In 36,000 Photos, Melting Ice Animations Set to Silky-Smooth Mimi Goese + Ben Neill Music

In 36,000 Photos, Melting Ice Animations Set to Silky-Smooth Mimi Goese + Ben Neill Music:



It’s hard to say enough good things about the music video for “Persephone” by Mimi Goese and Ben Neill, so let’s keep it short:

40 blocks of ice (25 L of water), in 40 timelapses of four hours, are strung into some 36,000 photos of stop-motion animation. Stop motion might just rest on its visual spectacle, but in the hands of director Christophe Thockler, the results are positively cinematic, too, and oddly poignant.

With sound on mute, that would be wonderful to watch, but instead, you get to enjoy the music of trumpet player/technologist Ben Neill and vocalist Mimi Goese in a silky, sexy-smooth track that might melt you like so many blocks of ice.

On that video – Oberon by Mimi Goese & Ben Neill, available on the special edition of “Songs for Persephone,” along with, of course, the track in the music video.

Plastikman Visuals, Condensed to 60 Seconds

Plastikman Visuals, Condensed to 60 Seconds:re-blog from Create Digital Motion


Pacing live visuals over the course of a performance can be a key to its success, so it makes this 60-second timelapse of the Plastikman (Richie Hawtin) show all the more compelling to watch. You have a sense in this condensed version of how color and imagery are mapped to the flow of the performance, and the amount of constraint required to make that consistent. (Style differs – I’ve seen plenty of visual performers get more hectic than this in 60 real-time seconds. It works for some, not as much for others.)

Ali Demirel & Jarrett Smith of Canada-based Derivative Inc., using Derivative’s TouchDesigner application, designed the visuals in the show.

I would say more, but then it might take you longer to read this post than to watch the vi

Eiffel Tower on Fire from Alta Media Productions on Vimeo.
This is a Timlapse Sequence of the 14th of July fireworks in Paris, France. It's the anniversary of the French Revolution and also the 120th anniversary of the Eiffel Tower. Around 700 000 people gathered in front of the monument to see the pyrotechnics following a free concert by Johnny Hallyday. The firework was on for a little more then half an hour in which we took around 6000 photos.

Aurora Borealis Timelapse

Aurora Borealis Timelapse: re-blog from TheCoolist

Photographer Tor Even Mathisen captured the Aurora Borealis over Tromso, Norway in a stunning timelapse video. This surreal act of the elements, perhaps Nature’s most magical, dances across the Norse skies in Mathisen’s frame. The Aurora Borealis is something we at TheCoolist hope to see before we expire.

AT-AT Day Afternoon

AT-AT Day Afternoon: from Computer Love

In this short film from Patrick Boivin — AT-AT Day Afternoon — the French-Canadian filmmaker waxes nostalgic on what it would be like if an AT-AT Walker were man's best friend. 'When I was a kid, there were two things I wanted badly and never got,' Boivin says. 'A real dog and a Kenner AT-AT Walker.' Check out the video below.
