Send me a Google+ message or send me a Tweet at Introduction This is an exciting new combination of hardware and technique that is now available to everyone – from hobbyist to professional – you’ll have a great time. I enjoy experimenting and then sharing techniques and how-tos with people. The Effect in Two Minutes You’ll get a good idea of the technique by watching this video below. “Stuck in Motion” I first released this “video” called “The Moments Between: Episode 1: Japan“. Japan: Heartbeats of Time Here is another example — I integrated several techniques, including Stuck In Motion, to make this video. Sometimes people just want to know the specifics, so here you go: Hardware: Slow-motion footage – I used the Casio EX-FC100.

The KidLion's Den, Possibly the most epic Frustrated Nice Guy rant ever... packaging - “Pointless, action-free and totally mesmerising” « Straylight -as described on b3ta Statistically speaking, if you’re reading this site, it’s because of this video: It’s actually a few months old, and (as the name suggests) the second attempt at a project, Glide, that I described here back in July. Except it seems that the hit counter hadn’t so much stabilised as jammed: by now it’s gone thoroughly viral, with just over 100K views- more than everything else I’ve put online, combined, by an order of magnitude. The Method Both glides were filmed by sticking a – relatively cheap – digital camera out of the window of a train as it arrived at a station. At least one other person has tried this before: Trey Ratcliff captured a station in Japan this way over a year ago, describing the effect as “Stuck in motion“. The Technology Was cheap! The Sound There isn’t any! The Action There isn’t much of this either! The Legality The Future
SCHOPENHAUER'S 38 STRATAGEMS, OR 38 WAYS TO WIN AN ARGUMENT Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860), was a brilliant German philosopher. These 38 Stratagems are excerpts from "The Art of Controversy", first translated into English and published in 1896. Carry your opponent's proposition beyond its natural limits; exaggerate it. The more general your opponent's statement becomes, the more objections you can find against it. The more restricted and narrow his or her propositions remain, the easier they are to defend by him or her. Use different meanings of your opponent's words to refute his or her argument.

Four tasmanian camels traveling on a very narrow ledge encounter four tasmanian camels coming the other way. As everyone knows, tasmanian camels never go backwards, especially when on a precarious ledge. The camels didn't see each other until there was only exactly one camel's width between the two groups. How can all camels pass, allowing both groups to go on their way, without any camel reversing? Show Hint Show Solution Hint: Use match sticks or coins to simulate the puzzle. Solution: First a camel from one side moves forward, then two camels from the other side move forward, then three camels from the first side move forward etc... etc... 2.

Shinosaka to Tokyo I came across this video on Reddit tonight and was pretty much blown away by the concept, but not necessarily the execution. Then I read the comments where someone had linked to the above video and I was absolutely mesmerized. Visually the whole thing is very reminiscent of Michel Gondry’s video for Star Guitar. Now if the whole thing would just sync up the same. The video was made using a simple mirror filter and an HD video camera, shot from a train. I use a lot of mirroring effects for live visuals, but never on material shot from a moving vehicle. Oh and if you haven’t had your videos-shot-from-a-train fill yet, here’s one shot using a high speed camera from a high speed train, in slow motion. And here are a couple more from Tokyo, this time shot from a car.
Call of Apathy: Violent Young Men and Our Place in War » Medium Difficulty By W. [Editor’s Note: W is an experienced soldier with combat experience in several corners of the world. They are now working as a PMC and cannot reveal their identity due to the possibility of backlash. As they put it, “The military is a very, very tight-knit community.” W's opinions are, of course, their own.] Disclaimer: I am not an academic. I am a private military contractor, and I have an issue with the depiction of war in videogames — or more specifically, the soldiers in those games. When I say soldier, let me be clear that I am talking about the Infantryman and the Special Forces operator, as I have next to no knowledge about anything outside of this relatively small percentile of service personnel. Unfortunately, the vast majority of games featuring the military focus on these frontline combat troops in “realistic” action. Imagine a war game where you could only move at a slow walking pace. Every mission is set in the same level. Only a violent sociopath would play this game.
The Customized Play (et retour sur les boulots de Jin Sung Choi) En 2010 je pointais le travail du méconnu sud-coréen Jin Sung Choi travaillant dans le jeu-vidéo et réalisant seul sur son temps libre des films avec un style de 3D cellshading séduisant, notamment Entering the mind through the mouth (que j'avais diffusé dans la soirée 10 ans Catsuka sur Nolife). Il a ouvert récemment un compte Vimeo permettant de (re)découvrir son travail, et aussi un bout de son prochain film, The Customized Play : Voir plus d'images sur www.brianjin.com et le Tumblr Catsuka. Et parmi les précédents films et vidéos de Jin, à revoir : "Entering the Mind Through the Mouth" (également dispo sur le Catsuka Player) : "Tom N Jerry" (également dispo sur le Catsuka Player) : "Memories of the Song" (clip) :
