I recommend watching both of these videos. The issues 99% of Americans are dealing with are not specific to America. It would be naïve to think so. Add Comment urbanized out 09/20/2011
I've been looking forward to Urbanized for a looong time. I really enjoyed Gary Huswit's last two films, Helvetica and Objectified, I'm just bummed there isn't a screening date scheduled for Vancouver. banksy's antics roadshow 08/19/2011
I watched this short documentary made by Banksy. It thoroughly entertained me. I appreciate those who question authority. Banksy's 'incomplete guide to total anarchy' provides a greatest hits of wayward behaviour, sedition and sabotage. An hour-long special made by Banksy charting the history of behaving badly in public, from anarchists and activists to attention seeking eccentrics. vivian maier 06/26/2011
By now, I hope you've heard the name Vivian Maier and have seen some of her recently uncovered, beautiful street photography of Chicago and NYC from the 1950s on. I'm happy to hear that a new documentary about her is being produced. I can't wait to find out who Vivian Maier was in more detail. go to www.vivianmaier.com to learn about her story and see her work. everything is a remix, no really 06/22/2011
I guess it doesn't surprise me but I had no idea about all that Led Zeppelin stuff and they're easily my favourite classic rock band. It's just so blatant, which leads me believe that it wasn't malicious music stealing, just that rules of appropriation were probably still in their infancy back then. Interesting nonetheless and definitely looking forward to part IV. Remixing is a folk art but the techniques involved — collecting material, combining it, transforming it — are the same ones used at any level of creation. You could even say that everything is a remix. To support this series please visit everythingisaremix.info/?page_id=14 It happens to be a huge coincidence that I just watched Star Wars: Return of the Jedi for the first time tonight and now part II is showing me all its influences. I'm not knocking Star Wars by any means, but it's clear that it's not a marvel of originality, (not sure that it claims to be one?) as my appreciation for the series is still new. An exploration of the remix techniques involved in producing films. Part Two of a four-part series. An additional supplement to this video can be seen here: goo.gl/gtArc If you ever listen to Quentin Tarantino talk about film you can tell he has a huge understanding of film history and can pull from a mega database of movies, referencing decades of scenes, styles, metaphors, dialogue, you name it. It's pretty impressive to see it all remixed (pun intended) together. Sometimes the best way to visually portray an idea is by using existing imagery of what you envision and compiling it to create a whole. It works, Kill Bill is a film that I can watch repeatedly based solely on its graphic quality and visual style. An extrapolation on the "One Last Thing" from Kirby Ferguson's web series Everything Is A Remix - Episode 2: vimeo.com/19447662 Edited by Robert Grigsby Wilson Produced by Kirby Ferguson and Robert Grigsby Wilson Dedicated to Sally Menke, Quentin Tarantino's Editor, who passed away last year. She was a great inspiration to me. For more information, visit EverythingIsARemix.info RobGWilson.com So it is with every new thing.

This just exploded my heart. I love time lapse, especially when it's pointed at the sky. Watch full screen. Plains Milky Way from Randy Halverson on Vimeo. During the month of May, I shot Milky Way timelapse in central South Dakota, when I had the time, and the weather cooperated. The biggest challenge was cloudy nights and the wind. There were very few nights, when I could shoot, that were perfectly clear, and often the wind was blowing 25mph +. That made it hard to get the shots I wanted. I kept most of the shots low to the ground, so the wind wouldn't catch the setup and cause camera shake, or blow it over. I used a Stage Zero Dolly on the dolly shots and a "Milapse" mount on the panning ones. Canon 60D and T2i Tokina 11-16 Sigma 20mm F1.8 Tamron 17-50 Dynamic Perception Stage Zero Dolly dynamicperception.com Shot in RAW format, the Milky Way shots were 30 seconds exposure F2.8 or F1.8 with 2 second interval between shots, for 3-4 hours run time.

It's really sad and unfortunate that Modern Architecture isn't maintained and appreciated for its simplistic forms, forward-thinking ideals, innovation and engineering. It's usually the quietness and efficiency of these structures that gets ignored and over-looked. Someone needs to tell Brad Pitt that Phillis Wheatley Elementary School needs preserving before it's too late. Learning that New Orleans was once a hot bed for Modern Architecture makes me want to travel there even more to document what was and what is now. A Plea For Modernism from Evan Mather on Vimeo. The Phillis Wheatley Elementary School has served the historic New Orleans African-American neighborhood of Tremé since it opened in 1955. Celebrated worldwide for its innovative, regionally-expressive modern design – the structure sustained moderate damage during the storms and levee breach of 2005. Although it is scheduled for demolition in Summer 2011, DOCOMOMO Louisiana is advocating for its restoration via adaptive reuse. "A Plea For Modernism" is narrated by actor Wendell Pierce (“The Wire”, “Treme”). accidental sea 05/18/2011

I just watched documentary, Cameraman: the Life and Work of Jack Cardiff, at Pacific Cinémathèque. I recommend this film to anyone interested in photography, cinematography or painting. It's a great behind the scenes look at early film making from a technical perspective. Cardiff explains his motivation and understanding of lighting and how he was influenced by classical paintings. This film goes through his black and white experience into Technicolor. In movies today, I see a definite decline in the understanding of lighting and camera-work as a character as important as a lead. But every once and awhile a film comes out that uses lighting and camera technique expertly to contribute to a story. Off hand, the Cook, the Thief, his Wife & her Lover and Pan's Labyrinth come to mind. Both worth checking out for the cinematography and symbolism, and both are films I often think about. And of course the unforgettable staple, Citizen Kane, I learned a ton about photography from this movie. All photographers should own a copy, it will undoubtedly improve your black and white photography. The Cook, the Thief, his Wife & her Lover (1989) Pan's Labyrinth (2006) | krista + blog = klog
