Music Video Shot with iPhone QuadCamera App: “
Takayuki Fukatsu, the creator of the QuadCamera App (read my interview with him here) in his latest post mentions what could possibly be one of the first music videos shot with an iPhone. What makes the video compelling is the use of the QuadCamera App to give it a great stop motion feel.

Metronomy – A Thing For Me: Inventively Motion-tracked Music Video: “
One of the big advantages of building a project around a single effect or idea is that you can spend time experimenting, and build interesting permutations of your central idea:
A Thing For Me from Metronomy on Vimeo.
From a ridiculously basic central tenet, and some reasonably simple motion-tracking and animation, this piece unfolds some fascinating and entertaining ideas.

Colorama - Paint By Numbers by Upper First: “
Client: Colorama
Agency: McCann Malmö
Direction: Upper First
Production: Upper First
Sound design: Kungen & Hertigen
Year: 2009
The idea behind the interior film has its origin in childrens play with colouring books, or paint-by-numbers. In our film a woman designs a room in the paint-by-number manner to display the wide variety of choices you have using Colorama products when decorating interiors. The film starts in a white void associating to a blank piece of paper with endless possibilities and total freedom. A gigantic hand comes in and executes the creative decisions made by the woman. Just as in the tilt-shift idea the thought is to create an interesting expression through displacement of scale as a contrast between worlds. The slight absurd becomes interesting. We’ll shoot an actor in a studio and will then create the outlines of the room in 3D. This will give us freedom in the expression. In the last shot we will mix visual effects with a real set to complete the illusion.”

Experimental Animation: Dreaming of Lucid Living: “
Yoo sends along this charming animation from CalArts Animation program student Miwa Matreyek, entitled ‘Dreaming of Lucid Living.’ Merging digital effects with a silhouetted character, Miwa creates elegant shadow play. It’s not hard to imagine this kind of technique being applied to live performance – just look at the centuries-old tradition of wayang shadow puppet theater in Indonesia.
Over at the Vixid blog I’ve been looking at the work of French ‘video scenographer’ Perrick Sorin, who integrates projection, live video, and chromakeying into stage performance.
In contrast to the epic, distant pieces created with Projection Mapping (which don’t generally work when you get closer to the object), these techniques give a more intimate look at what the actors are doing on the stage.
