M. Ward :


I just like the visual style of this music video. The decay, the urban feeling, the editing, the composition of the shots.

Playing with Light

Last Wednesday Mr. Gerd S. showed me some nice pictures he took from a band. He used only one flashlight and a very long (30sec) lens opening. Here you will find a moving image version of it Gerd.

info graphic


This could be a nice idea for a PRIME generic. You take an out of the box well written witty voice over text, and you illustrate it visually with a boring company-like powerpoint info graphic. :-)

A huge radiohead videoclip collection


If this nozap-blog is about content, motion design, originality, and I still don't know what else. And if you liked what you saw till know. I highly recommend You to visit Obtusity. They spend a lot of time collecting the most complete series of radiohead music videos I have ever seen.

Father And Daughter

Father and Daughter from Mr. Michael Dudok de Wit is in my point of view the exact balance between drawing, animation, playing with light, and storytelling. a short moving picture that moved me.

Lip-sync-editing

Brandit mailed me this movie. Does anybody know how they do that lip sync editing? Is there special software for it? See also video 2 of my U2 post. Same idea and a bit more variation on the selected shots:-)

Samaritans


I found this nice animation doodle spot via brand republic. Illustrator of service is Mr. Billie Jean. No, not the Michael Jackson one.

How to save streaming .flv movies on your mac (2)

- you will need Quicktime Pro.
- you will need the free perian plugin to play flash movies in quicktime.
- you go to the page on youtube with the movie you want to save.
- you copy the url.
- you go to www.savevid.com and paste the url.
(you have to type this url manually because I do not wish to be
traced by them directly:-)
- you follow their instructions and download the file.
(it is called get-video)
- you rename the file and add the .flv extension to it.
- the flashmovie plays now in quicktime. (if you have installed the perian plugin)
- with the save as command you can make it a .mov file.
- good luck.

The Blue Tit Syndrome (2)

The blue tit was the first bird to peck the metal foil tops off milk bottles to get a drink. This scam was first recorded in Southamton in 1921 and by some twenty years later every blue tit was at it.

This behaviour did not gradually emanate or spread out from Southampton but arose suddenly and independently in random places all over the British Isles. Those who study blue tits can't account for this. It can't be explained by tits passing on information to other tits - they dislike travelling.
Found in "the art of looking sideways" (P81) by Mr. Alan Fletcher" who is seemingly all over the place. See some nice articles on this great man here, here, here and, here.

Postmortem bliss

Postmortem Bliss by Floria Sigismondi:
In homage to Rebel Without A Cause, Sigismondi recasts Nicholas Ray’s portrayal of the turbulence and pain of adolescence in a modern light. Today, institutions and their educators often diagnose these pains and confusions as a mental disorder. Postmortem Bliss is a film about the over-medicated, addicted, and misdiagnosed generation of today.

Fezztival (channel idents)

Some years ago Steven H. and I made this nice channel-design. There was no money and there was no time. Most of these idents where made by still pictures, some others used stock-shot footage, and in a rare occasion we used actual footage of the movie. The idea was simple, find an interesting quote, find some moving image to go along with, and play around with some typography. Have a look.
