Umbra

This short film by Malcolm Sutherland is about, “an explorer [who] adventures into an unknown world, yet it seems that he has been there before.

Many thanks goes to ‘The Baldness’ for sending it in for our perusal. Cheers!

Scintillation

French filmmaker Xavier Chassaing put together this stunner by combining over 35,000 photographs utilizing “an innovative mix of stop motion and live projection mapping techniques.”

Two Weeks

Created as an unofficial fan project by Gabe Askew.  Very very very cool stuff.

The official video is not-too-shabby, either (though, in my humble opinion, it doesn’t hold a candle to Gabe’s).

The Silhouettes

The best music videos are the ones in which the visuals and music are so complimentary it seems as though they were created at precisely the same moment.  This is one of those videos.  Top-flight, late-night viewing folks!

Featuring the music of Sam Prekop (released on Chicago’s Thrill Jockey Records), this video was directed by Jordan Kim who also shared some of the animation duties along with Cris Shapan, Michael Wingate and Patrick Armitage.

Come back down

A visual journey – created by Clement Picon – that’s perfect for contemplation and reflection.  The soundtrack by Jviewz is a fitting accompaniment to the visuals and ties the whole affair together rather nicely.  Best served late at night with the lights dimmed.

Oh and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Water & Rocks

Mellow. Chill. Gorgeous.  Aaaaaand it ends with a hot-air ballon ride, can it get any better?  New Zealand sure is gorgeous…

Visuals by Metron, audibles by SaReGaMa.

‘something’ by Cyriak

Cyriak describes this, his latest video as, “a journey into horribleness, not recommended for the faint-hearted or fragile-minded.”

This might make you bug out – on the other hand, maybe it won’t.  Only one way to find out, eh?

Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas

Do you watch Community?  If you don’t, you really should check it out.  A Joel McHale vehicle this is not. The real stars of the show are Donald Glover and Danny Pudi who play Troy and Abed, respectively.  Their interactions have been at the heart of some of my favorite Community moments (especially their closing bits which always get me laughing). The recent Christmas episode was indicative of the overall quality of the show and, if you haven’t seen it already, you really should set aside some time to watch it.  I’ve embedded the video right here, in this very post for your convenience, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
