Nathan Johnson - Official Page

No one has ever accused Nathan Johnson of taking the easy way out. The film composer, designer and director has made a name for himself, in part, by producing videos and other creative projects that require a mind-numbing amount of monotonous drudgery to pull off, but result in something magical and one-of-a-kind.

His latest mind-blower is a visually twisted video for the Lucius song “Gone Insane,” a stop-motion film full of stunning effects and zero CGI. The whole thing, inspired by facial dysmorphia, was painstakingly pieced together over the course of a week using old-fashioned makeup, prosthetics and more than 20,000 photographs.

Little, Brown and Company held a competition to redesign the cover of Infinite Jest to celebrate the 20th anniversary edition. There was no way The Made Shop wasn’t going to get in on that.

We called our design “THE YUSHITYU MIMETIC RESOLUTION CARTRIDGE”

If you haven’t read it yet, inside the story there is an actual film cartridge called ‘Infinite Jest’ that functions as a sort of “MacGuffin” around which all the stories unfold. It’s a piece of media so completely entertaining that it’s lethal — once you start watching it all you want to do is continue forever neglecting everything else.

Now 20 years later, the novel ‘Infinite Jest’ itself has ironically achieved an oddly similar sort of iconic cultural aura — as a novel, but also as a physical media object itself.
