Sony Soundville -> Make.Believe Campaign

This is part of Sony’s new ‘make.believe’ campaign, created by agency Fallon (UK). Whimsical, melodramatic and atypical are a few words that come to mind in order to describe this very well designed piece of cinematography. Filmed in the in small scenic Island town of Seydisfjordur this “ad” is completely captivating and engaging, and at [...]

Hasselblad -> H4D

Not too long ago I posted about the new Leica M9, now available for a cool 7K. I caught a lot of flack for that post on Facebook as the Leica (as I stated) is not the most economically sound decision to make when comparing to other cameras on the market… People wanted to re-enforce [...]

Timescapes Timelapse -> Mountain Light

This past August Tom@Timescapes.org filmed the above amazing time lapse video in California’s White Mountains and Yosemite with a Canon 5D2.

I look forward to seeing his full length [...]

I’ve Got You and You’ve Got Me – New Buffalo Remixed by Broken Social Scene from Karen Abad ♥s Dinosaurs. on Vimeo.

This video is full of great eye-candy -> city lights, stop motion, light painting, M&Ms dancing wildly… all to a peppy track from a great band (Death Cab for Cutie). It’s all happening. Definitely worth a view or two.

Side note: it sounds like Ross [...]

// BEKLEMEK 2 \\// EXPECT 2 // from VOLKAN ERGEN on Vimeo.

There is little information to be found on this art film, all I know is that it was filmed by Volkan Ergen in and around the city of Istanbul. I like the split screen effect and the well cropped scenery that sharpens and blurs [...]

Fragments from Atlantida -> Olga Mink 2009

Fragments from Atlantida (2009) from Olga Mink on Vimeo.

As this experimental art video triptych begins to unfold the effects, sounds and visuals become steadily more and more surreal. The artist toys around with time and space as if it were an alien musical code. I like how the volume and the pitch of sound relates [...]
