Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse Time Lapse -> William Castleman

Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse from William Castleman on Vimeo.

For those of us who weren’t able to see the moon last night because of cloud cover or the need to sleep, we’re lucky to have folks out there like University of Florida professor William Castleman who put forth the effort to capture this rare winter solstice full lunar [...]

Super Slow Motion [Water] -> Rickard Bengtsson

More Super Slow Motion [Water] – 550D from Rickard Bengtsson on Vimeo.

One of the more amazing capabilities that affordable digital video has brought to us is super-slow motion via super-high frame rate captures. Rickard Bengtsson has spent some time playing with puddles, sand pits and various human acrobatics… all captured at frame rates as high [...]

The LightLine of Gotham -> Architectural Projection Mapping

The LightLine of Gotham from seeper on Vimeo.

This is a very nice example of architectural projection mapping, corporately sponsored by Honda and shot at the Frank Gehry designed IAC HQ building in Manhattan. I really love this technology and I believe that we’ve only scratched the surface of it’s full potential and end-use.

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.

Notes taken from Vimeo:

The “official” Life Cycles teaser starring… Graham Agassiz, Mike Hopkins, Matt Hunter, Cam McCaul, Riley [...]

Seaweed (lo-fi video experiments) -> Tell No One

Seaweed from Tell No One on Vimeo.

I love to come across surprisingly innovative and creative techniques that are the product of playful and open experimentation. Too often do we try to mimic current/existing trends and forget that there are new, fresh trends out there to be discovered and invented. I’m sure this technique by London [...]

Hong Kong Time Lords -> Euan Preston

Hong Kong Time Lords from Euan Preston on Vimeo.

This is a fantastic piece by Euan Preston and Fergus Dingle (Pukka Films tiny.cc/dnf3z). A combination of slow motion and time lapse effects taken in Hong Kong move us through busy urban scenery and series of stunning night shots. Shot with a 7D and a variety of [...]

Step Into the Sensory Box -> ENVISION

ENVISION : Step into the sensory box from SUPERBIEN on Vimeo.

The above masterpiece was created by ‘SuperBien’ (Alex Mestrot and Tom Chosson) based in Paris, France. The mapping itself is beautifully accurate and creative, the colors are fresh… but the animation FX are to me, what is most mind-blowing. Great particle animation and sound design [...]

Bike to the Beach -> Mike Matas

This is another fine example of a ‘Lifetracking’ time lapse video by Mike Matas while taking a trip to the beach on his bicycle via Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. The video was shot in HD with a Canon 5D Mark II mounted to his front bike basket. Great scenery and color throughout the [...]

Denver to Singapore (and back) in 5 minutes -> David DAngelo

As our mobile technologies become more and more advanced we are afforded the ability to document our experiences at an even greater degree than ever before. No longer will a few pictures be our only source of nostalgia when referencing any given event from our past. Here we see David DAngelo record his trip from [...]

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 [...]

Video Mapping -> NuFormer Digital Media

Projection on Buildings from NuFormer Digital Media on Vimeo.

This is another gorgeous example of 3D video mapping projection by Netherlands based design firm NuFormer Digital Media. This is probably the best example that I have seen of object projection on a building’s exterior. There is one point at which hundreds of tiny balls are are [...]

Factor Films -> ‘They Came From’ Teaser

(int) Factor Films presents THEY CAME FROM… from factor films on Vimeo.

Yes, I’m aware it’s July and I’m posting a snowboard video… This is a teaser video by Factor Films for a new snowboarding video called ‘They Came From…’. It appeared seven days ago on Vimeo and I have been hesitant to post it because [...]
