SCINTILLATION from Xavier Chassaing on Vimeo.
It’s not everyday you come across a new artistic effect or technique so disruptive that it makes you stop dead in your tracks. Leaving you with nothing but a thick sense of wonder and curiosity. This short HD film called “Scintillation” by Xavier Chassaing did just that to myself and [...]

I find the above commentary by author Steven Berlin Johnson to be pretty thought provoking. Recently, I’ve started to drink decaffeinated tea during the day in replace of coffee. The main reason I decided to do this is because the caffeine overload coming from my 5 cup a day addiction was starting to wreck my [...]

Even though the outside appearance of the “air trees” seems to be right out of a mid 40′s sci-fi flick, it’s what happens on the inside of them that counts the most. Right? This interesting design/concept from Madrid provides a way to revitalize and repopulate urban environments with fresh air, moisture, entertainment and energy. Perfect [...]

Mykonos from Grandchildren on Vimeo.
I just caught wind of this new Fleet Foxes stop motion video called “Mykonos” on Vimeo. The track is reminiscent of early Crosby, Stills & Nash accompanied by a soothing story told through the animation genius of a cut-paper gone cubist artist/illustrator/designer (Jesse Brown). The earthy palette and moody [...]

Boy Eats Drum Machine at Kush Carpets from The Penny Jam on Vimeo.
I have just started to crack open this Portland based music-video-podcast-episode conglomerate and I’m pretty blown away already. The footage has an honest and raw/real feel to it that really helps to set the tone of each unique space (grocery stores, carpet storefronts…) [...]

It’s no secret that winter months in Minnesota are long and harsh. Going on my fifth year here, I have started to figure out a few ways to mentally cope with the realities of the relentless sub-zero climate. A few mental outlets that come to mind: planning a vacation, starting new projects (which [...]

The older you get the tougher it gets to stumble upon great new music. At least for me (and no, I’m not that old). I do have less time to hang out at the record store or surf Myspace and Pitchforkmedia.com because of my hobbyist photography habit, recording weird music habit, riding my bike [...]

Nice Clean White from DaBrainkilla on Vimeo.
DaBrainkilla is a graphic designer and music video director based in France. I was instantly drawn in by the relentless pace at which the beautiful mix of urban and rural imagery flows throughout the piece. Nicely edited and littered with unexpected transitions. The music compliments the visuals in a [...]

Suddenly from Magnus Engsfors on Vimeo.
This short video was shot with one Canon Eos 5D and a single external ProFoto the artist was hanging from two ropes stretched across the scene. Laced with interesting particle effects and a trippy soundtrack this is a very inspiring watch. Post more Magnus!
