What would the world be like from an underground perspective ?

Here is the question that animator and director TU+ (Varathit Uthaisri) from Bangkok asked himself. And he gives us the answer in this very poetic, as well as intriguing, movie.

Keith strikes again !

After Bathtub IV, he offers us another tilt-shifting video, this time filmed in Sydney Harbor, which proves that Keith definitly masters the technique of tilt-shifting.

Bathtub is a personal project that will document 12 months of life in ‘Little Sydney’.

Pure eye-candy… again !

Social engineering

In this video (in french only), see how chatting on social networking tool can be not so harmless… One should always bear that in mind when publishing content about himself on the internet.

This is something like that (even more simple) that has been used by this year Twitter hacker, proving that you don’t need to be some kind or geek tech-savvy guy to become a hacker.

Pikapika light painting

Cedric — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 22:45:01 +0000

Tonight I felt that this blog lacks a good light painting video. So I watched a lot and found some interesting ones (I haven’t watched any for a long time). But for the moment, my fav is still the original “Pikapika the movie – Go ! Go ! Pikapika”.

A Pikapika is an abstract animation film made with flashlights. A series of photographs using long exposures are edited together to make them appear as an animation (stop-motion). You can find many informations about this technique on Pikapika blog.

The making-of of this movie is also available on Youtube.

Sand dancer

With a simple stick and a rake, sand artist Peter Donnelly from Christchurch, New Zealand, creates beautiful works of art that only last for as long as the ocean allows.

This video is an extract from the full movie “Sand Dancer” directed by Valerie Reid, from Force Five Films. You can view the full movie (10 minutes) here on Youtube.

The song is Sunshine Down by Tahi Richards.

Oi Va Voi : Everytime

Cedric — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 14:51:29 +0000

You’ve got paper ? You’ve got a shredding machine (scissors can work too, but it will be a little longer…). You can make a video !

This is how this inspiring video of the British band Oi Va Voi has been made : Every third frame of the footage was printed, shredded and shot three times blended with adjacent frames by different stripes configuration. A work done by Katarzyna Kijek and Przemysław Adamski.

There are a only few shots around about the making-of of this video because “the process itself was pretty boring so it didn’t come to our minds to document it” Katarzyna said. Boring ? I can believe it ! But the result is far from boring. A real pleasure for us.
