Thomas Blanchard -> Slow-Mo BMX/Motion

Pi from Thomas Blanchard on Vimeo.

Taken at 1000-2000 fps this 550D slow motion test footage is packed with some nice filters, motion tracking and various other bits of eye candy. There is a lot going on, but it’s so well done that it all works beautifully together, especially with the moody and peaceful soundtrack. Not your [...]

Cry Baby: The Pedal That Rocks The World -> Joey Tosi

Cry Baby: The Pedal That Rocks The World from Joey Tosi on Vimeo.

This is a great video documentary on one of my personal favorite music related inventions of all times, the cry baby effect pedal. Myself being a guitar player, collector and overall enthusiast for 24 years now, must admit that there are very few [...]

Radiohead -> 'Feral' Unofficial Video

RADIOHEAD | FERAL | THE KING OF LIMBS from steven murashige on Vimeo.

I really enjoy this mesmerizing kaleidoscope effect. Usually a continuous, heavy effect similar to this one would tire me out pretty quickly, but in this case it really pulls a lot of life out of the music. Worth a view and a listen. Directed, [...]

Coalition of the Willing -> Coalitionfilm

Coalition Of The Willing from coalitionfilm on Vimeo.

24 talented motion artists have come together for a good cause… not much else to say. Have a look.

Thinking is Fun -> Davis Silis

Thinking Is Fun from Davis Silis on Vimeo.

Brilliantly ridiculous. Well executed retro style complete with old diagrams and even the appearance of a cigar and martini. What else do you need to help conjure up some really smashing ideas? This is definitely my brand of humor.

Lumitectura -> Barno

Lumitectura from barno on Vimeo.

This is a pretty interesting technique. There are up to 50 different masks applied to the image of this building that are switched off and on revealing different lighting events that occurred during the shoot time. The natural light changes become an overtly refreshing effect that keeps time with the music (music by [...]

Exterior Lighting -> Iluma Mall, Singapore

crystal mesh from autokolor on Vimeo.

The Iluma shopping mall in Singapore has recently been wrapped in 3000 high tech polycarbonate modules that are illuminated by fluorescent tubes, making for a truly amazing effect. The polycarbonate modules are geometrically shaped like crystals, giving the outside skin of the building an interesting scaly appearance on top of the [...]

Zena Holloway -> Underwater Photography

Underwater photography has been very trendy in the past year or two and I have seen a lot of amazing examples of it. A few months ago the woman’s clothing store ‘Anthropology’ photographed their entire catalog with underwater photography. Has the trend plateaued I wonder? The examples posted here lead me to believe that underwater [...]

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 [...]

Visual Scenography -> Digital Slaves [Institubes]

Digital Slaves [Institubes] from Digital Slaves on Vimeo.

I spotted this video the other day as I was browsing “special effects” on Vimeo and was pretty amazed at how far projector technology has come. The sharpness and accuracy on these circular panels is mesmerizing to say the least. Powered by 4 HD projectors and 60 mapped [...]

The Making of the “Closer” Video -> NIN

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

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 [...]

Alone in Tokyo – by Philip Bloom (shot in HD)

Alone in Tokyo HD from Philip Bloom on Vimeo.

Philip Bloom is a director out of the UK. I stumbled upon this video months ago and wanted to bring it back again b/c I love it so much. His HD work is packed with vivid urban shots, all masterfully designed and composed. His sensitivity to light [...]
