Planet Earth

This is simply one of the most beautiful and captivating things I have ever seen!

This video is a compilation of time lapse photography sequences taken by crew members onboard the international Space Station from August to October 2011. The sequences were shot from an altitude of around 350km.

Breathtaking.

Josh Nimoy – Tron Legacy

Tron Legacy - Josh Nimoy, special effects genius

Incredible Tron Legacy blog post from Josh Nimoy aka jtnimoy giving an insight into the technologies, programming and processing techniques behind the effects for the feature film. Josh is obviously incredibly talented and far too clever for his own good! he’s using OpenFrameworks, wxWidgets, writing particle renderers and physics simulators and a lot more.

I love the in-depth approach and conscious effort right from concept stage to make the effects as real and appropriate for the film setting as possible “We were trying to create fireworks that looked enough like real fireworks but had interesting techno-aesthetic. As a homage to the original Tron character Bit, we used icosahedrons, dodecahedrons, and similar”!

His other work is just as impressive, take a bit of time out to check out jtnimoy.net.

The Art of Flight

  • Feb 18, 2011

It’s that time of year again when it feels like half the design industry migrates over to Europe and Canada for the snowboard and skiing season. This video isn’t helping my cravings for the piste’s and fresh powder!

This new trailer for The Art of Flight is superb, great locations and footage. Can’t wait for the final feature.

Timescapes

  • Nov 02, 2010

I have just been watching these amazing timelapse videos that are part of an upcoming feature film. Because most of us live in highly populated areas with lots of light pollution we hardly see many of the stars visible to the human eye. I spent a night on Dartmoor earlier in the year and was totally captivated by the amount of stars in the sky.

Amazing high res footage all shot on a Canon 5D mkII, go check it out at Timescapes.org and over at Vimeo. Can’t wait to see this on a large screen or an iMax version would be incredible.
