This post contains a number of extremely large animated GIFs which might taken a moment to fully download. Sorry for any inconvenience. Director Kevin Parry (previously) recently directed a wonderful music video for Kalle Matson, shot by Andrea Nesbitt, featuring a number of visual special effects that appear to slingshot the camera through wide views of San Francisco.
Parry has a full gallery of smaller animations where you can see some of the isolated shots, but I had him export seven large, absolutely bandwidth-sucking versions, five of which are above.

By the help of our vision we are able to recognize friends within a huge crowd, approximate the speed of an oncoming car or simply admire a painting. Objective investigations and subjective imagination collide to one inseparable process. Software One of the key aspects of this project, is the autonomy of the face searching agent and the amount of data we are investigating. In order to process the face detection algorithm on top of different satellite images and store the geographical coordinates, we needed a precise communication between our standalone application and a virtual browser surfing Google Maps.
