“My life as a filmmaker has been a journey which has blessed me with the privilege of seeing some of the most surreal and timeless places on the planet. These images of our Sacred Earth set to music are my way of sharing some of the magic I’ve experienced along the way…” – “Sacred Earth” von Sean F. White:
“The video is Perpetual Oceans, and it’s made by NASA. It shows ocean currents, twisting and turning and undulating around the globe between June of 2005 and December of 2007. There’s no narration, just music. The idea is to put into images things that have previously only been words—here is the Gulf Stream, there’s the Kuroshio Current. Watching this, you get a better idea of oceans as a system, and it’s easy to see how—in the days before steam or gasoline powered engines—where you traveled to and from across the oceans was partly determined by how the ocean moved through that area.”
At a star party in August 2009 I took my first long exposure photograph of the night sky. I was so thrilled with the results that I dedicated most moonless weekends since then to photographing two things I love the most in nature - the night sky and the Ocean. … This time lapse video is the result of almost 1.5 years of work, 31 hours of taking images during six nights on Southern Ocean Coast in Australia.
“The Mountain” – TSO Photography schreibt über diese eindrucksvollen Zeitfrafferaufnahmen:
“This was filmed between 4th and 11th April 2011. I had the pleasure of visiting El Teide. Spain´s highest mountain (3718m) is one of the best places in the world to photograph the stars and is also the location of Teide Observatories, considered to be one of the world´s best observatories.
There was a lot of hiking at high altitudes and probably less than 10 hours of sleep in total for the whole week. A large sandstorm hit the Sahara Desert on the 9th April and at approx 3am in the night the sandstorm hit me, making it nearly impossible to see the sky with my own eyes. Interestingly enough my camera was set for a 5 hour sequence of the milky way during this time and I was sure my whole scene was ruined. To my surprise, my camera had managed to capture the sandstorm which was backlit by Grand Canary Island making it look like golden clouds. The Milky Way was shining through the clouds, making the stars sparkle in an interesting way. So if you ever wondered how the Milky Way would look through a Sahara sandstorm, look at 00:32.”
Samuel Cockedey hat für diesen Film etwa ein Jahr lang in Tokio, hauptsächlich im Bezirk Shinjuku, gefilmt. Musik: “Main Titles” und “Blush Response” von Vangelis’
“Als Schwabe muss ich auf den Wasen gehen!”: Ein klares Bekenntnis von Star-Coiffeur Udo Walz zu seiner schönen Heimat und zum größten Fest der Schwaben - dem Cannstadter Wasen:
Ryan Killackey about “A Day in California“: “I worked on this project on and off for over a year and a half. It is composed of over 10,000 photos shot in California by my wife and I.” Time-lapse footage of the Golden State set to the tune of Cinematic Orchestra — now with 100% more tilt-shift!
“Vancouver: Fireworks Draw a Crowd” von Dave Delnea Images: Commissioned as a crowd study during the Celebration of Light Fireworks show in Vancouver to illustrate how the crowd forms and disperses over the course of the day.
Der Australian Telescope Compact Array im Norden von New South Wales besteht aus sechs 22-Meter-Radioteleskopen. Diese traumhafte Zeitraffung zeigt, wie wir hinaushorchen in den Kosmos (und wie die Natur dem ziemlich gleichgültig gegenübersteht):
Den einen hängen Timelapse-Clips schon zum Hals raus. Das sind die, sich an einem neuen Effekt sattgesehen haben. Für andere destillieren sie dem Menschenauge zuvor unsichtbare Verläufe zu einer schnapsklar fließenden Wirklichkeit.
Dominic Boudreault aus Quebec hat ein Jahr lang an diesem Video gearbeitet. “My goal was to show the duality between city and nature. Locations include Montreal, Quebec, Quebec city, Toronto, Ontario (Canada), Manhattan and Chicago (USA).”
TSOphotography aus Oslo hat diese phatastischen Aufnahmen zwischen 29. April und 10. Mai 2011 auf den norwegischen Lofoten gemacht.
“My favorite natural phenomenon is one I do not even know the name of, even after talking to meteorologists and astrophysicists I am none the wiser.What I am talking about I have decided to call The Arctic Light and it is a natural phenomenon occurring 2-4 weeks before you can see the Midnight Sun.”
Musik: Marika Takeuchi, “The Arctic Light” (eigens für den Film komponiert)
“Most time lapse videos of the night sky show the stars and sky moving above a steady Earth. Here, however, the frames have been digitally rotated so that it is the stars that stay (approximately) steady, and the Earth that moves beneath them. The video dramatically shows the actual rotation of the Earth, called diurnal motion, in a clear and moving way, as if the camera were floating free in space. The telescopes featured in the video are the Very Large Telescopes (VLT) in Chile, a group of four of the largest optical telescopes deployed anywhere in the world.”
BostonAirborne schreibt zu seinem Kompilat vom Flughafen Boston: “Original footage was about an hour and 10 minutes. It took about 7 1/2 hours to render this elapsed time video. Rendered the video three times in Sony Vegas to reduce the footage to 2:30 minutes long.” | Musik. Massive Attack
Zu seinem Film “The Mountain” und den grandiosen Naturschauspielen, die er zeigt, schreibt Terje Sorgjerd: “This was filmed between 4th and 11th April 2011. I had the pleasure of visiting El Teide. Spain´s highest mountain (3718m) is one of the best places in the world to photograph the stars and is also the location of Teide Observatories, considered to be one of the world´s best observatories.”
“Japan is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. This is my Japan. This is one of the many reasons why I love Japan. I shot this in many locations around Japan in the summer of 2009. Some of the location include Tokyo, Matsuyama, Imabari, Nagano, Gifu, and Ishizushisan.”
Der Platz vor dem Bahnhof Shibuya in Tokio gehört zu den meistgefilmten Orten der Welt. Die hier und in dem umgebenden gleichnamigen Stadtteil mit hochkomplexer Störungsfreiheit ineinanderflutenden Menschenmassen wirken nur in der Zeitrafferbeschleunigung beunruhigend. | Gefilmt von einem Vimeo-User mit dem schönen Pseudonym James T. Kirk:
