THE CRUNCH
Miles Buckle's Instagram feed is a visual mashup of cinema and video games, recreating iconic scenes from films like The Shining and Network using game engines and assets. The feed features a 'stilted comedic style' recreation of the 'Here's Johnny' scene from The Shining in The Sims 2, and a low-poly Peter Finch reciting his Oscar-winning monologue from Network. The feed is described as a 'parallel universe' of film
Buckle's work includes 'orthographic experiments' that use the landscape of SimCity 2000 to tell the opening sequence of Twin Peaks. The feed is described as a 'parallel universe' where cinema's greats are reimagined in the visual language of video games. The feed is a collection of 'perfect fever dreams' that can't and won't exist outside of these short clips.
