Erika Janungerの短編「WEIGHTLESS」(無重力)はダンス、空間デザイン、音楽、映画と多様な表現手段を使いこなしてこそ実現出来た世界.

Swedish artist and designerErika Janunger’s short film “Weightless” is a combo of dance and interiour design, this short film was Janunger’s masters project and is her way of exploring the intersection of architecture, choreography, and music. Though she’s not the first film maker to tilt a set to create the illusion of defying gravity, I’ve never seen it done so quite unapologetically before. It’s not a gimmick or just a visual trick - this weightlessness is part of these girls’ reality. Counter to our normal fantasies of the freedom of flight, they seem (in a crazy paradox) weighted down by their very weightlessness. There's a interesting moment when dancers Malin Stattin and Tuva Lundkvist gaze right into your eyes,

蜜蜂の絶滅問題への意識を高めるためのビデオとサイトをアイスクリームのHäagen-Dazsが制作.bee(蜂)とB-Boy (ブレイクダンサー)を引っかけているところも面白い.蜜蜂がかなりの数、減っている. 欧米では、80%という規模だ. 蜂の絶滅. アインシュタインが、かつて言っていた. 「 蜜蜂が地球から消えたとすれば、人類はそれから4年の生命しかない。蜂がいなければ、受粉はない. 植物もなくなり、動物は次第に絶滅し、それから人類はいなくなるだろう」

helpthehoneybees is a video and a site launched by Häagen-Dazs to raise awareness to the honey bees extinction.
"If the bees disappeared off the surface of the globe then man
would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination,
no more plants, no more animals, no more man," said Albert Einstein.

House Of Cards updated

radioheadのニュー・シングル「House of Cards」のPVは、カメラを使わずに撮影が行なわれた.監督 james frost は、ビデオカメラの代わりに Geometric Informatics およびVelodyne Lidar といった2種類の最新3Dキャプチャー技術を駆使して制作.前者はレーザーを使って近距離の対象物の詳細な3Dイメージをキャプチャーするもので、メンバーのパフォーマンスを撮影. 後者は、より広い環境を3Dでとらえることが可能で、セットやパーティー・ショットの撮影に使用されたとか.都市計画や建築で本来使われる最先端技術を、このようにビデオ表現に応用されるのはおもしろい.とてもハイテクなのに3Dの仕上がりが Pixarのようなものではなく、とてもlo-fiなのが美しい.3D dataは こちら.で見られます.メイキングは上記に掲載.

director james frost and radiohead decided to forgo the use of cameras altogether for their latest single, House of Cards. Using 3D video acquisition systems from Geometric Informatics, and 64-element, 360-degree LIDAR from Velodyne, the band was able to create a clip that eschews traditional video recording for haunting, complex data visualizations. the rendering has a lo-fi quality which gives a more interesting texture than the Pixar type shading we have grown acustomed to. the 3D data and viewer are available as google codes at this link.

Bill Calahan (aka Smog)

Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media Player.

Bill Calahan(バンド名はSmog)は、どの歌手よりもいい声を持っている. とにかく僕の好みの声である.dead man's shoesのサウンドトラックにも使われている.あえて分類するならば、lo-fi alternativeというジャンルに属するのでしょうけれど、分類されず、他の音楽と一線を画すのは、意味があることである.Smog(スモッグ、煙霧)は、その名の通り、環境、エコロジーに限らず、人の歴史、人類の教えなどをなんとなく取入れようとする意識が常に感じられる.過去の押しつけがましいうるさいプロテスト音楽と違って、時と空気を譜面のように読んで演奏される音楽.

Bill Calahan (aka Smog) for me has one of the best voices,
If one insist on categorising his music it would be lo-fi alternative. meaningful music with soft slow
strong melodies. the name comes from the famous urban pollutant not by coincidence, if you think of ecology end environment in philodophical terms you can grasp the grand picture which
feeds his songs, it's almost as if he reads a score from time and space around us.
