Stop for a second and watch this

4 good videos, 3 good songs, 2 good engine soundtracks
January 8th, 2012 getpalmd I’m so inefficient because I have a brand new Liquid Force kiteboard and a brand new APO snowboard but no kite or harness yet so I’m not getting anywhere (or I used the kiteboard as a wakeboard last summer, but it’s not what it’s made for…). Time to do something about it I think = buy the rest of the equipment. And I crave speed in all forms so I don’t know what I’m waiting for, life’s here and now.
Yesterday I watched some car videos as well as snowkiting videos and found some songs I liked. So now you get two in one: insanely good music and a few nice videos. Morcheebas “Wonders never cease” is one of my favorite songs ever but for some reason I haven’t listened to her other albums – now when I did, WOW. Love her.
The last video isn’t there because of the song in the video, but because of the engine soundtrack and a beautiful design. I hate the old Audi TT body (1998-2006?) but they’re making some progress with the design, because the new TT RS I would take anytime… straight from factory in Germany to Poland where they could do some magic with the engine and then I could live happily ever after with my Audi. I never thought I’d say this (I’m really not the Audi type of girl – R8 used to be the only car from them that interests me), but I blame the last video.
Song: Morcheeba – Crimson
Song: Flight Facilities – Crave You (Adventure Club Dubstep Remix) – original version is good too
Cinemagraphs
January 4th, 2012 getpalmd Found such a cool website that I’m speechless, it’s funny how such an old method as .gif can still be used to create something this wonderful. Images are from the Cinemagraphs.com by Kevin Burg and Jamie Beck. You have to check out the “Food” page as well, those were videos so didn’t embed them here, but looks great!
A Cinemagraph is an image that contains within itself a living moment that allows a glimpse of time to be experienced and preserved endlessly.
Visual Graphics Artist Kevin Burg began experimenting with the .gif format in this style in 2009 but it wasn’t until he partnered with photographer Jamie Beck to cover NYFW that Cinemagraphs were born. Marrying original content photography with the desire to communicate more to the viewer birthed the cinemagraph process. Starting in-camera, the artists take a traditional photograph and combine a living moment into the image through the isolated animation of multiple frames. To quote supermodel Coco Rocha “it’s more than a photo but not quite a video”.
Can this method be used nicely in automotive photography as well, has anyone tried? Post links if you know some! I want to learn to create photos like this and damn I want to see this used on car photos! For example a car and a sun reflex (what’s the real term for that…?) running through the windshield or body… or a Porsche in front of a stormy sea… or a just washed Ferrari with water still dripping from it… imagine what you actually could do! So if I take the photos, who’s the gif wizard out there…?
