Posted by Shareef in animation, photography, shortfilm on February 14th, 2010
A highly imaginative stop-motion animation by Riccardo Crocetta using clay sculpting. The chess game evolves into a full on battle involving Pawns with swords and spears, and even flying unicorns.
The position after 13…Bh3, and the ones that follow, were used in Stanley Kubrick’s movie “2001: A Space Odyssey” for the game between Frank Poole and the HAL-9000 Super Computer.

Theo Tagholm has devised a new style of stop-motion animation whereby each photograph seamlessly morphs into the next to produce an eerie, almost ghostly drifting motion. He calls it Still Moving – a combination of stop-motion photography, tilt-shift photography and motion tracking. He hasn’t given much away about the technique, but it uses After Effects.

This is Immersive Media’s 360° interactive video of earthquake hit Haiti. This amazing new concept has been in development for years and uses a multi-lensed camera to capture all angles which are then processed later using their own post production suite. This will revolutionise the way we capture footage.
Immersive Media’s patented flagship, the Dodeca® 2360 camera system, captures high-resolution video from every direction simultaneously. It delivers 100 million pixels at 30 frames per second (2400×1200 pixels/frame) and supports a number of video formats. And at 2.5 lbs., the Dodeca camera head is highly portable and by using available accessories it is easily attached to automobiles, helicopters, backpacks and rigging equipment for any filming requirement.

This picture of a hunting wolf has won Jose Luis Rodriguez the Veolia Environment Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2009 award. The picture took years to plan, and he spent long hours patiently observing the movements of packs of wolves. He even sketched his idea out on paper. Speaking to the BBC, Jose said:
I wanted to capture a photo in which you would see a wolf in an act of hunting – or predation – but without blood. I didn’t want a cruel image.

This featurette exposes the immense planning and pre-production work that Wes Anderson and his crew have undergone to bring Roald Dahl’s beloved novel to the big screen. The use of real hair, custom made clothes (01:01) and sets (01:16), coupled with on-location sound recordings (02:00) will give a very authentic look and feel to the final movie.
