About This News Bytes Episode:

In this week’s Yahoo! News Bytes, Pamela Woon and the Digital Media Bureau take you behind the scenes at Frameline Fest to talk with James Franco, who portrays the late beat poet Allen Ginsberg in “Howl”.  Known for his roles in the Spiderman movies, “Milk” and the iconic series “Freaks and Geeks”, Franco is among the busiest men in Hollywood.  With upcoming roles in the prequel to “Planet of the Apes”, a starring role in “Eat Pray Love”, a recurring role on “General Hospital” and a teaching position at Yale University this Spring we will be seeing a lot more of Franco in 2010 and beyond.

Centering on the turbulent times surrounding the obscenity trial involving Ginsberg’s poem “Howl”, the movie  also features “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm, “Weeds” actress Mary-Louise Parker, and Jeff Daniels.  “Howl” is  slated for theatrical release in September 2010.

Given the central role that the TV spot plays in the Yahoo! Brand Revitalization that was launched in September of this year, we felt honored that Mike was going to put his own spin on it.  We felt it was appropriate that Mike would be interacting on an artistic level with the spot because he is a perfect embodiment of a Yahoo! user converging their personal world of individual expression with the world at large to create a dazzling experience.

In this exclusive “Behind The Scenes” look, we see Mike and his team realizing an idea from start to finish, all the work that went into the project and how this effort ultimately made for a very intriguing result.

And here’s a few words from Mike Relm on the experience…

My life has been pretty digital lately so I decided to put a project together that let me step away from the computer and get arts and craftsy, at least for part of the building process. The idea behind this piece was to use the turntable in two ways that are on opposite sides of the technical spectrum. One being video scratching, which at the moment is the most advanced thing you can do with a turntable. The second thing is the zoetrope, which is the origin of motion picture. Anyone who has taken a film class will recognize the Muybridge images!

This was so much fun to make, definitely one of the best production experiences I’ve had. Helps to have a kick-ass crew, a few good ideas, and a beautiful location. We got to shoot at the Regency Center in San Francisco, which was built exactly 100 years ago, in a room that not too many people get to step foot in.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this project possible–and stay tuned for more cool things coming soon!
