On a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being the worst, and 10 being top notch, I’d rate this video 8 for its music and art, 7 for its creativity, given that the light-painting idea isn’t exactly new. With that said, on a scale from 1 to 10 of how much I’m in love with Kina Grannis, I’d give it ∞ + 1. Yes, that’s infinity+1, meaning it can’t be measured. Kina Grannis is a singer/songwriter who started her...

If you’ve been surfing on the Internet long enough, I’m sure you’ve seen the work of Devin Graham, also better known as “Devin Supertramp“. Thanks to the power of Youtube and social networks, anyone with a camera, a passion for photography/cinematography, and effort, could really make it to be popular. And by effort I mean lots of it. Most people think photographers/videographers live their lives like a...

This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a while. In the video, an FBI trained forensic artist sits down and sketches up drawings of his subjects. The catch is, he doesn’t get to see their faces, and there are two versions for each person: one described by the subject himself/herself, and one described a third party. The results are quite different: one is “closed off and fatter, and sadder too”, while...

When Vincent Laforet made a post about a game changing device that was about to by launched in the film-making industry, I really didn’t expect much of it. Vincent said it was a “mobile” device, so I thought it was some sort of lighting device that you could carry with you while filming on set. I was far from being correct. Very far. Watch this video and you’ll know what I’m talking about.If you notice, the...

Who needs to travel and use quadcopters, hexacopters, or even octocopers to shoot some aerial footage nowadays? All you need is Nokia 3D maps and Final Cut Pro, and some beefy computer hardware. That’s exactly what Paul Wex did to produce the video below. Upon coming up with the idea, Paul realized that his computer graphic card wasn’t powerful enough to execute it. Paul then upgraded his setup and was finally able to put...

This will be the coolest music video you’ve seen for a while. ”Her Morning Elegance” is a song from the album “The Opposite Side of the Sea”, written and produced by Oren Lavie.  The entire video was shot in stop-motion style, which, I haven’t seen one as cool as this one ever since Kina Grannis made her In Your Arms. “Her Morning Elegance” consists of almost 2100 single photos, which you...

What you see in this entire video below was shot by Frokost Film in only one take. The shot took 18 second to film, which translates into three and a half minutes in slow motion. The music video “Havoc” was shot  at 300 fps, which ended up with 5400 frames, which will make it a 3.75-minute video when watched at 25 fps playback (they are in Europe, so they use PAL video). You could see that the set was very big and...

Full Moon Silhouettes is a real time video of the moon rising over the Mount Victoria Lookout in Wellington, New Zealand. People had gathered up there this night to get the best view possible of the moon rising. Mark Gee captured the video from 2.1km away on the other side of the city. It’s something that he’d been wanting to photograph for a long time, and a lot of planning and failed attempts had taken place. Finally, during...

The Moon landing conspiracy theories claim that some or all elements of the Apollo program and the associated Moon landings were hoaxes staged by NASA and members of other organizations. Various groups and individuals have made claims that the six manned landings (1969–1972) were faked and that the twelve Apollo astronauts did not walk on the Moon. The argument is that the technology to send men to the Moon was lacking or that the Van...

This Do-It-Yourself equipment video by Jay P Morgan of The Slanted Lens shows us how easy it is to build your own camera shoulder rig that’ll cost under $10. To make this rig, all you’ll need is some standard PVC pipes and a few other items from your home-improvement store. My question is: how is this different or better than the $25 Cowboy Studio shoulder rig? Also, I’m not sure why he chose to use electrical tape to wrap...
