I sought out to capture the electric radiance of Los Angeles at night and paint a portrait of my city.

It took me 6 months of on and off shooting to finish this project.

Shooting time lapses is a labor of love and a study in patience.

This video is dedicated to the memory of my Grandmother. She spent most of her life bettering the lives of others and was exemplary of what humanity can be in its purest form.

Traffic in Frenetic HCMC, Vietnam






Video of the Day: Traffic in Frenetic HCMC, Vietnam from Rob Whitworth on Vimeo.


Creator's Notes:
Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is an amazing up and coming city. This time lapse is a culmination of 10,000 RAW images and multiple shoots capturing some of the cities relentless energy and pace of change.

Everyone who has visited Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam knows part of the magic (love it or hate it) is in the traffic. Ever since I first set foot in HCMC I have been captivated by the cities energy. Saigon is a city on the move unlike anything I have experienced before which I wanted to capture and share.

Thanks to everyone who helped with the film and thanks also to the numerous kind people who allowed me access to some amazing locations.

Soundtrack to the video is the energetic Mondo'77 by Looper - http://z6.co.uk/sy

District 1.5






Video of the Day: District 1.5 from Drew Geraci on Vimeo.




Creator's Notes:
HDR Time-lapse @ www.TheVoder.com

DC is one of the most difficult places to shoot. No tripods, no fancy equipment, only a single camera.

After planning my shots and figuring out what time would be best to shoot, I went out and started this HDR Time-lapse production.
During the course of the shoot I was stopped 9 times by NPS (national parks service) and three times by DC Metro police. Apparently there was a target on me... It does look suspicious though when a guy is toting around a giant blue time-lapse slider, 3 tripods and a battery. Because of the numerous roadblocks I wasn't able to use my Dynamic Perception time-lapse slider as much as I had intended, but the shots that I did get were pretty impactful (In my opinion).

This is my first project conceptualized completely in HDR. During the course of the shoot I was able to refine my HDR process and eliminate almost 30 hours of processing time by switching some settings around on both my camera and in certain programs. HDR is one of the most fun things to shoot and this production really opened my eyes to what it's capable of. It doesn't need to be all "Harry Potterish" but a simple and subtle blend of imagery will do the trick. This project is only the first in a long line of ideas I have brewing up in my head.

I hope you enjoy it! And if you like it, please share it!

Thanks so much!

A special thanks to all of those that helped get me access or supported my shoot (with ideas, time, and food!)

Metropolis - A New York City Timelapse






Video of the Day: Metropolis - A New York City Timelapse from Will Boisture 


Creator's Notes:
New York City has been my home for seven years and as a filmmaker and photographer I can’t help but be in awe of the vibrancy and beauty of this place . I wanted to create a work that captures and conveys my love for it. This video is something that I have been working to create for two and a half years. As a freelancer, I shot this film in the little windows of time between work, looking for my next job, and getting engaged and married. I’ve shown some of these shots to friends along the way, but this single, unified piece has always been the focus of my filming and I’m very happy to present it now.

I want to thank two people who made this possible; first, my wife Pooja for putting up with my need to shoot sunrises and late-night shots when she’d really rather I didn’t and being my best critic, biggest fan, and muse. And secondly, my awesome friend and collaborator Brandon Bailey who was there from the very first shoot with advice, support and enthusiasm. Thanks for everything!

Filmed between May 2009 and September 2011.

Jack the traveling cat





Video of the Day: The City Exposed: Jack the traveling cat 


Follow the City Exposed:

A recent Friday at 10:12 a.m.:

Arriving too late for breakfast at their usual spot in the Grandviews restaurant at the Grand Hyatt hotel, Peter Pasquale lifted Jack, his 2-year-old tabby, onto his shoulder and set out in search of another option. Friday is Pasquale's day off from work, and he and his feline companion usually spend the day doing errands or sightseeing. The leash and carrying case are mostly for show, since Jack prefers to ride on Pasquale's shoulder.

Pasquale is a traveling consultant who teaches companies how to use digitized medical record systems. He sets up temporary residence in different parts of the country until his trainings are complete. Every six to 12 months he starts over in a new town. He gets back to Minneapolis to see his wife infrequently, and Jack has become his lifeline.

"It's a really lonely life being a consultant, when you only go home one or two weekends a month. This keeps me sane," he said, stroking Jack's neck while sitting on the edge of his hotel bed. "There is always someone waiting for me when I get home."

The workers at the Grand Hyatt, where Pasquale has stayed since January, are accustomed to seeing Jack and Pasquale together. They ask what's wrong when they see Pasquale walk alone through the halls.

The two attracted plenty of attention at Macy's. Several clerks gathered around making goo-goo noises and tickling Jack's nose while Pasquale picked out new socks and a tie. A cabdriver seemed unfazed as Jack purred on Pasquale's lap during a lunch excursion in the Mission District.

"Everywhere I think I can take him, I'll bring him." Pasquale said he didn't want a cat two years ago when his daughter brought the abused kitten home from a party. But after three days of bonding, he couldn't let Jack go. Since then, they have become inseparable travel companions.

"I don't know how anybody can be a consultant and not bring a cat with them. I don't know how they can stand it."

Mr. Smith's Peach Seeds






Video of the Day: Mr. Smith's Peach Seeds from Stewart Copeland 


In 1968 Roger Smith ate a peach during a break from work. When he was finished he took out a pocketknife and began carving the peach pit into a tiny pig. 43 years later the retired meter reader and cattle rancher from Culloeka, Tennessee has carved hundreds of peach seeds into hummingbirds, stingrays, gospel choirs, entire villages, even a baseball stadium with 100+ figures. “Given enough time,” says Smith, “I don’t think there is anything you can’t make out of a peach seed.”

Roger Smith’s unique art, inspiring talent, and fascinating life are the subject of a short (11 minute) documentary by filmmaker Stewart Copeland. The explores Smith’s process as well as his inspirations and presents a thoughtful portrait of a self-taught artist who’s distinctive art is as much a part of his rural Southern landscape as it is a reflection of it.

Roger Smith has been featured in the books TRADITION: TENNESSEE LIVES AND LEGACIES by Robert Cogswell and WEIRD TENNEESSEE by Roger Manley. His peach seed Santa Claus was selected as one of the ornaments of the White House Christmas Tree.

Stewart Copeland is a documentary filmmaker from Tennessee. His films have played nationally and internationally, including The Big Sky Documentary Film Festival, Atlanta International Film Festival, an extended international tour with the Rural Route Film Festival and national broadcasts on POV and The Documentary Channel. Stewart is also the recipient of the prestigious Individual Artist Fellowship through the Tennessee Arts Commission. His last two documentaries were JENNIFER and LET YOUR FEET DO THE TALKIN', both films are available through the Grammy Award Winning label Dust-To-Digital. www.stewstew.com

OFFF Pescara & Webfest 2012 - Opening Titles






Video of the Day: OFFF Pescara & Webfest 2012 - Opening Titles from Physalia Studio


Engines are on, the machinery starts. Join us as we twist and turn to contemplate reality through a different glass.

The Opening Titles for OFFF Pescara & Webfest 2012 were created in a true Physalia spirit, striving to find new ways to move a camera in reality with a control only possible in CG. This time around, we created our biggest rig ever- a multi-sized orbital crane half human-powered, half computer controlled. The different sizes of our rig allowed us to engage in a multi-dimensional trip- from the macro shots taken inside the Lightbox, to the highest flights in the woods.

The Titles were shot in stopmotion with an infrared camera hacked by ourselves- more than 10.000 raw infrared images compose them. The final film has no CG imagery and was shot entirely in stopmotion.

Bob Colacello: How and Why I Sold My Warhol






Video of the Day: Bob Colacello: How and Why I Sold My Warhol from boxerbabe llc 


What to do with a giant portrait of yourself by one of the most famous artists of the 20th century? That’s the question Vanity Fair special correspondent Bob Colacello found himself asking last fall. In 1980 Andy Warhol, his then boss at Interview magazine, had painted a 40-by-40-inch likeness of Colacello as a gift for brokering a commissioned sale, but after 30 years, Colacello was finding it “hard to live with.” With Warhol prices continually hitting new highs—and with a mortgage to pay off—the writer decided to put his portrait up for auction at Sotheby’s. Videographer Jacques Del Conte headed to the auction house to witness the nail-biting sale and sat down with Colacello, who had plenty to say about the portrait and his mixed emotions in selling it.

Peter Brings the Shadow to Life





Video of the Day: Peter Brings the Shadow to Life


The title of this video by Joe Pease comes from this essay - http://yhoo.it/IBn2mK - which contains paragraphs such as, "It is not uncommon for children to play with their shadows or to imagine that they are tangible. However, in order to grow up, children must leave behind this fantasy...no one ever fully grows up. Instead, growing up is a process that continues throughout life." Of course, it might just be a bunch of shadows. Music by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.



Division






Video of the Day: Division
by johan rijpma


A piece of paper is divided by hand into an even number of pieces and then reassembled.
A photograph of this finished composition is then printed and divided again.
This makes the impossible possible, tearing the now included empty spaces that make up the tears in the paper. This feedback division process is repeated while the number of imprecise manual divisions gradually increase. Everything is created by division.

Shift








Video of the Day: Shift, a new film by Max Hattler, 2012.
More info and full credits at http://www.maxhattler.com/shift/

Because Magazine review:
"There are certain moments created by artists where it becomes apparent that they have completed a period and are ready to shift up a gear; challenging themselves, challenging audiences and challenging the body of work that they have already produced. Filmmaker Max Hattler produced in 2010 a piece called Spin. This Busby Berkeley-style dance routine played out by plastic toy soldiers seemed to instigate a slight change in working practice, and he presents his latest work, open now, at Tenderpixel. This new installation of three moving image works is entitled (appropriately enough) SHIFT. Commissioned between Animate Projects and Channel 4, the work is the latest in a series of co-productions between the two organisations, in a strand called Random Acts, bringing the work of film and video artists to terrestrial broadcast television. SHIFT is a very strong work. The three minute animation exhibits influences as disparate as modernist abstraction to industrialisation and German Expressionism. The effect is jarring, and in the Tenderpixel basement a fitting mausoleum for sci-fi exploits played out under factory-esque, conveyor-belt conditions. Hattler's work has always been exuberant and anticipatory; SHIFT presents an abstract apocalypse, hearkening back to the fears of the modern age. It's beautiful, and it's scary, and it's utterly engrossing." (http://becauselondon.com/culture/2012/03/max-hattler-shift.aspx)

Creator notes:
My life as a filmmaker has blessed me with the privilege of seeing some of the most surreal and timeless places on the planet. These images of our Sacred Earth set to music are my way of sharing some of the magic I've experienced along the way...

"Terra Sacra" ~ Latin for Sacred Earth.

Terra Sacra Time Lapses is a short film featuring remote landscapes and ancient monuments from around the globe. These images were photographed during my assignments and personal travels between 2006-2012.

I've combined my favourite shots from these trips into non-narrative film that touches on a theme close to my heart: Sacred Earth.

The visuals are driven by an original score by composer Roy Milner (roymilner.com). The six-minute film is a journey through three distinct Acts: (I) Primordial Earth (II) Past meets Present and (III) Eternal Universe.

This film is a personal project to share the beauty and awe I witnessed at these locations. I hope viewers will be moved by the intangible power of our Terra Sacra.

THANKS TO:

Endless thanks to Art Wolfe for hiring me to as the cinematographer for the public television series Art Wolfe's Travels to the Edge and taking me to the ends of the Earth where most of the shots from Terra Sacra were made. Art, you are an inspiration and the most driven photographer I have ever known! I learned so much working on this show with our amazing crew and have stories to tell for a lifetime!
http://www.artwolfe.com
http://www.travelstotheedge.com

Never-ending thanks to friends and colleagues Ian Herring and Maija Leivo of Parallax Film Productions for permission to us shots I took for the television series Ancient Megastructures (National Geographic Channel / History Television) and Battle Castle (Discovery/History Television/ BBC). These assignments provided unprecedented access to some of the world's most iconic ancient landmarks
http://www.parallaxfilm.com

Infinite thanks to my amazing wife Deddeda for her love and constant encouragement to pursue this project.

TECHNICAL:

Most of the time lapses were shot with a Canon 5D at the maximum resolution using a TC-80N3 intervalometer. A few shots were taken with a Canon 7D and Canon 5D mk II.

All images are single manual exposures, no HDR composites.

Original full resolution images were colour corrected and processed in 16-bit in Adobe Bridge using Camera Raw and exported as JPEG sequences at maximum quality. The rendered JPEG sets were then opened in Quicktime Pro as image sequences and exported at their native full resolution (up to 5K) as Quicktime movies at 23.98 fps with the Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) codec. The ProRes 422 (HQ) files were then edited in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 on a ProRes 422 (HQ) timeline at 23.98. The master file is ProRes 422 (HQ) 1920 x 1080.

Selected time lapse sequences were also processed using Adobe Bridge and LRTimelapse to smoothen aperture flicker apparent in some shots with large depth-of-field.

LICENSING:

If you are interested in licensing any of the shots from the film, please contact me so I can direct you to the appropriate agency.

WHAT'S NEXT?

I would love to revisit many of the locations in this film and other powerful sacred sites around the world to create a feature-length "Terra Sacra". The film would combine real-time, slow-motion, and motion control time lapse imagery - all in stereoscopic 3D. If you are an angel investor, potential sponsor, broadcaster, distributor or someone deeply passionate who would would like to get involved, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you.
