Moment of Zen
I’ve recently found myself being giddily rediscovering street art. The massive format, the unusual locations, the differing techniques all make seeing art outside a very different experience than the controlled experience of a gallery show. There’s something immensely appealing about being surprised by beauty when you least expect it; about finding it when it’s just [...]

It’s been a while since I saw a video that made my jaw drop and felt was worthy of Moment of Zen status, but Wizard Smoke fits the bill to a tee. I love seeing beautiful cinematography mixed with unique effects, especially when those effects are just quirky ways of playing with color and light [...]

Came across this beautiful short by Terri Timely today on the subject of Synesthesia. The cinematography in this film is stunning and there’s a very nice arc in the story which starts of gradually and builds like a complex piece of music.

This beautiful short stars Audrey Tautou and was directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet for Chanel No 5 perfume. The film builds an amazing amount of anticipation in its 2:20 run-time. Even without dialogue, beautiful cinematography really brings the narrative to life.

The name of the installation is Multiverse, and it was installed by artist Leo Villareal in a 200-foot-long tunnel in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. The entire thing features 41,000 LEDs that animate and move on their own, using randomness to ensure that no one will see the same configurations twice. Multiverse [...]

I came across this beautiful ad today. I love to see traditional animation techniques taken to the next level by integrating them with photography and video. The flow in this clip is fantastic, and down-right mesmerizing… as long as you watch it with the volume down because, unfortunately, it’s selling investments.
The youtube clip doesn’t [...]
