Animator Creating Animation by Deekay



This is a small project I did during my spare time. I am sure we all go through ups and downs when creating art. Maybe caring a little too much about what others think and not enough appreciation towards your own art. Whatever you make, it is still your creation. And it will always give you a like. :) https://ift.tt/38rjkRL

Tesla "The Silence Between Us" by MEETO



TESLA it´s quiet, it´s fast, and it moves though the city landscape in an almost dreamy way. This short film is about the silence that can build up in relationship and in the end how it destroys it. The story is told like flashes of memory whilst a man drives quietly through the city.

Superbloom by MAD TREES



Today, images of the outdoors are focused on how people look, their gender, and what they are wearing while outdoors. But how we feel out there seems more important. Colors zooming by. Nature as our second skin. Confetti leaves and trail parties, cake snacks and hard laughs. Superbloom envisions our shared technicolor experience in the outdoors. This is where buds grow. Created by Anya Miller and Anne Cleary.

Gus Dapperton - First Aid (Official Music Video) by gus dapperton



Town Portal · Vanitas by Gabriele Calvi



Official music video for Town Portal's Vanitas. A free interpretation of a common sleep cycle. A journey through abstract landscapes and anatomical visualizations. Music: Town Portal https://ift.tt/1HRtRBG Concept, Design & Animation: Gabriele Calvi behance.net/gabrielecalvi The music video realized for Vanitas is a free interpretation of a common sleep cycle with the aim of visually representing the dark and eerie sounds of the song. Hence the choice of the subject of “sleep” which, conceived as the most death-like everyday experience, allowed to trace the obscure and nocturnal atmosphere of the track, without sticking too much to the usual imagery associated to heavy music. Anatomical representations, abstract settings, folkloristic figures, nightmares and still lifes ( vanitas ) follow one another unceasingly to emphasize the complex structure of the song by creating continuous rhythmic-visual correspondences. A journey where the protagonist and his consciousness ( the red sphere ) go through the five phases of sleep, from falling asleep to the catharsis of the REM phase, interrupted by an experience of sleep paralysis and followed by a turbulent awakening that brings the protagonist back to reality, in the dawn of a generic city in a day like any other. ©2020 Gabriele Calvi

Portlands Brandend Hart (Portland's Burning Heart) by JONGSMA + O'NEILL



"Portland's Burning Heart" uses a combination of iPhone footage, on-the-ground photography and haunting voice over to tell the story of Portland's ongoing street protests from the perspective of the woman who knows them best: Emmy-winning photojournalist Beth Nakamura of The Oregonian. Beth is the burning heart at the center of the film, and over the course of its 13 minutes we watch as she evolve from local reporter to teargas-dodging, stab-vest-wearing conflict journalist. Commissioned by the Dutch public network HUMAN in anticipation of the 2020 US elections, the film is a collaboration between Nakamura and the Tim Hetherington Visionary Award-winning filmmaking team Jongsma + O'Neill.

Monsoon 6 (4K, 8K) by Mike Olbinski



Support me on Patreon! https://ift.tt/32JuXhA Blu-Rays and more available: https://ift.tt/3mnF4BA Follow me: https://ift.tt/HQz2lJ http://www.twitter.com/mikeolbinski https://ift.tt/2cP05G6 Music by Péter Nánási: https://ift.tt/2h0Lpq0 --------------------- I've never spent two years making a Monsoon film before, so this was a first. Part of it was wanting to put out the best possible film I could, but a good chunk of it was the fact our recent summer storm seasons have been subpar at best, with 2020 the worst I can remember. 2019 wasn't horrible, but there was about zero dust storms, with only a single haboob clip to salvage from that summer, so I wanted to wait until I had something more to add to it. Luckily for me, August 16th, 2020 happened and we scored a fantastic haboob chase from Casa Grande to Gila Bend along Interstate 8. It was what I had been hoping and praying for to complete this film. That was the only legit haboob day of the past two years and I'm glad I was there for it! Not only for this film, but for the BBC and one of their upcoming projects I'm proud to be a part of! A lot was left on the cutting room floor, in fact, it might be an entire other film, but it was important to me to include only the best, most unique stuff I saw the last two years, plus keep it under 9 minutes long! Finding music was a struggle, so I decided to work once again with Péter Nánási and have a custom score created for Monsoon 6. And boy, he knows me well and hit it out of the park! Thank you sir! I hope you enjoy this film! It's the result of 30,000+ miles, hundreds of thousands of time-lapse frames captured and 60+ days chasing. Some highlights include epic downbursts, gorgeous light, mountains, desert, a stunning supercell and yes, rainbows. Photographed all across the great state of Arizona, where I've lived my entire life. I'd like to thank all my supporters over on my Patreon page! If you're not a member but enjoyed this film, I encourage you to join up. I'm so honored by the folks over there who spend their hard-earned cash to support the work I do, it means so much! Spring is right around the corner, and live streams, targets and all kinds of stuff awaits my Patrons. Finally, I'd like to thank my family. The kids are getting older, they aren't along for as many of the chases, but they support me, they love me and when they can join me, it's always a blast. My amazing wife Jina is my rock, has my back, keeps me humble and gives me advice that is always perfection. I honestly wouldn't be doing this without them! Thank you for watching Technical Details: Everything shot with two Canon 5DSRs and various Canon lenses. A couple lightning sequences with the Sony A7R3 All clips available in 8K Resolution Processed in Lightroom, LR Timelapse, After Effects and Premiere Pro.
