TIKA -> For Better Or For Worse

This nicely done documentary/music video for the Dutch indie band ‘Tika’ was directed by Victor Vroegindewiej. The short story carries a heavy mood as it follows along veteran actor Carel Struycken (The Adams Family, Star Trek, Het Paard van Sinterklaas) as he escapes society to reconnect with himself and nature.

Notes from YouTube:

“The film explores the increasing [...]

Move, Learn, Eat -> Rick Mereki

 

 

Move, learn, eat. Some of the most rewarding things we can do in life. Nicely produced and captured. I like the simple caption work and the overall rhythm of these short films. Fun stuff, worth checking out.

Notes from Vimeo:

“3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and [...]

Turin Brakes Video - Philip Bloom -> Plastic Bullet Filter

Turin Brakes: Ascension Day from Philip Bloom on Vimeo.

I thought this was interesting… World renowned film director and photographer/blogger, Philip Bloom, just released this music video that he shot with a Panasonic AF-101. The interesting part to me, is that he used the Plastic Bullet photo/video filter software made by Red Giant Software to add [...]

Dark Side of the Lens -> Astray Films

DARK SIDE OF THE LENS from Astray Films on Vimeo.

This is one of the more incredible examples of videography that I’ve have seen this year. Created by renowned photographer and bodyboarder Mickey Smith, he invites us into his world of ocean sports and his creative interpretation of it through photography and film. This is so [...]

Life Cycles -> Mountain Biking Teaser

Life Cycles OFFICIAL Trailer from Life Cycles on Vimeo.

This ‘Life Cycles’ teaser looks pretty amazing. The cinematography and soundtrack definitely gives it an edge that’s cuts through the clutter of other cycling films out there. Have a look.

Liquify! -> Aira

LIQUIFY! by Aira from Aira on Vimeo.

To me, this video captures the epitome of summer play in a short but sweet span of 1:23 seconds. Well captured, filled with great light, color and interesting aquatic moments that take me back to the days of my favorite summers on the Jersey Shore. A great view for [...]

OFFF Paris 2010 -> Julien Vallée

The talented Julien Vallée has some new motion design work on his portfolio site. This time, less focused on papercraft and more about quirky little life subtleties that seem to play up the old expression ‘less is more’ in a big way. As the video plays through each odd scene becomes a bit more surreal, [...]

Philip Bloom -> on Social Media

Philip Bloom / Social Media from Terry Wilson on Vimeo.

In the video above Philip Bloom discusses his use and overall take on ‘Social Media’. The two words actually make me cringe a little bit these days and I tend to avoid using them in conversation. People seem to get all charged up about the topic [...]

The Sandpit (NYC tilt-shift) -> Sam O’Hare

There is something wonderful about the contrast of tilt-shift, which makes everything look smaller or ‘toy like’, being applied to BIG NYC scenery. Sam O’Hare has captured some really fantastic HD NYC footage, from multiple vantage points with his Nikon D3. His shoot locations really resonate with me, I actually lived in those blurry buildings across the [...]

Sky from Philip Bloom on Vimeo.

The amazingly talented Philip Bloom has created yet another visual masterpiece filmed in Dubai over 5 days and nights. Using a Canon 7D, 2x5DmkII and one Panasonic GF1, his careful eye and skillful camera work are a pleasure to take in. I’ve been following him for a while and am [...]
