The storytelling paper cup

The japanese artist shin shinrashinge found a creative way of telling a story through ordinary blank papercups: He tells a story of the comic series “One-Punch Man”  by using a pencil, a knife and finally layering the papercups together.

An artist of impressive atmospheres

I stumbled on various works of the Russian projection artist Sila Sveta. I really like the quality that is presented in each piece of his works.

A recent project of Sila sveta is called "Epicenter". It is about creating a futuristic kind of experience by using different illuminations in a total darkened large manufactory. Especially the bright flashlights caught my attention as it reminds me on an apocalyptic scenario. The sound is just meshing perfectly with the atmosphere. The viewer is put into a condition of being lost and disorientated. I would really love to go there and experience it by myself. 

Beside several projections in the automotive sector he participated in projection events such as the MIGZ Mapping Festival 2011 in Moscow. I am impressed of the high contrast and the intensity of the projected images in this show which is called “Things are not what they seem”.

Flexible e-ink display named Wove Band

Polyera made an interesting step towards smartwatches with flexible displays. The developers themselves do not like the term “smartphone” for their product and rather explain it as a “wearable with a flexible touchscreen display”. Equipped with an e-ink display like in Amazon’s Kindles the battery would last very long as it is only using energy on loading a page. Their vision for the device is to adapt the Wove Band into clothes some day. The Wove Band itself should be available in 2016.

“Paris Through Pentax”

The french photographers and filmmakers Mathieu Maury and Antoine Pai made an interesting approach of creating a shortfilm about Paris with the Pentax 67. They did a great job in transporting their mood of the city througout the whole movie.

For all DIY-junkies they explained the setup for this project on fstoppers.

Lightpainting - Flashlights belong to the past

The new method of lightpaiting is using the Pixelstick: An 8-Bit image is loaded via SD-Card and each line is screened with 200 color LEDs. The actual result then depends on the performance of the artist himself during the long term exposure.

This whole project started as a Kickstarter. Nice work! It brings a great new perspective into long term photography and time lapses as well.

Adventurous flight through paint

It seeed like an adventurous flight through paint when I watched the tv commercial for Sherwin-Williams’ Emerald Paint Collection. But instead of using computer effects - as I assumed - this whole world is created in a miniature set with a tank of water, paint and cameras.

Not another timelapse movie

As a lot of timelapse movies are produced and spread through media, it needs the special value to be distinguished from others.

The movie "Dubai Flow Motion"  is done by Rob Whitworth creates an impression of "flying off to Dubai". By the camera directions the viewer is able to follow parts of different storylines.

Another movie called "A Taste of Austria" - done by FilmSpektakel  - points out by its interesting sound design. Not just the images and their perspectives are connected, it is also playing with the sound in distance and closeness.

What happens if high voltage meets an instant color film? The artist Phillip Stearns made a study in this field and got a very colorful outcome ~

This documentation is about Vivian Maier who was doing streetphotography, but have never shown it. One day her pictures were found. The movie got quite positive feedback

Ambition of Science Facts

With the short film "Ambition" ESA makes curious about Rosetta's upcoming landing on a comet. The idea of ESA is to tell a story more than showing how the mission works. For that they got the Polish director Tomek Bagiński on board.

Great step towards experience campaigning!

Honda is using an interactive video to advertise for the new Honda Civic Type-R: By pressing the "R"-button and activating the "Race Mode" the user can switch between two parallel storylines. The video is directed by Daniel Wolfe and the experience itself is produced by the agency Stinkdigital Scott Dungate.

Candy Man

Not just his project "Eat Me" which is consisting of sugar and food coloring is great. His conceptual works are pretty inspiring as well. The artist I am talking about is Massimo Gammacurta. Check out his portfolio:
