Title: Eleventh Hour Novella
Post by: Grind King Rims on November 15, 2015, 09:23:02 PM

Was rewatching the British skate video Eleventh Hour, and at the beginning it says it is, "Based on the original novella 'La Grisaille Londonienne by Henri Roi de Ruisseau'," which as google tells me means, "The London painting executed entirely in shades of grey or of another neutral greyish colour" by King Henri de Ruisseau.

But I can't find any trace of this novella or even Henri Roi de Ruisseau. Plenty of King Henry's, but can't find any King Henri de Ruisseau.

Anyone know more about it?

Originally, it was supposed to be the London based Grey Magazine video. Most of the photos in Grey are black and white. Grey editor Henry Kingsford = King Henri de Ruisseau?

That'd be my guess anyway.

Makes perfect sense to me, I reckon that's it. Nice one man, cheers.
