Radiolab: Moments, A Visual Experiment by Will Hoffman

I showed this piece to my class last semester and it took everyone’s breath away. I’m posting this today because it’s the single most requested link in my life! I mean, seriously- Will Hoffman… this is incredible! Touching- human moments you can’t help but relate to. The music loop is gentle- doesn’t force any particular emotion on you (thank you!) but moves the piece along. This is a brilliant example of how to cut video- on motion, form, color… inspiring.

At The End Of Yonge Street

I’m taking the summer off to write a Multimedia Course for the Academy of Art University in SF. I’m writing about editing theory this week, which starts and ends with stop-motion. In the beginning was Edweard Muybridge’s discovery of stop-motion… over 100 years later was Ed Kashi’s discovery of digital stop-motion- discovered when rapidly scrolling through 17,000 images(!) for the Iraqi Kurdistan story (National Geographic).

During my research, I came across this piece: two guys walking the longest street in Ontario, taking one photo every 30 seconds. This is a fun piece- lots of energy to create (notice the changing light…) very clever!
