LFF2010: Another Year
It was James Cameron who once stated, “Pick up a camera. Shoot something. No matter how small, no matter how cheesy, no matter whether your friends and your sister star in it. Put your name on it as director. Now you’re a director. Everything after that you’re just negotiating your budget and your fee”. If [...]

Vans Girls Fall 2011 Collection
Continuing on from yesterday’s 7d + Twixtor time manipulation combo, here’s what director Kyle Alexander and cinematographer Greg Ephraim achieved with a similar setup for the Vans Girls Fall 2011 promo.

7D 1000 fps
If you already thought the 7D shot nice images then you’re gonna be pretty smitten with Oton Bačar’s slow motion BMX test footage. Apparently some of the praise does have to go to the Twixtor After Effects plugin, and of course Niklas Aman’s track Fly Away. 7D 1000 fps from Oton Bačar on Vimeo.
ATTENTION!!
Shot by The Guardian’s Dan Chung and Tania Branigan, on a Canon 60D and 1DmkIV, there’s something oddly amusing, slightly hypnotic and a little disturbing about their slow-motion film of North Korea’s military parade. (I couldn’t help but hum the Blackadder goes Forth theme tune whilst watching it!) North Korea’s Military parade in Slow Motion [...]

Once an assistant to Jean-Luc Goddard and Chantal Akerman, Romain Goupil has produced a beautiful and inspiring film which begins with a women reflecting [...]
