I Dreamt of Flying
Video of the Day: I Dreamt of Flying
I Dreamt of Flying 'I Dreamt of Flying' is a mixed media documentary, combining hand-drawn illustration with archive material. The piece focuses on the crews of Bomber Command who sacrificed their lives in the skies to help end World War II, and illustrates the distinct contrasts between the heroic and romanticised perceptions of the R.A.F, and the brutal and terrifying realities so many young airmen faced night after night. The film is a tribute to those men who risked their lives and to my grandfather; an RAF tail-gunner 1943-44.
Written, drawn, animated and directed by Alex Bland
Awards and Screenings:
*Winner of 'Best Imaginative Response to War Award' - Imperial War Museum Film Competition (2008).
*Runner Up, Documentary Award - Soho Rushes (2008).

A Momentary Lapse of London
Video of the Day: A Momentary Lapse of London
by Davide Roveri
ABOUT A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF LONDON:
"When I first moved to London two years ago the first period of my relationship with the city wasn’t that great, I couldn’t find a connection, I felt like a stranger and I couldn’t feel any inspiration at all. But then, all of a sudden, one night I was walking on the South Bank when a glorious sunset caught my attention and I experienced that beautiful sensation of feeling like home. And at that point, it was.
It has been exactly like when you meet someone and at first you don’t like him/her, but then you hang out for a while and, before you can realise, you’re in love! So the main idea behind this timelapse movie was simply to write a sort of visual love letter to the city that stole my heart and that gives me a lot of inspiration every single day."
The technical stuff:
Shot with a Canon 5D Mark II w/ TC-80N3 timer

VideoMind Interviews iROKO Partners Founder Jason Njoku | VideoMind:
At VideoMind, we want to bring you the latest insights from individuals working at the forefront of Internet TV. One of the biggest trends in global cinema right now is the explosive growth of the Nigerian movie industry. Nollywood produces more movies per year than the Hollywood system (only India's Bollywood turns out more feature films on an annual basis). iRoko Partners is the world's largest online distributor of Nigerian movies. The BBC, The Telegraph and PandoDaily have featured the venture-backed digital media company. I recently sat down with Jason Njoku, who founded iRoko Partners in 2010, to discuss the global reach of Internet Television, the Nollywood phenomenon, and our spirit animals. Selected quotes are transcribed below.
On iRoko Partners . . .
We're like the Netflix of Africa. We take the best, premium African movies -- typically from Nollywood -- and put them online for people to enjoy worldwide.
We're like the Netflix of Africa. We take the best, premium African movies -- typically from Nollywood -- and put them online for people to enjoy worldwide.
On the Nollywood phenomenon . . .
You've heard of Hollywood. Most people have heard of Bollywood. Nollywood is the west African movie industry which is centered in Nigeria. We're talking about the world's second-largest film industry in terms of output after Bollywood. It's electrified the entire African diaspora.
On reaching a global audience online . . .
We've amassed the largest collection of Nollywood movies ever collected in one place.
We set free this content so the whole world can see it.
We get traffic from 178 countries. There are people from the African diaspora everywhere.
I think the great thing about online video is that it democratizes people's ability to get this content.
On the benefits of distributing media online . . .
[It is better because] on your terms, you can watch as many or as few movies as you want.

America's Cup - Full CG boat race
Video of the Day: America's Cup - Full CG boat race
Full CG promotional trailer for the upcoming Americas Cup in San Francisco.
Since none of the new bigger boats have yet been built in real life there were no real point in shooting anything on location so Lost Liner were brought in to create the upcoming race in San Francisco Bay in CG instead. The San Francisco were recreated from areal photoes and 3D water. The CG boats were built according to existing blueprints with a CG crew added and animated to bring life. The CG ocean were set up with Softimage ICE to automatically create splashes of water when the boats hit the waves. The only thing shot were some still images of the San Francisco skyline to use for constructing a mattepainting of the city backdrop.
To be able to realise director Johan Rimérs grand vision Visual Arts turned to Lost Liner for lookdev, lighting cinematography, shading, water simulations, rendering and Comp.
Modeled in Maya lookdev and fluids in Softimage, Rendered in Arnold. Lens flares and water splashes on the camera were then added in After Effect to finish of the effect.
Working with director Johan Rimér were as always very inspiring and pushed us to go that extra mile needed.

5158.3 miles
Video of the Day: 5158.3 miles
by Jorge Gonzalez
Notes from creator: On March 17 2012 Jessica and I set out across the country to chase down the colors in our dreams through fields and valleys, around rivers and cities, across mountains and deserts. Over the course of two weeks we covered 5158.3 miles, 17 states, 2 speeding tickets, we drove through a snow storm in the mountains of Wyoming, listened to M83, Appleseed Cast, Feist, Smashing Pumpkins, Tycho, Job for a Cowboy, Colour Revolt and the rest of our iTunes playlist about 20 times, heard Adele on the radio more than we care to remember, ate more gas station food than could ever be healthy, broke into Four Corners National Park and made out at the Four Corners in the pitch black desert night, and learned that the line between man-made and nature is blurrier than we had previously believed.

Yosemite Range of Light
Video of the Day: Yosemite Range of Light
Notes from the artist:
I am a destination visual artist who specializes in photography, timelapse cinematography, & filmmaking. I love to travel, so if you have a project in some far flung location, lets talk.
Yosemite National Park, the High Sierra, and the Eastern Sierra are some of the most beautiful places on earth. Ever since I serendipitously won a trip to Yosemite when I was 18, the beautiful Range of Light has captured my heart and become my home. Nothing brings me more joy than to share this life changing beauty with others.
Ever since I became fascinated with timelapse photography almost 2 years ago, after seeing the work of Tom Lowe, I’ve wanted to do a piece on Yosemite and the Sierra. Now after almost 2 years of shooting, I'm thrilled to share. I hope you enjoy my vision of my home, the majestic Yosemite & Sierra. Best viewed Full Screen with Sound :)

Download an MP3 of Bear McCreary's Temporal Distortion on Amazon http://tinyurl.com/8955prd or on Itunes
What you see is real, but you can't see it this way with the naked eye. It is the result of thousands of 20-30 second exposures, edited together to produce the timelapse. This allows you to see the Milky Way, Aurora and other Phenonmena, in a way you wouldn't normally see them.
In the opening "Dakotalapse" title shot, you see bands of red and green moving across the sky. After asking several Astronomers, they are possible noctilucent clouds, airglow or faint Aurora. I never got a definite answer to what it is. You can also see the red and green bands in other shots.
At :53 and 2:17 seconds into the video you see a Meteor with a Persistent Train. Which is ionizing gases, which lasted over a half hour in the cameras frame. Phil Plait wrote an article about the phenomena here http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2011/10/02/a-meteors-lingering-tale/
There is a second Meteor with a much shorter persistent train at 2:51 in the video. This one wasn't backlit by the moon like the first, and moves out of the frame quickly.
The Aurora were shot in central South Dakota in September 2011 and near Madison, Wisconsin on October 25, 2011.
Watch for two Deer at 1:27
Most of the video was shot near the White River in central South Dakota during September and October 2011, there are other shots from Arches National Park in Utah, and Canyon of the Ancients area of Colorado during June 2011.

This is my debut timelapse video, and the making of this film has been a real challenge. Living in Oslo (250-500 km away from the scenery portrayed in this film), I had to make 11 trips over a period of 15 months to fullfill this project. I had to visit and revisit locations which were not easily reached considering the the heavy photo gear I was carrying.
Special thanks to
Tore Johnsen who spent many hours to create and synchronize his beautiful music into this film and my parents for the support. Also, a HUGH thanks to all the timelapse enthusiasts on http://forum.timescapes.org/phpBB3 for sharing there valuable knowledge.
