Anna Burns and Thomas Brown's 'Pop Pop Bang' Plays with British Cinema

— November 7, 2012 — Pop Culture
Creative expert Anna Burns has teamed up with photographer Thomas Brown to produce 'Pop Pop Bang,' a short series that celebrates the history of British cinema and its known preference for girls, guns and bombs.

Burns and Brown turned to vibrant paint-dripping umbrellas for Pop Pop Bang. The parasols unfold one after the other in the clips, mimicking the way in which guns go off in classic British films.

This series took to London's waterfront, the Suffolk House and a lush green forest. The backdrops, each rich in English history, resonated with the project's main themes.

As the pieces were set aflame, scenes from the James Bond series no doubt came to the minds of Vimeo's community members. The artistic production was also full of imagination and original thought, expanding its reach far beyond the motion picture industry.
Trend Themes
1. Paint-dripping Umbrellas - The use of vibrant paint-dripping umbrellas in art and design offers an opportunity for innovative marketing campaigns or unique fashion statements.
2. Celebrating British Cinema - Creating visual tributes to the history and themes of British cinema can inspire new ways to engage with film enthusiasts and promote cultural heritage.
3. Flamboyant Artistic Productions - Bold and imaginative artistic productions, like 'Pop Pop Bang,' present opportunities for immersive experiences, event installations, or multimedia collaborations.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - Artists, designers, and creative agencies can explore the use of paint-dripping umbrellas in their work, leveraging the trend for innovative projects and unique product designs.
2. Film and Entertainment - The film industry can leverage the celebration of British cinema by collaborating with artists to promote their films, curating film festivals, or creating interactive experiences around iconic movies.
3. Event Planning and Promotion - Event planners and marketers can take inspiration from flamboyant artistic productions to create immersive experiences, themed events, or viral marketing campaigns that captivate audiences.
