The eminently talented Masashi Kawamura and the gang from Sour have released this interactive music video to follow up their highly acclaimed Hibi No Neiro.
Driven by passion, this team fearlessly breaks down the conventional boundrys of what a music video can be. No video embed here. It’s something you need to experience for yourself. Like the Wilderness Downtown project from Chris Milk and Arcade Fire, these projects challenge the conventional ideas in media and certainly in Masa’s case are driven by a passion to innovate regardless of what they have for resources. These past couple of projects I’ve posted, have been an enormous inspiration to me, and I hope will be to you.
If there’s one thing to take away from all this, it is that passion and motivation, not the abundance of financial resources is the only real currency. By using the resources you have, and combining them with passion and drive, you can make something truly powerful and inspiring.
There are some incredibly cool and innovative experiments coming out of the Kinect. There’s an wonderful spirit of alchemy here and I can’t wait to see the projects born out of and influenced from these experiments.
Creativeapplications.net summed it up eloquently here:
“With new technology come new landscapes. These may appear in the form of users, social groups, tools and work but in some kind of form they are connected, relating to one another and feeding from one another. Kinect is describing a new form of landscape, driven by arrangement of points derived from our physical environment.”
If you’re in Chicago on the 5th of October come and join me where I’ll be giving a presentation on Living Art and the future of photography in motion. The talk is FREE and open to the public and even better- there’ll be lot’s of cool, like minded creative types to connect with, interested in where photography and motion is going.
The talk is sponsored by the APA Midwest and Workbook and hosted by Columbia College. Please feel free to invite your friends and photo peeps that may be interested.

Together with co-directors Cory Strassburger and Ming Hsiung, we produced a motion magazine cover and feature spread for Viv Mag – an all digital magazine, which would allow us to create content that will be able to live on the iPad and other tablet devices where digital magazines can live.
Our collaboration with Cory and Ming has been a phonemonal experience and you’ll see a lot more great work coming from this team. Check out this featurette, which goes behind the scenes and shows how we put it all together.
Special thanks to Campion for taking a risk with me. Without the bravery of a good client, we wouldn’t be able to bring you work of this caliber.
Extra special thanks to B2Pro Lighting, Red Camera & Jarred Land.
Extra extra special thanks to Chuck Carey and the good people at Troika Design Group without whom we would still be waiting for renders.
If you haven’t seen these yet, prepare to be blown away. These have been coined “Wee Planets”. There technical term is stereographic projections. They are made from actual pictures and a few select programs. These have been floating around blogs for awhile now and I keep running into a few new people making them such as heiwa4126 on flickr who is now making planets in Japan. He’s also making inverse planets that really mess with your head. Want to make these? Head over to AlexandreDuret-Lutz’s flickr page. Under the account name of gadl, he has made step by step instructions, history, and explanations behind the science of making these beautiful planets. He originally made his first planets with a point and shoot camera.
