Ever heard of the website chatroulette.com? It´s a “new service for one-on-one text-, webcam- and microphone based chat with people around the world.”

By the way, i really like Casey´s other productions so don´t forget to check out his vimeo page.
_grau by Robert Seidel in HD
_grau | 10:01 min | d 2004 | HD premiere from Robert Seidel on Vimeo.
_grau is a award-winning experimental film by Artist Robert Seidel based in Jena, Germany. Produced in 2004 it is now available in HD on Vimeo (before it was only shown in museums and galleries in this detail and quality). Here is what it is about:
“_grau is a personal reflection on memories coming up during a car accident, where past events emerge, fuse, erode and finally vanish ethereally … various real sources where distorted, filtered and fitted into a sculptural structure to create not a plain abstract, but a very private snapshot of a whole life within its last seconds …”Though there are some impressive effects to be seen here, and one wonders how this was done, Robert comments on Vimeo:
“_grau is not really about the technique although it wouldn’t be possible without it. The key is the hidden narration, so everything you see is flowing and intervening from the same basis, just offering different perspectives on the event…”.”Abstract, organic, emotional! Love it.
Watch it in HD!

The amazing Animations of Adam Pesapane (PES)
Adam Pesapane is a 35 year old digital artist based in New York City. PES doesn’t like being called an animator. “It’s very limiting,” says the 30 year old self-professed storyteller, director and artist from New Jersey. He uses objects from our daily life and animates them with stop-motion..combined with the right soundtrack there is an amazing outcome. No doubt that his work reminds me a bit of the movies of Jan Swankmajer i posted some time ago. Even if there is no “claymotion” involved and not as surrealistic.
No doubt PES has his own style though. Genius!
See lots more on his youtube channel or on his website www.eatpes.com.
Here are some of my favourites Shorts:
Western Spaghetti (most recent one)
Roof Sex
“Between” Short Film by Tim Bollinger
After screening “Between” on several Festivals, Tim Bollinger from Via Grafik now shared his short-movie on the web. As he puts it: “It’s a journey through worlds of the subconscious, allowing us to catch sinister glimpses of the human psyche’s ambivalence.” Moments stuck in time paired with hectic ones, camera work at its best and the disturbing glimpse into the subconscious, make this a “must watch”.

Skate & Create Contest 2009 by Transworld Skateboarding
As a former skateboarding addict i couldnt miss to post this. Transworld Skateboarding organized the Skate & Create Contest for the second time this year and the results are quite appealing. I always really enjoyed watching skateboarding videos back in the days and most of them are well edited. One of my favourite and a legendary skateboarding movie is Yeah Right! by Girl Skateboards. It had a part where they had painted their boards green to make a green screen effect and achieve an effect of invisible skateboards. Watch a youtube version here (couldnt find it with the original song). The full Girl video is here (the invisible boards scene starts at 56:43) .
So whats the Skate & Create contest about? Simple in a way: 1 Warehouse, 4 Teams, 1 Set of obstacles. And a lot of creativity to make something unique out of it.
Here are my 2 favourites:
This one is the best one in my opinion – “DVS -Wood” . Asthetics, music and editing are really good and make you want to watch this until the end (plus some amazing tricks).
Directed by Colin Kennedy, Music by Air Castles.
Modeselektor – Art&Cash Official Video by Pfadfinderei
Total mayhem..and what a tune! I remember listening to this one on a recent Modeselektor gig in WMF Berlin. Massive! Here´s what it says in the video description:
“Facing crisis and tormented by the sorrows of monetary depletion there was only one solution for the House of Modeselektor. All capital must go! And fast!Property funds crashing like Windows 2000, investing in gold too 80s and the rights to Jacko’s portfolio too expensive. Only one answer remained: Art.
Versed on the international art trade floor it was easy for them to win over two sought-after art dealers; to seal the deal and to go on a shopping spree.
“Art & Cash” is the shocking “behind the scenes” documentary of that German art campaign. In the process a scandal was revealed that is shaking experts to this day. For years and under the watchful eyes of millions did the “Fantastic Nobodies” – exceptionally gifted art counterfeiters and weirdos from Brooklyn – manage to sell themselves as renowned works of art, thus creating inexplicable damage…”

Cinnamon Chasers – Luv Deluxe
A really cool music video for the Cinnamon Chasers. The music is a little too cheesy for my taste, but i really had to watch this one until the end… Shot entirely on the Canon 5D Mark II. Great Work!

Jan Švankmajer – Food (1992)
Hi everyone. I am back on track. I recently finished my Bachelor thesis and from now on i´ll be posting some more stuff on a regular basis. We´ll start with some surrealism…
Wikipedia tells me:
“Jan Švankmajer (born 4 September 1934, Prague) is a Czech surrealist artist. His work spans several media. He is known for his surreal animations and features, which have greatly influenced other artists such as Tim Burton, Terry Gilliam, The Brothers Quay, Shane Acker, and many others.”We´ll be watching “Food” from 1992. A animated short film that uses claymation and live action, examining the human relationship to food by showing breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Enjoy!
The PEN Story
Another amazing stop-motion film executed with 60.000 pictures, 9.600 developed prints which where photographed over 1.800 times. Some really nice ideas in this one!
And yet another great viral PR result for Olympus. Well done and worth the effort!
Synesthesia by Terri Timely
Synesthesia by Terri Timely is a portrait of two brother’s and their surreal experiences as they explore their Synesthesia (wikipedia link) – the ability associate sounds with tastes, colors, letters, numbers or even people. The aesthetics of this short-movie are impressive…

Eros by Tom Geraedts
Eros from Tom Geraedts on Vimeo.
By Tom Geraedts:
“Highly fascinated by the perception of blind people, I tried to visualize how one would see something beautiful. Eros is about a young blind man who always struggled with his inability to imagine the world around him. He just couldn’t shape things like color and beauty in his mind. This all changes when he meets a curious girl, someone who will change things for once and for all.”I love it!
