Swirls of Inspiration by Pcoskun
This location in the southwest was one of the most unique and incredible areas I have ever visited. Between the bizzare rock formations and varied colors in the rocks themselves, it was almost difficult trying to find something worthwhile to photograph. At one moment, I felt a little uninspired. While this area is indeed amazing, wandering around during the mid day sun does not make the landscape look very appealing. However, I took note of these swirls in the stones and watched as clouds began to move in. I walked back to this location hoping the clouds would be right over and create enough interesting patterns to contrast with the swirling rocks. I knew it was going to be a perfect candidate for a black and white image and imediatly got my inspiration and excitement back. Just minutes later, the skies cleared apart and left big blue skies above. Luckily, the clouds reappeared just in time for sunset... via 500px http://bit.ly/1d8H90k
From the Mists by JustinGrimm
I'm not sure about the rest of you, but as a landscape photographer I have created a "bucket list" of rare shots I dream of capturing. This is not a list of specific exotic locations I wish to shoot though. Instead, it is a list of rare combinations of light, weather conditions, and natural formations that I am constantly on the lookout for. This misty hoar frost scene taken from the beautiful Bow Lake of the Canadian Rockies is the first time I've managed to witness one of these very specific combination of elements. Because of that, it is probably my favourite image I've ever captured. Many things needed to come together for conditions like this to occur, and if you are lucky they may happen for a few days, or most likely only hours over the course of a year. An extremely cold weather front pushed it's way through the mountains early this winter season, before the lakes had managed to freeze over. If this cold front brought snow, the incredibly detailed and fragile hoar frost would have been hidden. If the lake had been frozen over, the mist from the open warmer water would not have added the much needed humidity in the air needed for the frost to form. Without a break of the clouds and fog, the light wouldn't have hit the peak or foreground. If I wasn't out at an epic mountainous location, well then this wouldn't be one of my bucket list shots! A lot of things needed to happen, you get the picture. What made this morning even sweeter is that it was spent with two of the most talented photographers and friends I know, Erin Babnik and Ted Gore, on the last day of their short trip up to my Canadian stomping grounds. Being from the warmer areas of the US, and not having the extra layer of natural back-bacon insulation on their bodies, meant they were a tad bit colder then I was on this -25/-30 celsius morning. Even with my shoulder dipped in ice water, my snow-pants crusted with a layer of ice, and my damn toe warmers failing to heat up, I was distracted enough to barely even notice anything outside of my viewfinder. I shot and composed images continuously for the 3 hours we spent out here, and managed to capture this fleeting moment when the peak stood out from the heavy mists. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and that I could accurately convey this magical combination of conditions through my image. Thanks for looking! via 500px http://bit.ly/1GQiZ6V

Frigid by scottsmorra
Early morning light at Borax Hot Springs in the Alvord Desert of Oregon. The extremely cold air temperature helped create a thick layer of hoarfrost on the grasses surrounding the hot spring. The air temperature that morning was 5 degrees F and the hot spring water was 180 degrees F. The quietness of this area was something that caught me by surprise. The only sounds I heard that morning were the occasional bubbles rising in the hot spring. This made for a very peaceful and relaxing morning. I'm now on Facebook!

The Calm by PerriSchelat
This year Lake McDonald in Glacier NP, MT, froze over completely for the first time since 2007 and before that 1997. So it doesn't happen very frequently. The lowest temperature this past Winter was recorded in February at -22. I went to Glacier to see the frozen lake in March. I was hoping I'd find some open water so I could photograph Glacier's famous colorful rocks. I found some open water by a creek outlet. It would freeze over depending on how cold it got during the night. I arrived late at this location that I had scouted the day before. The sun rose at 7:30, but it took at least another hour for the sun to rise over the mountain range. The sky was cloudy and I waited through a snow shower and thunder. I really didn't think I'd get any nice light. Finally the mountain lit up for just a few minutes before the clouds moved in again. Weather really changes quickly in this mountain setting. via 500px http://bit.ly/1GeKzMk

The Little Cabin by terenceleezy
www.terenceleezy.com | Facebook | Flickr Headed to Lost Lake earlier today with Tula Top and Justin Poe. Also met Ben Coffman and Chip MacAlpine shooting stars and milkyway while we were there. The skies were totally clear this morning and as luck has it.. 30 mins before sunrise, fog started rolling in and covered the mountain and we never saw the mountain again. Alas. As usual, Master Justin Poe got the shot of the day with mountain reflections and all the goodies. I tried doing some telephoto stuff as the fog was rolling in and got this pic of this little cabin that I thought was kinda cool before it was engulfed by fog.

The Accidental Tourist by MilesMorganPhotography
Finally getting around to dealing with images from the fall..... of 2012. Taken on a fantastic day out with my American Idol Ryan ZeDyar and his fiancé Candace. This was the first time I got to spend any real time with the two of them together, and it was extremely touching to see the beauty of their relationship and its a pleasure to have watched it grow since this day. It's also AMAZING to see how much Candace has grown as a photographer in just a couple of years. I seem to get worse. Anyway, I know some of you are going to think that these leaves look like they were placed there. I would NEVER move leaves for an image. Except for this time. And then there was that time at Punchbowl. And the rest of the times I've shot in autumn. But except for those times, I am APPALLED that you would even suggest it. Some of you might recognize this location from my "Hump Rock" image. In fact, this autumn snap came first. We were just out exploring and following some creeks around and happened across this area. I usually only like to explore things from my couch, so this was a rather lucky find. via 500px http://bit.ly/1FQvONC

In 1722, Johann Sebastian Bach began one of his most ambitious works: a 24-part comprehensive guide to the keyboard, demonstrating the musical qualities of every major and minor key. The first part, C Major, saw Bach create two masterful compositions that explore musical structure in very different ways. My film draws inspiration from minimalist sculpture and graphical notation, an alternative to traditional sheet music notation that evolved in the 1950s and often involves abstract symbols and experimental visual codes.

A trip through an electric desert, Dry Lights unfolds in an imagined environment of cacti and canyons, moving from hidden caves to lonely cliffs along pulsating rivers of light. This experimental film lies somewhere between a site-specific installation and a performance, where choreographed lights meet organic landscapes. Like an imaginary city flickering in the dark, the lights beacon fragments of vague memories - faded moments, experiences, and topographies. A world in an erratic state of flux that seems to evade any grasp of clear control plays host to constantly alternating physical and mental landscapes. Moving without a destination in the dead hours of night, mesmerising, intermittent apparitions illuminate their surroundings, allowing personal narratives to breed. Rising to the technical challenge of creating the foundation for this full 3D film almost entirely on my own, I partnered with composer Thomas Vaquié to set the stage for a singular universe to emerge.

Korean artist Do Ho Suh draws attention to the ways viewers occupy and inhabit public space. Interested in the malleability of space in both its physical and metaphorical manifestations, Suh constructs site-specific installations that question the boundaries of identity. His work explores the relation between individuality, collectivity, and anonymity (Miwon Kwon - The Other Otherness: The Art of Do Ho Suh). This film shows some of Suh’s artworks displayed in the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan. The exhibition was titled PERFECT HOME. * Executive Producer: Doho Suh Producer: Paul Choi Production Assistant: Hiromi Kurosawa, Kenzo Kodama Director, Cinematographer & Editor: Nils Clauss Steadicam Operator: Wonho Son Assistant Camera: Sungil Lee Graphic Design: In-ah Shin Music: “like caustic lights bending backwards” by Offthesky * List of exhibits in order of appearance: – 348 West 22nd Street, New York, NY 10011, USA - Apt. a, Corridors and Staircases (Kanazawa Version, 2011-2012) – Seoul Home / Seoul Home / Kanazawa Home (2002-2012) – Wielandstr. 18, 12159, Berlin, Germany-3 Corridors (2012) – Fallen Star - 1/5th Scale (2008-2012) – Home within Home - 1/11th Scale Prototype (2009) All artworks are copyright protected by Do Ho Suh * www.nilsclauss.com http://bit.ly/1Bec2Gp http://bit.ly/1eiskZOwww.nilsclauss.com http://bit.ly/1Bec2Gp http://bit.ly/1eiskZO

Angry Dimitrios by Atha_Pana
5 kms eastwards of the pittoresque village/town Gythion, you can find this shipwreck Dimitrios. Composition of three photos, the vessel, the sky and the thunders... some moving filter on the foreground, colour changed and so on... Πέντε χιλιόμετρα ανατολικά του Γυθείου, το μυστήριο ναυάγιο που αφορά το πλοίο «Δημήτριος» έχει γίνει σήμερα ο τουριστικός μύθος της περιοχής. Κι όχι άδικα, αφού βρίσκεται σε μια από τις πιο γραφικές παραλίες στην περιοχή Βαλτάκι, του Δήμου Ευρώτα. Η παρουσία του έχει «γεννήσει» πολλές ιστορίες. Μια θεωρία μιλάει για λαθρεμπόριο τσιγάρων μεταξύ Ιταλίας και Τουρκίας, που διεκόπη εξαιτίας μιας καταιγίδας με αποτέλεσμα το καράβι να πέσει σε ξέρες. Μία άλλη αναφέρει πως το πλοίο- φάντασμα- άγνωστης ιδιοκτησίας αναγκάστηκε να προσδέσει στο λιμάνι του Γυθείου λόγω ασθένειας του καπετάνιου του. Σύμφωνα με τους κατοίκους της περιοχής το φορτηγό «Δημήτριος» προσάραξε εκεί από τον Δεκέμβριο του 1981 αφού εγκαταλείφθηκε από τους ιδιοκτήτες του καθώς είχε παρουσιάσει οικονομικά προβλήματα, αλλά και μηχανικά, τα οποία το ακινητοποίησαν αρχικά στο λιμάνι του Γυθείου. Σύμφωνα με το βιβλίο «Τα ναυάγια στις ελληνικές θάλασσες» του αείμνηστου επίτιμου Αρχηγού του Λιμενικού Σώματος, Χρήστου Ντούνη αναφέρει ότι «το πλοίο «Δημήτριος» (πρώην Κlintholm) μήκους 67μετρων ήταν ιδιοκτησία των Αδελφών Μολλάρη κατά 76,75% και των Αδελφών Ματσινού κατά 23,25%. Το πλοίο είχε καταπλεύσει έκτακτα στο Γύθειο την 4η Δεκεμβρίου 1980 λόγω ασθένειας του πλοιάρχου και της ανάγκης εισαγωγής του σε νοσοκομείο. Το σκάφος ήταν πλαγιοδεστό εσωτερικό του λιμένα Γυθείου. Τον Ιούνιο του 1981 το σκάφος εξακολουθούσε να παραμένει στην ίδια θέση, αλλά ειδοποιήθηκαν από τη λιμενική αρχή οι πλοιοκτήτες ότι το σκάφος κατέστη επικίνδυνο λόγω επόπτης των κάβων, ενώ είχε πάρει κλίση προς τα δεξιά από την εισροή υδάτων στα κύτη του. Από την λιμενική αρχή ζητήθηκε η μεθόρμιση του σκάφους εκτός λιμένα σε ασφαλές αγκυροβόλιο. Όμως δεν υπήρξε ανταπόκριση εκ μέρους των πλοιοκτητών μέχρι τις 9 Νοέμβριο που λόγω των δυσμενών καιρικών συνθηκών το σκάφος παρασύρθηκε από το αγκυροβόλιο του. Όμως στις 23 Δεκεμβρίου 1981 παρασύρθηκε πάλι και προσάραξε στη σημερινή του θέση του λακωνικού κόλπου βορειανατολικά του Γυθείου». Άγρια Ομορφιά Σήμερα, το Ναυάγιο του Γυθείου- όπως το λένε οι κάτοικοι της περιοχής- μαγνητίζει τα βλέμματα των επισκεπτών και δημιουργεί εικόνες απαράμιλλης ομορφιάς. Αν λοιπόν ταξιδέψετε σε τούτη την απάνεμη πλευρά της Πελοποννήσου, νοτιοανατολικά της Σπάρτης, θα συναντήσετε μοναδικές εικόνες. Το Γύθειο με τα πολύχρωμα νεοκλασικά, ουζερί, το κατάφυτο νησάκι Κρανάη και φυσικά τις γύρω αμμουδιές, αποτελεί έναν από τους πιο όμορφους ανοιξιάτικους και καλοκαιρινούς προορισμούς που συνδυάζει περιηγήσεις στη θάλασσα και εκδρομές στη γραφική Μάνη Text from ethnos.gr via 500px http://bit.ly/1IPBvfD

The Forest's Awakening - 森の覚醒 by EliaLocardi
There’s nothing better than spending a morning all alone in the Sagano Bamboo Forest near Kyoto, listening to the soft rustling sounds of tall stalks and leaves as the sway gently in the breeze. On a clear morning, the light shines brilliantly though the tangle of beautiful green, making the forest seem as though it’s illuminated from within. It’s a truly extraordinary place to be.

A music film by Kristof Brandl and shot by Christophe Collette that questions our perception of reality and memory. Ghostly and compelling images draw the viewer into a conflict that repeats itself. After losing everything, material possessions, love, and perhaps even sanity, a robot injects the male character with a futuristic drug that lets him re-live precious moments that once made him feel alive. Traveling back to memories frozen in time, our character wishes to make the past his future. * Director - Kristof Brandl Starring - Jasmina Parent and Ryon Everett Cinematographer - Christophe Collette Camera Assistant - Jacques Bernier Electro - Hugo Roy Gripping - Cody Larocque and Dustan Mcbain Stunt Coordination - Alex Cadieux and Martin Williams Production Assistant - Stephane Petrisor Visual Effects / Animation - SHED (shedmtl.com) VFX Superviser - Sylvain Lebeau Colour Correction - Charles-Étienne Pascal Sound Design - Mathieu Morin / La Majeur (lamajeure.com) Video Producer - Vlad Cojocaru Executive Producer - Sach Baylin-Stern Production Company - Antler Inc.

Conrad Milster, Pratt Institute’s chief engineer, has worked in the Brooklyn power plant nearly his entire adult life. Starting as a mechanic in 1958, he later became one of only four chief engineers in the plant’s 127-year history, taking over the official duties in 1965. He’s been there ever since. For the last six decades, Milster (now 79 years old) has lovingly maintained the nineteenth century steam engines that provide heat and hot water to Pratt’s campus. “We have our hands full,” says Milster. “If the plant stops in the winter, Pratt stops.” In addition, Conrad is the person behind the infamous “Pratt Cats,” responsible for the 12-14 felines that wander the campus and call the steam plant home. An important figure in Pratt’s history, Milster has extended his impact on the Pratt community through a generous gift—the Phyllis and Conrad Milster Endowed Scholarship—that provides scholarships in perpetuity to students in Pratt’s Industrial Design program. The scholarship is named for Milster and his late wife, Phyllis, who passed away in 2011. — Filmed by Dustin Cohen, Autumn Eakin, and Christine Ng. Edited by Saela Davis.

Trillium Chopped Down by eyeofalens
Trillium Chopped Down ( please view on Black for optimal Pop! ) Stay up to date at with the latest at Visit EyeOfAlens I couldn't return to Oregon & not venture to Trillium again. Most images from here are taken back further & the wider view of the lake, but quite frankly thats been done so many times it just doesn't do it for me . Sure there are some elements in this id rather not have & could clone out, but would rather show it as it is. Now this tree which I'm assuming was NOT done by the park services, as I simply cant imagine them chopping it like this & just leaving it. So either it was pure vanadalsim or perhaps a photographer thought it would make for a good added foreground ( No I did not chop it down ) but made use of it ! even sat on it at one point to just suck it all in. I have managed to capture Mt Hood this time from a number of locations & one in particular I'm excited about as I don't believe I have ever seen an image captured from before. via 500px http://bit.ly/1Fa24tt

This film made by I Am Los Angeles originally was published by the New York Times. During summer breaks, my dad, who worked as a librarian, would bring home Westerns on VHS tape and we’d watch them together. I was fascinated and intrigued by the iconic cowboy characters living out an understated yet dramatic, high-stakes existence against such a spartan, other-worldly backdrop. Sure, much of this was a Hollywood fantasy, but the west truly was once the land of cowboys and indians. And now, in a relatively short period of time, things have changed quickly. Instead of sprawling ranches dotted with quiet loner cowboy types, the landscape is now largely populated by homogeneous residential communities and big box retailers. Perhaps out of a desire for life to seem simpler, and less encumbered by the lifestyle inherent to all our modern conveniences, I went looking for the closest thing I could find to that cowboy from the silver screen. This is how I happened upon Gary Leffew, an old-school yet surprisingly gregarious rodeo cowboy with some profound things to share about his philosophy on life and his sport. After meeting Mr. Leffew, I was haunted by this feeling that he represents an era that is slowly disappearing and becoming part of the region’s history. It was this feeling that urged me to make a character-driven short film that would encapsulate his character, experiences with the sport of rodeo, and general outlook on life.

Moondial by ErinBabnik
Hey, guess what…I now have a Facebook page! Stop by and click “Like” to stay in touch: Erin Babnik Photography And have you seen my new video? It's only 90 seconds long, but it packs in some spectacular behind-the-scenes timelapse clips and images, along with the resulting photographs, photos by Enrico Fossati, and lots of information about our upcoming workshop in the Dolomites. Yep! All of that in 90 seconds! ------- About this photo: I feel as though I got this photo only because I managed to slink into the location under the cover of night, while Murphy and his Law weren’t looking. A month before I shot this, I worked the same composition for three sunrises in a row, and each time something went horribly wrong. I’d say it was a comedy of errors, except that I was distinctly unamused by it all. It all seemed so easy at first. With only the light of the moon and my headlamp to aid me, I stumbled upon this composition one morning after wandering away from my friends who were working a field of mud tiles further to the east. I was pretty bleary-eyed and still not thinking clearly at that early hour, but when I knelt down to investigate these curving cracks, I instantly noticed the alignment with the moon. So I plopped down my tripod and went to work. I had no idea at the time that this composition would become a “white whale” for me. During that first attempt to shoot it, my remote shutter release developed a short and wouldn’t stop taking pictures all on its own. The next morning, in a sleep-deprived stupor, I neglected to tighten the panning knob on my ballhead and then unwittingly swiveled the camera out of position. And the morning after that, I abandoned the comp midway through sunrise to chase some meager clouds—only to watch those clouds sail backwards (i.e. towards the west!), over to where I had originally wanted them. I could almost hear the clouds laughing at me. Grrrrrr. Oh well, at least I learned a lot about shooting this composition during those three ill-fated attempts. The first thing I learned was that it was possible to catch the moon setting into the dip between the peaks. I also learned that there is a small window of time when the warm ambient light picks out the textures on the mud tiles at dawn. And just as important, I learned how little wiggle room I had with this composition before it would fall apart; the slightest changes in height, lateral positioning, or angling would wreak havoc on different features of its forms. It was so tricky to find that exact place where the forms gelled that I twice decided to leave my tripod set up overnight while I returned to camp a mile away. My friends decided to do the same, since they were working equally delicate compositions. Yep, we got everything dialed in and then left thousands of dollars of gear unattended in the middle of the desert! (Lest you should think that we’re crazy, I should note that this is a very remote location, so our biggest worry was that a coyote might use a tripod as a fire hydrant. And, okay, we’re also crazy.) Alas, none of those outings produced a shot that I wanted to process; so, armed with the observations and practice from them, I planned my next trip a month later. I worked out when the moon would be in the right place again and got there as soon as my schedule would allow, which meant rolling in well after dark, with only hours to spare. This time I traveled with David Kingham, whose impressive driving skills got us down some sixty miles of dirt road at night so that we could catch the sunrise (of course an expert night photographer would also have masterful nighttime off-road driving skills!). The fourth time was the charm in this case. That morning’s sky was glorious, and our stealthy nighttime arrival allowed me to sneak up on this view and catch it looking awesome at long last. -------- Would you like to join me on an adventure? Well here’s the good news…I will be conducting a workshop in the Italian Dolomites with co-leader Enrico Fossati. If a trip to Italy during the second week of July for some sweet action sounds appealing, be sure to get in touch with me so I can add you to the workshop mailing list.

Fall by MAPhoto
After a 3-hour rock-hopping and steep brush-crawling effort in the dark to bring some friends up to this unique vantage point of Fitz Roy Peak on this morning we were treated to an even more unique event, which occurred in the first five minutes of sunrise: The glacier in the distance frequently avalanches into the lake, dropping roaring icefalls and bergs into the water more than 2000 feet below and such an event happened to come along on this morning right in the middle of our shoot, looking much like a waterfall cascading into the lake at anything short of the highest resolutions. The Icefall added an even more dreamlike quality to this spectacular landscape. After all the Patagonia shots these last few weeks following the fall colors down there, I was glad to have such an unusual capture. Admittedly there was more than a small amount of post-production to get the sky and atmosphere in back of this image, something I am generally more reserved with, but here I really felt the rare scene could benefit from a few extra touches, just to be forthcoming. Everything else in the scene comes from a single exposure at f/20. via 500px http://bit.ly/1PBThTP

With its futuristic skyline and sprawling network of streets, subway lines, and highways, Shanghai represents not just China’s unbridled dynamism, but also the rapidly maturing global economy. The bustling city of Shanghai, however, holds a further, complex and equally exhilarating narrative nestled at the feet of its towering skyscrapers. ‘Walk in Shanghai’ tells the story of the lively, multifaceted and above all else, very human experience unfolding at the street level of this massive city. To guide you through the streetscape is JT Singh. As he leads the viewer on his curious adventure through central Shanghai, he glances around corners, weaves through crowds, and with a barely perceptible pause here or an impulsive turn there, stumbles into the unhinged entropy that flows through the hidden alleys, accidental views, and captivating scenes embedded in the city’s vibrant street life. The peculiar reversal of the city’s movement against his own distinguishes his story from that of the other 24 million people taking 24 million walks in Shanghai. It’s through a heightened focus on one man’s seemingly unstructured journey that we discover the ultimate protagonist of this story: the transcendent power of using your legs for discovering a city. ‘Walk in Shanghai’ is only an introductory tour of Shanghai’s urban streets. The remaining story of Shanghai’s suspense and beauty can only be experienced in person, and through using your legs as the main mode of transport. There is another sub-message creatively contextualized in the video. As you read this, cities all over the developing world are emulating American suburban sprawl design by building their cities to accommodate cars, not people. This is not the path to sustainable and healthy urban communities. Shanghai isn’t perfect, but the city’s downtown maintains its extensive walkable neighborhoods through a historic preservation of its urban fabric. Above all, JT Singh’s playful artistry is a celebration of the beauty of walking in cities. A visceral pleasure made possible by walkable and human scale urban environments. Walk on!

“I move, therefore I am.” ―Haruki Murakami The world around us never stands still and it is this motion that gives Earth life. Without this movement, our planet could not exist. Simply put, movement breathes life into our world. Few of us have ever stopped to think about the importance of this constant motion — stop to bask in its simplicity and beauty. Far too few of us take a moment to see our universe in motion. Join me throughout the night and watch the perpetual movement of the skies above and the earth below. Movement is everywhere and at night, it comes alive — from the rotation of the stars, planets and galaxies above to the motion of cars, lights and people in our cities, our world at night dances before our eyes. Time-lapse photography is a unique tool that can be used to capture this movement. In this short film, I explore how our world is in constant motion and how we move together with it. To help capture this, I used various time-lapse equipment that moves the camera on multiple axises during the shots, adding an additional level of motion to the film. Working on “Move” has been an incredible experience. It has taken me to some of the most unreal landscapes in the Western United States - it is an adventure I will never forget. The miles hiked, gear broken, sleepless nights and months and months spent shooting and editing this film have given me a new appreciation for time-lapse and I am so grateful to be able to share my work with you. I was very excited to once again team up with the great Lou Forestieri for the music for “Move”. His musical and artistic genius is second to none and his composition adds a unique flavor to each and every shot. When I asked Lou to write a unique score for this film, he immediately knew exactly what I wanted and wow, what he wrote is simply amazing! His score helps to bring this time-lapse to life.

Bagan by ApisakKanjanapusit
Bagan (Burmese: ပုဂံ; MLCTS: pu.gam, IPA: [bəɡàɴ]; formerly Pagan) is an ancient city located in the Mandalay Region of Burma (Myanmar). From the 9th to 13th centuries, the city was the capital of the Kingdom of Pagan, the first kingdom to unify the regions that would later constitute modern Myanmar. During the kingdom's height between the 11th and 13th centuries, over 10,000 Buddhist temples, pagodas and monasteries were constructed in the Bagan plains alone, of which the remains of over 2200 temples and pagodas still survive to the present day. via 500px http://500px.com/photo/107811923

The video was about capturing an insight into Sinead’s world, just a normal girl hanging out in her bedroom from day to night. I wanted a mood that felt personal and intimate. This was then highlighted by the animation. I wanted this to feel innocent, primitive and bold and I felt the nature of doing this animation for real as camera less animation (a technique pioneered by the incredible Norman McLaren) would capture an insight and honesty that matches the emotion of the track. All animation done by hand directly onto 35mm film. BTS pics below. Process We began by shooting on 35mm film. We almost had an entirely female crew too. Which was great. Why does this not happen more please!? The film was then scanned and made digital so we could edit it. The day to night timelapse was fun to capture too. I wanted a 7 second timelapse which meant I needed 175 frames. With the help of the awesome DP Katie Swain who designed the lighting to replicate that feeling of daylight changing to nighttime. While nearly all the crew plus the commissioner James Hackett were allocated control over different lights to gradually dim down and up over the 3 minutes we took to execute this effect. We shot 1 frame per sec and ended with 180 frames. Once edited I then worked with an animator to create a digital animatic to give us an indication of what some of the animation might look like on the footage. Thanks Daniel Murtha! We then graded the film and then had the film reprinted back on to 35mm negs which we sent to our animator. Enter the very talented and highly skilled, Em Cooper. I’m not sure anything could have prepared us for the delicate execution of painting directly on to film! Experienced as she is she had still never painted directly on to film. Em then had to design her own contraption to allow her to go back and forth on the reel. She also ended up using coloured pens instead of paint as she could be more precise on the film and the colours were better. For the initial previews Em took photos on her SLR through a magnify glass which she then collated in an editing programme to make a small preview quicktime. It was quite exhilarating seeing the first preview and watching the concept become tangible. If you look carefully we switch between 25fps and 12.5fps animation and live action at 25fps. As it would have been even more time consuming doing 25fps animation on all clips. But I think this really adds to the charm. We had 3 rolls of negs for our animator. She only used one and what you see is the one master reel with painted frames. This reel of film is a work of art in it’s own right. When the final animated clip was complete the final scan was a crucial step to seeing if it would all work. Finally once re-scanned I was surprised by how well the colours came out. We then had minimal tweaking in the final grade for delivery. A huge thank you to everyone who believed and made this very unusual project happen.

Camping on the volcano Etna by marcocalandra89
Facebook page: Marco Calandra Photography Website: http://www.marcocalandra.com Google +: Marco Calandra A few weeks before the eruption of October 26 2013, the south-east crater of Etna had already manifested phenomena of explosive activity. On the evening of October 25, I made an arrangement with my cousin for camping on the volcano and making several photographs. Later that day we started to walk down the path that would have taken us to the Valle del Bove. Once there, we put up the tent and spent the night taking several photographs. During the first hours of the night we started to hear some roars coming from the crater, so we looked out of the tent and saw that it had started to erupt, resuming its explosive activity which had stopped a few weeks before. It was a great sensation to see a spectacle of nature like that and be one of the firsts to see it so closely. So we caught the opportunity to film and photograph in order to keep it as a memory, not just a mental one, but also visual one. via 500px http://500px.com/photo/107740427

www.terracollage.com www.facebook.com/terracollage The second episode of my essay series is all about macro cinematography - a whole new world of motion pictures in huge reproduction scales. The idea of this piece was to stage the genesis of a tiny universe, which only exists for a very short time on a glass plate and then dissolves into a messy stream of oil, ink and water. The universe itself needed to appear as a well defined, glowing and shining phenomenon which reminds the viewer of a look through a telescope. The atmosphere full of stars, planets, clouds and fog emerges from huge colorful streams, forming balls and bubbles. Their surfaces reflect the background pattern, giving the objects quite a three-dimensional look and feel. The space expands more and more into the depth, until upcoming star bursts make the whole system collapse. The illusion decomposes to a dark splash of substances and disappears as fast as it came up. The areas you can see in this short film are only a few square centimeters in size, often less than a coin. The streams and interactions of fluids are not visible to the naked eye and have to be caught with a 1:1 macro lens and some very bright led lights. It took me about 70 hours of shooting, trying and failing until I was able to capture pictures with an organic, non-generated character, establishing a truly reliable cosmos. The footage has only been edited, speedramped and color corrected, no composing or CGI. I hope you enjoy it. This video is entirely shot in 4K and then downscaled or cropped.

The Power of an All-Woman Mariachi Band Mariachi is “passed on from generation to generation,” says Mireya Ramos, a musician who lives in New York City. “It’s very traditional and very macho.” Ramos tells filmmaker Jenny Schweitzer that she had “negative experiences” with other bands—that is to say, with the men who performed in them—and decided to form Flor de Toloache, a seven-piece, all-women mariachi group. “For people who are used to seeing men play, we’re making a statement. We’re breaking that concept,” says Ramos. -Chris Heller (Senior Associate Editor, The Atlantic Video) This is the first episode of RHYTHM IN MOTION, a series of short films about New York’s subway musicians. www.RhythmInMotion.nyc https://www.facebook.com/RhythmInMotionNYC Flor de Toloache just released their new album: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/mariachi-flor-de-toloache/id956080850 … ABOUT THE SERIES Directed, produced, shot, and edited by Jenny Schweitzer The films were created in collaboration with the MTA’s arts division, MTA Arts & Design, and in association with Killer Content (Still Alice, Alec Baldwin’s Here’s the Thing podcast) and Cinelan (FOCUS FORWARD Short Films, Big Ideas and WE THE ECONOMY 20 Short Films You Can’t Afford To Miss). … New York City subway buskers are a well-documented bunch. It is not unusual to witness a sea of iphones capturing those random performances as we scurry to our trains. Since arriving in NYC in the late-90’s, I, too, have marveled at them, mesmerized by this inimitable cast of characters. All the time, I have wondered what drove these performers underground. For me, these musicians serve as an essential thread woven into the great culture that forms our vibrant city. It was difficult to develop the first pieces. Having been approached by filmmakers on so many occasions, the musicians initially were skeptical of me. My objective in making these films was to give these gifted people the opportunity to reveal a hidden aspect of who they are and to voice their artistic message. While the musicians’ talent and performances serve as the framework for each film, for me, the allure lies beneath the music. The films peek into their arresting and deeply personal stories. In 1987 the Metropolitan Transit Authority created Music Under New York to offer musicians access to coveted, high traffic spots in the subway system and to assure the commuters a high level of artistic accomplishment.

It is not unusual to witness a sea of iphones capturing those random performances as we scurry to our trains. Since arriving in NYC in the late-90’s, I, too, have marveled at them, mesmerized by this inimitable cast of characters. All the time, I have wondered what drove these performers underground. For me, these musicians serve as an essential thread woven into the great culture that forms our vibrant city. It was difficult to develop the first pieces. Having been approached by filmmakers on so many occasions, the musicians initially were skeptical of me. My objective in making these films was to give these gifted people the opportunity to reveal a hidden aspect of who they are and to voice their artistic message.
