Bottle by Kirsten Lepore | Animation Short Film Kirsten Lepore must be very much in demand. She just has to be. She has the most perfectly attuned sensibilities I have yet seen in a short filmmaker towards what is current in culture. Her animations, a mix of twee and handicraft enveloped in bittersweet wrappers, are amazing artifacts; clever and nostalgic in mood, precious and handcrafted in design—these films celebrate life, but never far from that sentiment is the specter of loss. Bottle is her greatest achievement yet. Winner of the Vimeo Audience Award for Animation this year, it tells the story of two unlikely penpals; one a mound of sand, the other a pile of snow. This combination has earned the film due praise—it was my favorite film of that Vimeo Fest, though I’m ashamed I hadn’t caught it earlier, having enjoyed Lepore’s prior film, the cupcake odyssey Sweet Dreams, so much. This is arguably a reach, but Bottle captures a current cultural desire to engage in the world on a physical, experiential level.
Supermajor at ILLUSION - YouTube Time-lapse photography is an interesting technique that records a scene or objects that has a slow state-of-change and turns it into a video that plays back in high speed. The easiest way to do it is to have your camera stationary on something that changes slowly (e.g. clouds, plants growing, etc) and start taking series of photo for hours or even days. Hours and hour’s worth of photos are compressed into a video with merely few minutes playtime, thus creating a time lapsing effect. In another word, it allows us to see the progress faster without having to wait along the actual time. Spotting sun’s movement from sunrise to sunset takes about 12 hours; it’s boring and you probably won’t notice the changes. In this article, we’ll show you how to create your own Time-lapse video.

You're Distracted. This Professor Can Help. - Technology By Marc Parry Seattle Matthew Ryan Williams for The Chronicle Before each class session, David Levy leads his students in a few minutes of meditation. To complete her homework assignment, Meran Hill needed total concentration. Then she plunged into the task: Spend 15 minutes doing e-mail. Soon enough, though, a familiar craving bubbled up. As Ms. But the assignment had her trapped. The e-mail drill was one of numerous mind-training exercises in a unique class designed to raise students' awareness about how they use their digital tools. Their professor, David M. At its extreme, that debate plays out in the writing of authors whom the critic Adam Gopnik has dubbed the Never-Betters and the Better-Nevers. On college campuses, meanwhile, educators struggle to manage what the Stanford University multitasking researcher Clifford Nass describes as a radical shift in the nature of attention. Amid this scampering attention, some fear for the future of long-form reading. When I ask Mr. But Mr. Mr.

Blog | Kids of Integrity We hope you enjoy this Christmas idea from Laurel Kirchner, creator of Kids of Integrity. It'll help you maintain a little KOI momentum in December without adding extra stress to a super-busy season! Christmas inspiration from Laurel: Come December, most of us don’t have time to be organizing complex crafts or planning additional activities. Putting together a “just like Jesus bowl” or basket is a very simple way to keep a Christ-focus in your home this holiday season, and a great way to review the Kids of Integrity lessons you’ve been doing. All you need is 15 minutes, a box of Christmas decorations, ribbon, gift tags, a pen and a bowl. Make gift tags that feature Kids of Integrity character traits (i.e. patience, respect, contentedness, harmony, self-control). Sprinkle truths from these Bible verses into your conversations: 1 John 2:5-6 “But if anyone obeys His word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. 1 John 4:19-21 “We love because He first loved us.
The Candidate I don’t say the following words lightly: the opening scene of David Karlak’s The Candidate is perfect. Absolutely perfect. We watch as our lead character, Burton Grunzer, disdainfully observes his work nemesis, Whitman Hayes, fumbling to set up for a corporate presentation. Now, that in itself may not sound engaging, but Karlak’s handling of it—his polished camera moves, the virtuosic editing, the driving music, all of which is underscored by actor Tom Gulager’s superlatively droll, Patrick Bateman-esque voice over—is pure cinematic magic. Yes, I know The Candidate is 19 minutes long. But, watch that opening scene—watch it and I dare you to tell me that you’re not hooked. After that introduction, I’d be willing to follow Karlak anywhere. Penned by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton (Feast) and based on a short story by Henry Slezar, The Candidate made the 2011 Viewfinder list (sort of like the Black list for aspiring filmmakers).
