusual poses, while Anzeri gives them added oomph via his expressive embroidery.
