This pixilation [stop-motion animation using real people] was made in 2006 for Screen South as part of the UK Film Council’s Digital Shorts scheme. As much as possible, it was made ‘in camera’ without digital superimposure, using thousands of printed materials.

GAME: Vectoroid

Vectoroid may be nothing more than a bunch of lines and points, but this homage to Asteroids is a literal blast with upgrades, enemies, hit points and a gun that never stops firing.

PLAY IT!

ME by Ahree Lee

•December 30, 2008 • Leave a Comment

Horaa! About a year ago now, when my internet was faster than the DeLorean DMC-12 Time Machine traveling in a vacuum of free space! I used to surf the web for filmmaking tips, short films, inspirational stories, guidelines, forums and pretty much anything film related you can name. Well one time I came across a video on AtomFilms, where a girl by the name of Ahree Lee began taking digital snapshots of her own face every day for three years. That stuck with me and I just came across it again today.

This time-lapse face motif montage has become common on the internet [“Everyday” by Noah Kalina] and I’ve seen a fair few; but this montage in particular is the best. The wicked sound-engineered ambient musical score helps too:

“Each second of screen time you will see amounts to about a week’s worth of pictures”

Since November 2001, I have been taking a picture of myself every day. Put together in a video the days fly by at roughly a week per second, blending together to make a new image that transforms over time. The resulting portrait creates a tension between continuous film image and individual photos brought to the foreground occasionally by stray cropped edges.

Through its flickering instability, “Me” becomes a meditation on image, identity, and ultimately, mortality. This installment covers three years of a long-term project intended to continue indefinitely.

Sometimes the best ideas are the simplest ones, executed through dedication.

Japanorama – Season 3 [Latest Episodes]

JAPANORAMA

JAPANORAMA! BBC’s Short Documentary Series On Japan:

     Part 1


     Part 2


     Part 3

Pretty cool series. My only complaint is the fucking voice dub-over’s. I can read BBC and I want to hear their voices. Kind of a major flaw in the documentary that is solely about Japan; when they don’t allow the [Japanese] speakers voice to be heard.

Still, very informative and entertaining.

GAME: Space Invaders + Newton’s Law = PHYSICS INVADER

•December 22, 2008 • Leave a Comment

What Happens When You Take Space Invaders And Give Them Realistic Physical Properties? I’ll Tell You What You Get I Will. You Get PHYSICS INVADER!

PLAY IT!

Created by Yoshio Ishii for Japan’s NekoGames, Physics Invader is a physics-based remake of Taito’s arcade classic, which applies physics, including gravity and mass to the demise of the 8-bit aliens. As your laser cannon pierces each invader, its tiny little pixelated body falls to the ground, and their little carcasses pile up at the bottom of the screen.

But why write up wordy descriptions of the game when you can play it for yourself?

Sir Isaac Newton would be proud.
