London in 1927 from Tim Sparke on Vimeo.

Incredible colour footage of 1920s London shot by an early British pioneer of film named Claude Frisse-Greene, who made a series of travelogues using the colour process his father William - a noted cinematographer - was experimenting with. It’s like a beautifully dusty old postcard you’d find in a junk store, but moving.

Music by Jonquil and Yann Tiersen.

THE MAN WHO LIVED ON HIS BIKE from Guillaume Blanchet on Vimeo.

I love being on a bike, it helps me feel free. I get it from my dad. After days and days of cycling the streets of Montreal, come cold or sun, or even a little frightened, I dedicate this film to him.

Meet Me in Big Sur from Andrew Julian on Vimeo.

Check out my latest film The Quiet City: Winter in Paris.
vimeo.com/62959319

Have you ever wanted to visit Big Sur? Yes or no, take my advice and GO! Call in sick or do whatever you need to do and go; you will not be sorry. I have been dreaming of exploring Big Sur for years now and finally did it! My wife and I packed our car and drove with no plans other than to end up in Big Sur. Driving along the Pacific Coast Highway is an incredible experience and being able to really take our time and explore was easily the best start to a new year I’ve ever had.

Trying to bring the Spirit of California’s central coast into this film has been difficult. I’ve tried my best, but pictures just can’t do it justice. No camera can perfectly capture the raw power and beauty of the Pacific Ocean or the feeling of standing near the ledge of a high cliff while the sun sets.

I used my Blackmagic Cinema Camera for this film and the color and latitude that shooting in raw provides still amazes me. The flexibility that uncompressed raw gives you in post production makes the 1 Terabyte per 2 hours of footage data rate worth it. I also can’t wait to use the new firmware that’s been announced! Many more great options to expand the capabilities and improve the workflow. It definitely would have made this shoot a bit easier.

P.S. If you can, watch this film with good speakers and turn it up! Be careful though, it gets much louder towards the end.

Hayaku: A Time Lapse Journey Through Japan from Brad Kremer on Vimeo.

**To all those affected by the earthquake and tsunami. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We wish for the safety of you all.**

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.

I started this as a personal project to try and capture the beauty that I see in Japan. It started as just that…

But now that I have finished, I see it only as a beginning. This video, along with SAIJO MATSURI (vimeo.com/7458088) is just the start of a much larger project that I have now decided to do.

Anyone interested in helping fund/produce this dream of mine please feel free to contact me:

So I hope you enjoy this preview of what is to come in the future.

Camera: Canon 5DMKII

Edit: A very big THANK YOU to all the amazing comments from everyone! It is a great feeling to have one’s work appreciated and possibly to inspire. Domo Arigatou!

Frank Gehry & Vlado Milunić’s Dancing House (Tančící Dům)

If you ever visit Prague, the famous Nationale-Nederlanden building, nicknamed Dancing House (Tančící dům) or “Fred and Ginger,” is hard to miss. It sits in the middle of a densely built section of Prague, surrounded by other structures that are nearly all the city’s standard Baroque or Art Nouveau styles.

It was designed by Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Milunić and Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry on a vacant riverfront plot of great historical significance. Its site was the location of a house that was destroyed by the U.S. bombing of Prague in 1945 during World War II. The plot and structure lay decrepit until 1960 when the area was cleared.

The building’s deconstructivist dancing shape is supported by 99 concrete panels, each a different shape and dimension. On the top of the building is a large twisted structure of metal nicknamed Medusa. To see more photos of the quirky architectural marvel, visit the Tančící dům | Dancing House location page.

Funny and eye-catching
