In October, director Michel Gondry was spotted filming outside of his house on Orient Avenue in Brooklyn. No Eternal Sunshine sequel rumors spread (Clementine's house is on the same block), but curiosity was piqued. Turns out the work was all for Dick Annegarn's "Soleil du soir" video.
As one blogger notes, the artist sounds a bit like the French Randy Newman. But you still get some cool shots of the neighborhood. And way to go Garden Grill, the diner got a bunch of time lapse love.




i'm glad he's really doing something new and interesting.
Meh. My Brooklyn time lapse is better.
Both of them.
Not really sure this is a real time-lapse as it seems just to be a couple days of interlaced night and day shots. The girls in the diner behind him are just a couple of different ones, as are the clothes, pumpkins on the sidewalk, and such. I think it's meant to look like a time lapse, but really just a funky interlaced series of a day or two.
Ugh, watching this gives me a headache.
that's where I live, holmes! i eat an egg in that place
The next day he awoke to find Morlocks and Eloi.
Very nice vid.
french randy newman? so not only is he treacly but he's treacly and doesn't shower? nice.
[2] ... not really...
It's so bizarre to me that Michel Gondry bought a house over there. I used to live like 4 blocks away and it was sketchy as hell. There was literally a crackhouse on my block. Guess the hipsters have been a good influence on the hood.
"the artist sounds a bit like the French Randy Newman"
Real Randy Newman sucks bad enough without the added taint of being French.
i agree with 3
