Nostalgia from Edgar Maguyon on Vimeo.
This dreamy video piece was filmed in and around the NYC area, most notably on the Hudson River overlooking the thousands of old pier pylons and the Jersey city financial district. This video is really fun to watch for me because I lived in Hoboken for 8 years and I [...]

I spotted this video on one of my favorite blogs Pinktentacle.com yesterday. It’s an interesting juxtaposition in regard to my post from last Monday “100 & 1 Faces -> Technology and Art merge with Physiognomy”. The topic of that post was on how technology has started to trend towards replicating the complexities of the human [...]

Augmented Reality Toys (Work in progress) from Frantz Lasorne on Vimeo.
The aim of this “controversial” project according to creator Frantz Lasorne is to make the frontier between video game and toy gaming progressively disappear by offering a new type of gaming experience linking both sides. I personally don’t feel like this merge is all that [...]

The Seed from Johnny Kelly on Vimeo.
Adobe smartly funded this student piece by motionographer Johnny Kelly in an effort to help promote their CS4 range of software. It’s a nice conglomerate of illustration and cut paper stop motion. The video is further enhanced by a bold color palette and an interesting soundtrack. I like the [...]

While My Guitar Gently Weeps from ed on Vimeo.
I was fortunate enough to see Jake Shimabukuro play live last Tuesday in Minneapolis. He’s pretty much the most talented Ukulele player to have ever walked this earth. Jake has played on the Late Night show with Conan O’Brien, recorded with artists Cyndi Lauper, Ziggy Marley and [...]

note: The original (and in my opinion more informative) Youtube video I posted called “iPhone OS 3.0 walkthrough” was removed by user (the above video is from Engadget). However, the new video does point out some flaws in the 3.0 build that relate to performance and lag time.
Finally the iPhone 3.0 update is here to save [...]

Audio alignment using Sonic Visualiser and MATCH from Chris Cannam on Vimeo.
After the the last couple of posts in regard to “motion tracking” technology I thought it would be fitting to mention my recent discovery of “audio alignment”. This technology makes it possible for multiple audio tracks to become easily analyzed and synced on [...]

NIN: The Making of the “Closer” Video from Nine Inch Nails on Vimeo.
Warning: This video contains some language that may not be acceptable for your workplace.
This video interests me mainly because of director Mark Romanek’s dissection of the creative process and his interpretation of it. I’m not the most loyal of NIN fans, nor did [...]

Glastonbury 2008 – Pi Interactive Installation from seeper on Vimeo.
In this video shot at the Glastonbury 2008 festival for contemporary performing arts (posted by Seeper) you can see how motion tracking can be used as an environmental aesthetic. In this interactive installation the use of multiple tracking devices enable multiple people to construct and control [...]

Still Moving from mustardcuffins on Vimeo.
The above short video portrays Tilt-Shift style shooting with motion tracking. Basically this means that you apply the same techniques as Tilt-Shift, combined with a motion that occurs not beyond the lens but motion that includes the lens. Very much like aiming a rifle at a target and tracking that [...]

powerlinerflyers from wes johnson on Vimeo.
Some things are just worth watching for the sake of pure enjoyment. This video by Wes Johnson was published about a month ago on Vimeo along with this simple statement:
“lucky to have my camera with as i passed by this tonight.”

L’homme 100 têtes by JUL&MAT from Julien Lassort on Vimeo.
This clever video by Julien Lassort caught my attention the other evening. Like him, I am fascinated by the science behind the human facial expression (also known as Physiognomy to researchers and scientists). Our faces have hundreds of muscles called mimetic muscles that enable us to [...]

Footage posted by radlasers, filmed at the Kitty Cat Klub in Minneapolis:
The above timelessly dressed gentleman is none other than “Lonsome” Dan Kase (from Southern Michigan, now living in Minneapolis). Last Friday I attended Spot Art’s March 13th Art gallery show called “Spot Luck”. I was delighted to see that Dan Kase was on the [...]

PaperTweet3d: Augmented Reality T-shirt from squidder on Vimeo.
Today I was fortunate enough to share some fantastic Sushi over lunch with two of my friends. All of us being involved with digital creativity/marketing, we naturally found ourselves gabbing on-and-on about all of our latest digital discoveries. My friend brought up her discovery of a live [...]

I first heard this documentary was coming on Pitchfork.tv a few weeks ago and was pretty excited to see it. I have been an Elliott Smith fan for years (since the release of “Roman Candle”, 1994). Elliot Smith is considered to be by many and myself, one of the patron saints of the indie music [...]
