The Making of Tehom from ridavio on Vimeo.

From ridavio.com/
Two years ago Angelo Musco started production on Tehom. I documented one of numerous photo shoots that took place in a private pool on a penthouse rooftop in Tribeca. It was a beautiful day and the small cast of models was upbeat and very creative that afternoon. After months of shooting, Angelo would continue work for two years creating an underwater world with an architecture of tens of thousands of nude human bodies. As he explains in the video, Tehom comes from a Hebrew word in Genesis signifying the great deep of the primordial waters of creation. The final piece will stretch 48 feet long and 12 feet high with some figures reaching nearly life size. As I edited the action from above the water and cut it with the photos Angelo was taking below the surface I attempted to evoke the feeling of Tehom, the deep, as seen in the details from the final work toward the end of the video. Tehom exhibits at the Carrie Secrist gallery in Chicago, opening May 1 and running through July 10, 2010.

Tehom from ridavio on Vimeo.

From ridavio.com/
This video documents the installation of Tehom, the first solo show of artist Angelo Musco. It took five days to install 191 pieces in the Carrie Secrist gallery in Chicago. When Angelo returned with his footage, I cut it together with an interview we had taped previously. The goal here was to capture the momentous effort of installing an exhibit that was the culmination of two years of work from concept to completion.

All we are from Visualiseringscenter C on Vimeo.

We are all born here on the Earth, a planet that orbits the star we call the Sun in the Milky Way galaxy. But where do we really come from? And where is our place in the universe?

In All We Are the visitor is taken on a journey to the outermost limit of the universe and down to the very smallest component parts known to humanity - a journey in scale, but also in time and space, investigating what is well-known but also showing scientific discoveries that are normally invisible to the human eye.

All We Are is the first film produced by Norrköping Visualization Center C for the dome theater and is directed by Carter Emmart from the Hayden Planetarium in New York.

One Day on Earth: Cold Engadin Time Lapse Night from Alessandro Della Bella on Vimeo.

Taking part in “One Day on Earth” on 12.12.12, this footage is quickly put together to give an overview. During two quite cold nights on Piz Corvatsch (-25°C) and Piz Nair (-15°C) in the Engadin valley in eastern Switzerland near St. Moritz I shot more than 10K photos showing the night sky, stars, milky way and valley.

On some images you can see snowcats preparing the slopes. A long exposure effect is applied to show their light trails. I worked with 5 DSLR Canon cameras simultaneously. Many shooting stars were captured on the footage, since it was a geminids meteor shower night. See some of these on the photographs at the end of the video, as well as some “making of” photos of the frozen equipment.

Enjoy!

Revealing The Truth from Tadao Cern on Vimeo.

Revealing The Truth:

Long long time ago a stranger asked me to make his portrait… So I did.

I sent him the image and I never heard back from him again since that moment.

Than I saw one painting and I felt that it was very familiar to me: tadaocern.com/VincentVanGogh/VVGP.jpg

And then I got it - It was a copy of my photo!

I did a little research on that and it seem that the guy who draw(copied) it is quite well known around…

His name is Vincent Van Gogh and I was lucky enough to make his portrait.

Pity that he never mentioned me and I can’t find his contact now…

This video is a comparison of both images.

DEATH VALLEY DREAMLAPSE from Sunchaser Pictures on Vimeo.

(Watch in HD with headphones on & volume cranked, if you can! Hands & arms inside cart at all times!)

After the great response to our SUNCHASER STAR TRAILS video, my brave team and I trekked to the world-famous Eureka Dunes in Death Valley National Park to search for some of the darkest skies on Earth. Despite temps below freezing, we went on December 13th, 2012 – the night of the Geminid Meteor Shower Peak, and a time of great planetary alignment! Armed only with boxed wine, firewood, and our DSLRs, we had to conquer epic climbs, sand roads with the 4x4 Jeep, and the occasional UFO…

But it was all worth it when the skies cleared and showed us an incredible galactic palette! Star Trails shot at 25 sec exposures. No special effects used, just the rotation of the earth’s axis. Photography Merging: STARSTAX. Used Canon 5D & 7D, with a 24mm/1.4 lens and a 28mm/1.8. The Geminids get crazy as the sun comes up (2:20-2:35) but you can spot a bunch more throughout, if you look closely — or here’s a nice shot (bit.ly/SkZGdw). There’s also some passing planets (1:15-1:30 and 2:15-2:25). I think these are Jupiter and Mars(?), but maybe some smart astronomer out there can verify?

The “UFO” appears at (1:30-1:35) and makes three broad circular sweeps over the desert. Though in timelapse it appears to be moving fast, consider the 5 seconds = about 50 minutes, so it’s creeping. There was no sound, so it definitely wasn’t a helicopter. Closer picture here (bit.ly/T3yK3s). It can also be seen cutting through the circular star trails in the shot used above!

OVERVIEW from Planetary Collective on Vimeo.

On the 40th anniversary of the famous ‘Blue Marble’ photograph taken of Earth from space, Planetary Collective presents a short film documenting astronauts’ life-changing stories of seeing the Earth from the outside – a perspective-altering experience often described as the Overview Effect.

The Overview Effect, first described by author Frank White in 1987, is an experience that transforms astronauts’ perspective of the planet and mankind’s place upon it. Common features of the experience are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment.

‘Overview’ is a short film that explores this phenomenon through interviews with five astronauts who have experienced the Overview Effect. The film also features insights from commentators and thinkers on the wider implications and importance of this understanding for society, and our relationship to the environment.

CAST
• EDGAR MITCHELL – Apollo 14 astronaut and founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences
• RON GARAN – ISS astronaut and founder of humanitarian organization Fragile Oasis
• NICOLE STOTT – Shuttle and ISS astronaut and member of Fragile Oasis
• JEFF HOFFMAN – Shuttle astronaut and senior lecturer at MIT
• SHANE KIMBROUGH – Shuttle/ISS astronaut and Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army

Island in the Sky from Christoph Malin on Vimeo.

Inhale the fresh air, smell the scent of the pine forests. Hear nothing but the wind in the trees. See the deep blue sky above black volcano sands. Hike epic volcanic trails far above the atlantic ocean. Feel the elements. Be yourself.

This short film, a hommage to the beautiful Island of La Palma - “Europe’s Hawaii” (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Palma) - seemed like a never ending project for me. More than one and a half years of work…. photographing, processing, re-processing, selecting and de-selecting footage, some weeks filming, more than 1 TB worth of RAW data…

I had certain pictures in mind - the scenes, the locations, the moods. Every interesting location I had spotted during many stays over the years on the Island while Hiking or guiding Bike Groups was considered.

As often as possible I returned to Palma to let those images I had in mind get reality (newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/2011/08/15/new-astro-timelapse-video-the-island-showcases-astronomy-haven/), but more than once got thrown back - bad weather, equipment malfunction or whatever. Hiked up the many spots, stayed up all night on stormy volcano ridges, slept like a dead on the beach next morning. Pre-processed nights footage at the Appartement, to check what scenes worked and not, thus needed to be repeated. Moved back up the mountains before dawn for new setups. Watched the clouds and stars move. Feeling small in the universe. And tired and dizzy.

Night-Timelapse filming is a passion, hard to live from, tough on your biorhythm - there is a lot of love, passion and dedication involved. Passion for the work, an open eye for the location. Love for nature and being out alone in the night. Dedication and endurance in front of my workstations when returning and working trough the RAW data.

Which is the toughest part for me - I am not the office guy. Although a friend once said “you have a Mac network that Cupertino would be proud of”, and really enjoy working with these clever designed, efficient machines, I hate sitting in front of the screen too much. And that you do. NO current workstation or server PC has enough power to process timelapse sequences fast. It takes hours, hours, hours.

Endless nights rendering and processing sometimes take their toll - there is no automatism and the machines need to be fed with data… also I usually do not finish until a scene is perfect. On some key scenes of this film I have worked over several months, pulling them out, color-reprocessing, iterating them many times, trying variations. And I am still not sure if they are right now. You judge.

To make it worse, while working on this film, I changed the entire software and processing, so I reprocessed a lot of the early material for the better. Then my new added D7000 turned out to be a tricky machine for timelapse - while a great performer with top image quality, it often produced footage with a very subtle shutter flicker. flicker of that kind which is nearly impossible to remove. All that adds up. More than often I came to a point where I thought “Dude, it is too much, I can’t get it done”. Expectations and pressure were high. But now - finished!

PASSION and DEDICATION and help from good friends! Otherwise this project would not have been possible.

Thanks to all who support me, especially my family. Thanks to Babak Tafreshi of Twanight.org for the legendary GRANTECAN Intro (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gran_Telescopio_Canarias) and MAGIC-from-the-side Scene (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAGIC_(telescope). Thanks to the People of IAC.es and Visitlapalma.es! Horay to all at the TWAN Group for constant tips and feedback! Awesome to NPS!

A huge “Thanks!” goes to Jesse Hozeny for letting me use his awesome soundtrack “Miles High”. I have searched over a year for the perfect score for this little movie, and simply it was not finished until I found it. Check Jesse’s Albums here:

Filmed with: Nikon D700, D7000, D3s, AFS 14-24/2.8, AFS 24-70/2.8, AF 50/1.8, AF 16/2.8 and AF-DX 10/2.8 Fisheye. Dynamic Perception Stage Zero Dolly and MX2 Merlin Interface. Vixen Polarie, great device for Timelapse pans: vixen.co.jp/en/lp/polarie_movie.html

Processed with: Nikon View NX, Adobe Lightroom LR4, LRTimelapse, Apple Motion, Apple Final Cut Pro X.

Amount of RedBull consumed? Countless.

Now dive in, put your earphones on and relax…

Cheers and all the best.

***TO THE STARS!***

A timelapse message from ISS to all Humankind. - 2K version available on my blog: wp.me/p2fVm6-bv
Facebook page - Making of coming soon! facebook.com/furtherupyonder

I wanted to use pictures taken from the International Space Station to tell a story and share the message sent by the astronauts who worked on the station in the last 11 years.

They are working to open a Gateway to Space for all humankind, but people on Earth must understand that they have to get rid of the concept of borders on our planet if they want to follow the astronauts to new worlds in outer space. While the cosmonauts speak a day passes on Earth, from dawn to sunset, until the Gateway opens with a burst of light. The ISS then gains speed and goes faster and faster, the astronauts are leaving our planet which they see spinning faster and faster, merging earth, oceans and people together, ready to follow them, Further Up Yonder.

Making of

As a filmmaking student, this was my first attempt to craft a timelapse video. It has been a time consuming process, but it turned out as one of my most satisfying projects.

I focused my workflow on colours and harmony of movements, syncing every frame with the music and the voices of the astronauts. Every picture has been post processed individually before being imported in the NLE software, as I tried to take the most out of every image in terms of colours, contrast and neatiness.

Pictures were downloaded from the Image Science & Analysis Laboratory, NASA Johnson Space Center and edited with Photoshop CS6. Even if they were Hi-res images shot with Nikon D3S cameras, a lot of noise removal and color correction was needed, especially for those shots at ISO 3200, which was the highest ISO speed limit I’ve allowed myself to use, exception made for the last sequence of the spinning world, which comes from a sequenze of shots taken at ISO 12800. Daytime shots were taken at ISO 200. I’ve used Topaz Denoise 5 for noise removal, as it is very powerful and accurate when dealing with shadows and blacks.

Editing was made with Adobe Premiere CS6, with a 2K workflow, which allowed me to scale, rotate and pan image sequences whose native resolution is 4K. The video was downscaled to 1280x720 resolution for Vimeo. The original 2K version is available for download on my blog (link on top of this description).

Within Two Worlds from Goldpaint Photography on Vimeo.

“Within Two Worlds depicts an alternate perspective by giving us the illusion of times movement, signifying a beginning and end within a world of constant contradiction. It appears you are traveling in the midst of a dream, half-sleeping, half-waking, and touching the arch connecting heaven and earth.”

I discovered my passion for photography shortly after my mother’s passing while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) 3 years ago. This time-lapse video is my visual representation of how the night sky and landscapes co-exist within a world of contradictions. I hope this connection between heaven and earth inspires you to discover and create your own opportunities, to reach your rightful place within two worlds.
