    I had to do a reality check when this came on. I saw this video just yesterday and it wasn’t on RB! I think … maybe I dreamed it. Maybe I’m dreaming now.

    No it wasn’t a dream. This was on vimeo and twitter last Wednesday.

    Well done made and it’s a good tribute to the video “Remind Me” of Roysopp.

    Enough info in that video to provide one with a university degree from Tuber U.

    I didn’t know that Little Red Riding Hood and Grandmother get rescued from the wolf’s stomach. Or is that a new version?

      That’s the version I’ve always known; except for the part with the drag coefficient of the VW Microbus being used to calculate the speed with which to get to Grandma’s house. I guess my parents skipped that part on account of it being a bit too technical!

        Ha! So it turns out LRH is a transformational story. A youth generation protagonist and an elder generation share a brush with death, via the one’s efforts to assist and the other’s disabled state.

        The moral of the story, never tell the truth to a carnivore blocking your road in the dark woods?

        Of course, I feel compelled to point out that wolves get a bad rap. Despite their overwhelming reputation, there has never been a documented wolf attack on a human being. Attempts by officials to document said attacks, including some of the famous ones in Russia and Germany and the U.S., have all failed. ref: “Of Wolves and Men,” Barry Lopez.

        We have reintroduced wolves in Oregon and, despite years of vociferous protestations by ranchers, there haven’t been many problems that

        The wolf’s reputation is a rather underhanded projection of something in the heart of man.

        Thank you for your time. :)

        Is this healthy adult Oregon wolf tracking something or just using it’s daily path? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bh3qu1Ve1g

        I advocate the harmlessness of wolves too. But I think a today LRRH release should have the hunter devoured by the wolf. In the last shot of this video you’d see a chart of the food chain where the hunter gets in for the proteinic value of his own flesh, and gets out as nitrogenous fertilizer in the shape of wolf’s thurds. Now, that would be a happy end.

        Come on, the VW bus is plainly illustrated in the Brothers Grimm’s early 1800’s version! How could you miss it?

        Hey, this is a super-cool tech-ie interpretation of LittleRedRidingHood! I enjoyed watching it.

        Once upon a time I read Bruno Bettelheim’s ‘The Uses of Enchantment–The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales (Vintage Books, Knopf, New York, 1976). I quote:

        At this age, from four until puberty, what the child needs most is to be presented with symbolic images which reassure him that there is a happy solution to his oedipal problems–though he may find himself…*

        Note: I’m sure if Bettelheim had written this today he would have used ‘he/she’ in place of ‘he’.

        Fairy Tales, in essence, help a young mind wrestle with adjusting to the exterior world:

        Like all great art, fairy tales both delight and instruct; their special genius is that they do so in terms which speak directly to children. At the age when these stories are most meaningful to the child, his problem is to bring some order into the inner chaos of his mind so that he can understand himself better–a necessary preliminary for achieving some congruence between his perceptions and the external world.**

        Many ‘meanings’ have been proffered about the symbolisms in LittleRedRidingHood. For example, and I can’t quote the exact reference for where I read these (and it doesn’t matter as this is merely a comment, and not being submitted for a grade, right?), the wolf represents the unpredictable and animalistic nature of men that a girl, when grown, will encounter. The hunter represents the gentler, helpful, provider instincts of men which she will encounter. The sick grandmother in a bed could represent menopause, while the basket of food provided by the girl’s mother could represent ‘bearing’ right now. The girl’s own cloak is red, representing blood, menstrual, perhaps, that she will someday have to experience; or danger to be avoided (red flag); or passion (red-hot lover), et cetera. The hood? One of my favorites: a representation of the clitoral hood (one interpretation, anyway)! A walk in the deep forest: perhaps represents the mysterious inner mind sorting things out: oh look, a wolf-like thought!

        So many endless meanings for a young woman’s mind to grasp! Next up for the boys: ‘Jack and The Beanstalk’!!!

      4. I suggest you start reading Tantra, especially position 2367.

        Yes the Beanstalk must of been phallic too, right.

        So perhaps you remember what Bettelheim said - right in that book - on the ability of French artist Gustave Doré to sum it up the whole wolf-maiden stuff in just one pic. She doesn’t like how things are turning up, yet…

        Hello B-Man, the engraving is from a 1867 edition of Charles’ Perrault fairy tales (Perrault authored one of the most popular versions of LRRH). But I can’t find a specific site, so you have to dig out the pics through search engine.

        Here’s another pic from the same work:

    This is not a “reinterpretation”, it’s just plain old Little Red Riding Hood packaged in the fashion of a Royksopp video. The new details absent in the original story, like the bus, are insubstantial. Most of my credit goes to the old authors of the fairy tale and the designers of the Royksopp’s videos.

    Of course nobody says that any new work has to be a prodigy of creativity, and if what you expect from a new video is just a few minutes of mind sparkling and displacement from the routine, the output of this was fine. A good pick.

  13. SUNDAY SCHOOL AT THE BOOM

    History of Tibetan Prayer Flags

    For many centuries the Tibetan people draped prayer flags from homes and trees, monasteries and mountain peaks in the Himalaya to bless the surrounding countryside. The tradition is believed to have originated in the Tibetan Bon tradition, the ancient indigenous culture that predated Buddhism in Tibet.

    The prayer flags are printed with sacred images, symbols and mantras which are carried on the wind out to benefit the world.

    Red, blue, green, yellow and white rectangles of cloth are strung to form the flags. These colors represent the five elements, which are fire (red), water (blue), air (green), earth (yellow) and space (white).

    The flags are hung in a specific order and sequence. Though traditionally hung outside, they can also be hung indoors where slight movements of air send vibrations and blessings out of the home and into the world.

    Originally the writings and renderings on prayer flags were hand painted. Later wood blocks allowed artists to reproduce the designs with a printing process.

    Since prayer flags were discouraged under Chinese rule, many of the traditional prayer flags today are made in Nepal and India by Tibetan refugees.
