CURRENTLY IN MY HEAD
(2/6) Nick Knight & Massive Attack’s “100th Window”
“This is the most expensive sleeve we and, I’m told, EMI ever made. If I’d painted that cover [after G left], it would have looked like it was my project so I went back to Nick Knight to work on something more abstract. I was thinking about crystals, refracted light and prisms, and Nick was talking about blowing things up. In the end, we found a glassblower in Brixton willing to make eight human-sized figures. We blew them up on a controlled site and shot them shattering with multiple cameras. It was crazy expensive, having this warehouse full of glass humans exploding.” – Robert ‘3D’ Del Naja
Nick Knight was the photographer behind the album art of Massive Attack’s 2003 release “100th Window”. I’ve been a fan of both Nick and Massive Attack since the mid-90s. Happily I stumbled up on this blog giving some behind the scenes of that album. It’s been a long time coming and their newest album Heligoland releasing on Feb 10., 2010.

(2/2) Random Production Photos
I’ve worked several days on this one production and these are some of my favorite ones.![](<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6593712045527733862-4484539186385692843?l=ejenchuang.blogspot.com">https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6593712045527733862-4484539186385692843?l=ejenchuang.blogspot.com</a>)
(1/17) Cell phones
Seriously, I’m thinking of starting a series about technology in today’s world. I swear every production I’ve been on, EVERYONE is on their phones. If aliens come down to Earth, I wouldn’t be surprised if they believe our Gods were these little boxy devices with a bright screen and lines of text. Yesterday on set, I also noticed people on their Apple laptops too.
And yes, I do the same thing. On downtime, I’m fidgeting on the phone like everyone else :) Need to go pick up some gear at a rental house. A film I worked with last month is doing some pick-ups tomorrow.![](<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6593712045527733862-812236355370069350?l=ejenchuang.blogspot.com">https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6593712045527733862-812236355370069350?l=ejenchuang.blogspot.com</a>)
