I’m not only doing things for fun. Sometimes I even get payed for. I made this for the company I work for, Points of You.
Points of You develope and sell a tool for coaches which called “The Coaching Game”. It comes in a kit, which contains four items. We get asked a lot what’s inside the kit, and it not allways easy to explain. I’ve created short videos for every item in the kit, and used YouTube annotiation to link between them.
The King, LeBron James, probably will win the MVP award in the next few days… I guess I can even bare the thought of the Cavs as the NBA champions. Especially if they face the Lakers in the finals.
Watch him in action in this highlight mix… it’s amazing
This video is a first-time for me in many ways. The first time I’ve experimented pixilation. The first time I did a stop-motion animation that was longer than a few seconds. The first time I did a project and really felt like a director, directing other people. I can go on and on. I watch this, I can see a lot of bumps and things I could have done better, but it makes me proud, I must say. I have things that are more “perfect”, but I really like this small video because it made me experiment in a lot of new stuff, and I feel it’s a big step farward for me.
Anyway, thanks for Aya Zahavi Feiglin (That also have a blog with her band that I built and manage) for laying down in some fhilty spaces, and didn’t complain.
Another big thanks goes to Hilit Rozental, a very talented musician and a very cool girl, for the beautifull song on the background.
Gilad Tasa and Nir Yemini, two great friends, helped moving some stuff, Shirly Kattash and Rotem Smolsky helped me with shooting.
These frames are taken from a stop-motion animation I’m working on now. I hope I’ll finish it soon, and than I will upload it, and write about tha making of the video. It was’nt easy…
Anyway, the girl in the photo is Aya Zahavi Feiglin, the lead singer of the band I Got The Hotties.
Update: Wath the final result here – http://gidivigo.com/hamelin
This video is a small experiment: all the images were taken from google images results for the word “moon”.
The weather was windy and cloudy, and I took 600 still shots to document it. When I rendered the footage, I flipped it horizontally, and suddenly it looked like watching clouds from above. I like these small discoveries that happen by chance. Anyway, I flipped the sound too, and played it backwards, to fit the weird visual. click here to listen to the original sound, a classical piece composed by Jean Sibelius.
Still experimenting the stop motion technique. In the next few days I’m gonna explore it more, and try to make cool stuff, less basic than the landscape scenes (like the sunrise, a few days ago). Anyway, yesterday I spent my afternoon at Gordon Beach in Tel-Aviv, and took about 1000 pics. it was a very hot afternoon…
Sound: Gal Levy
432 still shots were gathered for this sunrise video behind my home (Tel-Aviv’s border).
I started at 5 o’clock and the last photo was taken exactly two hours later.
