Love the concept and execution! And it looked really fun to make!

" It was tricky to make this video, but it was a lot of fun! You see, what we did was skate backwards throughout the video and then when I edited it, I played the clips backwards so it looks like we're going forwards and everything else is going backwards. !yojnE

Filmed with a Canon Rebel t2i. "




Is he asking for Change, or is he asking for CHANGE?

Love the cinematography in this inspiring silent film. Just puts the message across that, sometimes, the human and humane touch, does speak louder than words.

It doesn't cost much to make a change in someone's life. Big or small. It's all about slowing down our pace of life, and giving others the second glance. Opportunities are out there. Are we looking but not noticing? Or noticing but ignoring?

Or does it take someone who's outside the rat race, someone who doesn't wants it all, to see what we're missing?




The latest Banksy in central London.

Indeed the recent Black Friday was a crazy one, with a lady pepper spraying other customers over console games, another cop (off-duty this time) pepper spraying as crowd control, a grandfather bloodied and unconscious, when he was planted face-first onto the ground for wrongfully alleged shoplifting, and a bomb scare, just to name a few.









Yes, it is another cliche video compiling the sounds of make-shift instruments. But, big thumbs up for the clean minimalistic overall feel, the exact qualities encompassed by Muji products.




A second.
What is a second worth?
What do we give a second for?
What's worth a second look?
Do we make every second count?

Or are we just missing out?



190 years ago, Nicolas Rieussec recorded time to an accuracy of a fifth second for the first time - the chronograph was born. To celebrate this unique invention, Montblanc is announcing the one-of-a-kind "The Beauty of a Second" short-film contest presented by the famous film director Wim Wenders.

Your challenge as a video artist is to "seize the moment". Everyone - professionals, amateurs, cell-phone camera enthusiasts -- is invited to capture a one-second long moving picture. The subject can be anything you consider as beautiful: a smile, a child's face, a flower, a piece of the world around you, as long as the video lasts only one second. Capture your second beauty now and get the chance to win a Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph. Watch the video to receive further information.

Going considerably viral, the official MTV for this enchanting track. Really a unique MTV, reminding me of something OK Go would do, like their toast MTV for "Last Leaf"



and finally a peep at intense time consuming process behind it all. One word - Woah!



Thanks Nick for the share!




Love the nostalgic jerking from rotoscoping, a technique developed for older cartoons in which animated-action sequences were hand-drawn frame by frame from live-action shots. Really hope that even as computers get more advanced and photography gets more common, the art of drawing by hand never dies.




Finally, a short piece that really felt like a black box play in Hitchcock style, with the tight framing, clever use of shadows and repetitive shots from different angles which gradually revealed the plot.




Love the concept and here! For Charleen, you'll understand when you see it.

Totally love the direction and execution of the film. The slow panning combined with the tilt angle shots really gave it the nostalgic feel of a Hitchcock thriller.




Rube goldberg machines have always fascinated me. The biggest problems to tackle with building one is usually finding methods of transition from one set-up to the next.

The most common way would be using dominos and popsicle sticks. However, the overall effect is usually less dramatic.

That's where the Cobra Weave comes in. I'm sure some of you have heard of it in Scouting or Guiding, and yes, it is a rather decorative weave for campcraft, which you can use to make rather pretty bracelets or keychains.

Well, the weave has since been translated for use on popsicle sticks. And interestingly, this variant also adds an additional characteristic of the cobra to it, as the weave will dramatically rise upwards as it travels down its explosive path. If only we learnt about it years back. Well, enjoy!




Because art on the streets comes in all forms of expression =3

Do not adjust your mind.
There is a fault with reality.




A short film on how Mirror's Edge would probably look like in real life =3









That awkward moment... that you still smile about remembering it =P
