Director Robert Kolodny created the short film Fly on Out, which uses a Phantom high speed camera to gorgeously syrupy slow-mo effect. The film tells a tale of what happens when one kid steals a bird, and shows an everyday slice of life for a whole cast of Bed-Stuy’s characters as well (most of the film’s players are […]

But it isn’t done in the timelapse style you’re used to–Kuckenbaker doesn’t simply fast forward through each takeoff; he shows them all at the same time. How did Kuckenbaker pull it off? […]
French animator Joseph Vasconi created the above short, in which each of 2012’s 12 months gets a single second of bold, minimalistic slide of animation. In January, we see a cruise ship tipping over (remember that?), in 2012 we see Kim Dotcom going behind bars, and so on. There are a few pretty cheeky surprises in […]
