Baobab (2007, 56.1MB, 1:56 min)

Lovely piece from UK based animator Ceiren Bell.
Although one can see the influence of Kentridge

Brian Gibson – Parabolic

Parabolic
Parabolic (2007, 35.5MB, 4:50 min.)

This bit of intense gorgeousness was made from cell phone
video footage (funny how we still use that word, footage)
by Brian Gibson who sometimes posts here.
If it was simply lovely that would be enough, but it’s very
structured too – Brian has such a great feel for the intrinsic
qualities of the material but also a real editing eye…

Eclectic – Ross Ching

Eclectic (2007, 66MB, 2:26 min.)

“This film I created by myself. It is a series of time-lapse shots that I edited
together and put to music. Rather than using a regular video camera,
I opted to use a digital SLR camera because it allowed me to shoot in ultra
high definition as well as get the depth of field only available to film cameras”.

Mini Me
Mini-Me (2005, 12.1MB, 2:25 min)

These two videos by Donna Kuhn were made in circumstances of terrible
personal loss: the death of her son & then later that of a close friend.
Astonishing then, their delicacy & richness & the sheer dexterity of
handling & making, particularly in I don’t fix a word which
is a jewel, a small masterpiece.

Haloweb

Haloweb (2006, 14.2MB, 2:04 min.)

Work from Carl Burton, trading as holographicwainscoting.
I love this stuff. It’s strange but not
simply
strange, you know,
not just something you grin or raise an eyebrow at and then move on.
There’s substance & there’s an austere lyricism (if that ‘s not too much of an oxymoron)
to the substance too.
We’re going to do three posts on this work & you’ll see an interesting evolution
from the first two to the final one.

Simulacra (2004, 24MB, 7:06 min.)

‘Shot from within a gaming environment, Joseph Farbrook takes a critical look at games that we continuously play. Just as virtual-reality is a consensual hallucination, structures such as money, power, and ownership are also consensual dreams.’
