Définitions TiltShift TimeLapse SlowMotion StopMotion LightPainting et bien d'autres - #Olybop Je ne sais pas si ce post existe déjà mais j’avais envie de faire un gros résumé de tout ce que l’on peux voir comme belles choses sur la toile. Avec la multiplicité des supports et la démocratisation des techniques, je voulais éclairer les lanternes de ceux dont tous les mots « techniques » sont plus du charabia qu’autre chose. Pour ceux que rien n’échappe, cela fait toujours du bien de revoir les bases et de partager ses expériences. Si vous suivez Olybop.info depuis quelques temps, vous n’êtes pas sans savoir que je suis assez friand des différentes vidéo/photos utilisants un maximum de techniques. (normal c’est « graphique » et « design ») Chaque technique est décrite ci-dessous et est associé à une image et des exemples concrets. TiltShift : Définition : Ce qu’on appelle TiltShift c’est une technique applicable à une photo ou vidéo donnant l’impression que le rendu final d’une scène de vie est une maquette. TimeLapse SlowMotion Définition : C’est « l’image au ralenti ». Stop-motion

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr Morris Lessmore: An Interpretation The world has become a harsh place. One moment you're sitting reading peacefully, the other you're in the middle of a storm. Though, figuratively, the storm could come in many different forms, they all have one thing in common – they can affect everybody except those shielded by the power of knowledge. In such uncertain times, when everyone sees grey, only they can tell the white from the black. While everybody runs for their lives, Mr Morris Lessmore runs after the book he was reading before the storm came. The world is turning upside down, yet this is not enough to turn him away from his life goal – seeking knowledge. However, if not refreshed inside the mind, knowledge gradually evapourates with time. In no time, Lessmore becomes as black and white as the messy world he finds himself in. But knowledge never fails those who seek it. He finds himself in a library inhabited by millions of fantastic, flying books. Mr Lessmore, above all, shares his knowledge of books with others.

UbuWeb Activity Ideas - Squish Squash and Squeeze I have had loads of emails about planning since I posted about my work with Tim so my next post will be a planning one (or two, if I can't fit it into one)! In the mean time thought I would share my activities from today with you... It was meant to be a rare day off but it seems that the printing press waits for no man and I had to get my photoshoot sorted out for the next '50 Fantastic Things' book. I have to say a HUGE thank you to Jo and all of the team at Penguins Pre-School in Timperley who were super organised and super helpful and made the shoot run like a dream. Here are a few of the things that we did... Mix some food colouring with water in a potPut 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil into the bottom of your plastic bagThen add 4 tablespoons of coloured waterWAIT (and see what happens)Add 4 tablespoons of golden syrup to the bag.WAIT Zip up the bag and let the children squish. I know that jelly is a regular favourite but it never fails to get great results. Pink marshmallows in a bowl.

The Global Vibe | The Limerick Vibe What is the Global Vibe Movement? Anywhere that the recession has hit hard, particularly in urban areas of the Western world, there are empty buildings in town and city centres. At the same time, these areas have many individuals who want to pass on their skills to help improve social wellbeing. Since this community-based project was launched in November 2011, it has gone from strength to strength. Whatever you want to call your local project, the Vibe model can be put to use internationally. We wish you great success with your project! The Global Vibe.

How we made: Alison Prince and Brian Cant on Trumpton | Television & radio Alison Prince, scriptwriter I'd written a children's series called Joe, so I was already kicking around the BBC. At some point, Monica Sims, head of children's broadcasting, said: "Oh, you wouldn't like to write some stories for a puppet series, would you?" I didn't have a TV, but I had three kids to feed, so I said yes. Another problem was that the puppets all looked exactly the same. At that time, I was living in a rented flat. It's all Trumpton's part of what is now considered the golden age of children's TV, but at the time we didn't think of it like that. Brian Cant, narrator We used to record Trumpton in the bedroom of the show's composer, Freddie Phillips. Trumpton was the second of three series we did about Trumptonshire. It's very nice that it's been remastered – but where's my repeat fee? • This article was amended on 22 February 2012 to correct a quote from Alison Prince.
