the title says it all, go see a beautiful stop motion/time lapse/motion control video by Ollie Larkin here

FWIW after watching it three times I actually prefer it synced up to the Rhythm & Sound tune ‘Truly’ remixed by Vladislav Delay ie mute the soundtrack when you play the video on the site, open itunes & hit play! But whatever mows your lawn..

Cornelius is a Japanese band who have released a few albums – this video clip is for a song on their first album & I still enjoy seeing it now as much as the first time – great audio visual sync/concepts… check it out:

Receiving a copy of a new book by Haruki Murakami is very much like being served the freshest sashimi – you have to pause for a moment while all of your senses have time to excitedly join your brain’s anticipation…
& then slowly savour every mouthful/line like it was your last…

Taking place over seven hours of a Tokyo night,
it intercuts three loosely related stories….

While a lot of big budget 3D work in film aims for the holy grail of photo realism, very little of it ever achieves it, or when it does it falls into the genius area of the audience being oblivious to its presence. Unfortunately the worst of it is often given away by the robotic camera movement or even worse, the lack of any use of focus as a creative tool ie everything is in focus – very uncinematic… You only have to revisit a film that was considered ‘cutting edge’ a year or two ago to appreciate how some 3D really is the emperors new clothes… & those clothes date rapidly & badly…
But when a true artist with a vision works in the medium look out! While checking out the winners of Ars Electronica festival I became incredibly intrigued to see the winning 3D Animation; Codehunters by Ben Hibon (UK) and after a quick search found a copy to see for myself.

Watch it on the small screen here or on the directors site – great soundtrack too by Joris de Man & what a fantastic feature film it would make!!!!!
oops just found a better resolution copy – 150MB quicktime
