A compressed and amusing view of how a magazine is made

Here, (thanks to the magCulture blog), is a happily frenetic video portrayal of how an issue of the British magazine Little White Lies is made.

"We wanted to make a short film that captured some of the love, care and hand-crafted passion that goes into the making of an issue of LWLies. We produce six issues each year, and for the two month period that we're working on a particular issue, we totally immerse ourselves in the movie and in the production process. While we obviously embrace digital in all forms, first and foremost we're makers of honest, tangible and fine-smelling objects, and we hope that comes across in some way here.

We filmed this ourselves over the course of November/December 2010, and the film was edited for us by our friends at production company Archer's Mark.

Darren Aronofsky's musical collaborator Clint Mansell kindly offered us use of the track 'A Swan is Born' from his Black Swan soundtrack, and so we've called our short film 'A Magazine is Born'."

Little White Lies is published 6 times a year in London.
