"I'll do it this afternoon!"
Uploaded by Samfid on 2013-06-02.
I've accrued another lengthy list of videos to catch up on, consisting of a few short films, a couple timelapse pieces and a music video from a band I love and haven't listened to in too long.
I'll put 'em here so I'll know where they are when I need to procrastinate.
This was shot on June 28, 2015 in an area of San Diego County called the Tijuana Slough. It is the most southwestern corner of the continental U.S. where the U.S. meets Baja Mexico. The landmass in the bottom left of the frame is a neighborhood of Tijuana called Playas de Tijuana and just before that is the international border. The area is historically rich and politically complex. During the 80s and 90s the border exchanges, of Mexican workers, drugs and sewage became central topics in heated local and national debates that continue today. In the national dialog the border is always depicted as a simple binary system but this is not at all the case. The exchange between the environments, the communities and economies has always been nuanced. Any dialog that reduces the relationship to simple “us and them” is very suspect. Is this a metaphor about the complexity of the border? No. I’m just trying to make something I’ve never seen before that says something about the region. I injured my shoulder last summer and couldn’t surf or swim all year so I started flying kites at the beach for fun, that’s the source of the idea. In the previous videos I looked for large scale events but for this one I was curious to see what could emerge from something really simple. We shot at the border because it has predictable wind and the area doesn’t attract crowds, so it’s serendipity that I made a video about hidden complexity in a place with an enormous amount of hidden complexity. A note on the gray sky, these weather conditions are called June gloom by Californians. Throughout late spring, low altitude stratus clouds are produced over the ocean and brought inland, usually late at night, by prevailing winds. For people from more intense climates, these weather conditions are very mild but for many southern Californians it’s like deep winter and there’s an art to complaining about it. The clouds are a sign that our waters are cool, not warm like much of the east coast. The cool waters make it impossible for hurricanes to reach us and produce an incredibly stable climate, for now. Tech notes, the video was shot on a BMCC camera in 2.5k RAW with an 80mm full frame lens and cut in After Effects. The kite separations were done with a combination of the Luma Key, key framed masks and the Soft Matte effect to clean up the edges. The most difficult tech problem was finding the right shutter angle to balance strobing and motion blur. For this particular kite speed we found a shutter angle of 72 degrees at 24fps worked best. In the near future, you will be able to make a video like this with computer vision. You’ll just tell the computer to separate the red kite while you eat a sandwich. If I were you, I would wait till then to make one cause they take forever my way.

There are no CG elements, these are all real kites that have been separated from their original shots and compiled together.

This is compilation of hyperlapse videos that I shot over the course of the past 2 years. I spent a lot of time scouting for locations, waiting for the perfect conditions, and catching the beauty of the city. Lighting is important. Sunrises, sunsets; transitions from dawn to day, and from dusk to dark. I used a lot of self-developed tricks and techniques in both the shooting and editing processes - it took a lot of time and passion to make this video. Some of these clips, as well as many more, are available for licensing EXCLUSIVELY at Dissolve.com . You can check out my collection here http://dissolve.com/contributors/vadim-tereshchenko Looking for a LA based production company to collaborate with. I do personal trainings for hyperlapse/timelapse shooting and editing.

"Don't do tomorrow what you can do today."
~ Benjamin Franklin, followed by everyone that's come across an image search for "crossfit motivation."
Crossing things off your list. Bringing things across the finish line. Ask anyone that's been deemed, by their own hand or someone else's, a "creative" person and they'll tell you it's a sad realization when they look at the 4 or 5 projects that they've been "creative" with for a spell and not one has had a bow tied around it.
Amongst a few things more weighty in life that I'm getting to, I've put off a lengthy list of things to watch. From dvds literally collecting dust to that storyboard of that one idea I had while I was driving home, I sincerely hope I can get to it all and hope that, at the very least, my reviewing what I've put off I may actually get to instead of simply remembered that it's been stored. My "Watch Later" collection on Vimeo, a list I've accumulated without the faintest intention of getting to, is something that I discovered and I figure putting most of them here would give me a better shot at checking them out.
If you've seen them and know of something just as mesmerizing or informative, stop by my contact page and let me know what it is and how you found it. Over this past year, I've learned that I'm as responsible for putting out my own work as much as I am for vocalizing my approval for that which spurs me on to go after it even more. To not purvey the knowledge is to worsen your own future.
Can't say I've seen that on any Instagram.
Did find this, though. Enjoy Neil Armstrong's inspiring finish, and then some cool stuff to watch.
Volcano Calbuco erupted on April 22, 2015, for the first time in four decades. Located close to the cities of Puerto Varas and Puerto Montt in southern Chile. We spend the prior couple of days on the neighboring volcano Osorno (~20km linear distance) shooting timelapses. After an amazing night under the nightsky we took the cable car downwards after a delay caused by repairs. Already late we headed south to catch the ferry on Routa 7 down to Patagonia. After 10min on the ferry we noticed a massive, almost nuclear looking cloud boiling upwards just were we left a few hours ago. Frenetically looking for a good outlook we then rushed to the only non-forested place to get a decent view of the show. We quickly put every bit of camera-equipment we could find on the constantly growing mushroom-cloud. We shot timelapses in 8K and 4K with a Pentax 645Z and Canon 6D. On the A7s we shot 4K video to the Shogun using Kingston HyperX SSDs. We filled almost all of our memory cards in the prior night so I had to do backups while shooting all this stuff. This was for sure the most incredible show I've ever seen. I think this is a one in a lifetime event and I am so happy that we were able to capture it in all its glory. We will also release a timelapse video of our 6 weeks trip to Patagonia soon.

In this film, Steven worked with Team O’Neill surfer and professional athlete Malia Manuel to capture a unique perspective on a single day’s surf session in Western Australia. Utilising drones for the majority of the videography, Steven plays with perspective, taking the viewer into, above, and beyond the waves.

Brandon Todd is 5’5’’ and he can dunk. He has never believed his height to be a limitation but an opportunity to change how people view small athletes. Brandon transformed his body over the course of a few years, gaining over 80 lbs of muscle, increasing his vertical to over 45 inches. Todd hopes to teach others that through hard work and perseverance physical limitations can be overcome. www.fivefivedocumentary.com Director: Chris Jurchak Producer: Aaron Hill Lighting Director and Colorist: Anthony Jacoway Cinematographer: Rob Ruscher Composer: Kevin Burnes www.kevinburnes.com Camera Operator: Chad Vossen Key Grip: Kelsey Peters Production Assistant: Andrew Morris Executive Producers: Tristan Pelligrino and Chad Vossen Ambient Sounds: “Somewhere Between Night And Sky” (by A.M)http://freemusicarchive.org/music/AM/WHNZ1NYMI/03_Somewhere_Between_Night_And_Sky_by_AM Special Thanks to: 522 Productions www.522productions.com ikan Corp www.ikancorp.com Camera: Sony FS700, Canon 7D, GoPro3
A homage to Palm Springs that I've been working away on whenever I got a free moment over the past few months. Very much inspired by this gem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNu_MY7zwzs The song is 'PS I love you' by Bobby Vinton, with a snippet of 'Route Nationale' by Philippe Pares' at the beginning!
