V.O.W N°46 // I Believe I Can Fly (Flight of the Frenchies)

photo © Seb Montaz V.O.W N°46 (21-27 November 2011) Art can take shape in many different forms and experiences. A successful work of art can take the viewer to another place completely. Whether this place is in the recesses of your subconscious, or it is a piece that shows you a part of the world or a side of humanity that was unknown to you before, art expands your point of view. In this case we have a documentary film that takes your point of view and throws it off a cliff into the Norweigan fjords or teases it across a tightrope connecting two skyscrapers in Paris. Directed by Seb MontazSound design by Michael Denny Song used: The Rural Alberta Advantage. Montaz hasn’t had any formal training in film but he was determined to teach himself all he would need to know to capture his passion for this documentary. It is this undying passion that gave birth to the film that has so far achieved great critical acclaim and a lot of solid recognition across the Internet. sources: Seb Montaz

The FLIZ Pedal-Less Bike Concept Saddle up! Oh wait... Finding your bike too conventional? In the "crazy ways to get around" category, the FLIZ pedal-less bike is certain to turn heads. While it's not the most practical bike-variation I've seen, it has the benefit of actually working, unlike some other prototypes. I doubt it'll catch on because, unlike on a bike, you have no gearing, but it's still an interesting idea. Check out the video below to see it in action: For more details, check out the official FLIZ website (you might need to use Google Translate if you can't read german).
