500 million elephants - David Betteridge
I was given an open brief to make a film for an environmental conference. A low budget and fast turnaround lead to this idea - using the metaphor of time running out as a backdrop for the message.The 500 million elephants of the title refers to the weight of waste the world creates every year. Scary statistic.Shot with a EX1 sporting a Letus Extreme and a 105mm macro with variety of extension tubes and diopters. To find out more about David Betteridge, visit their profile Here.

A Deep White Sea, Karelia – Wyllie O Hagan
Winner Michael Nyman Film Competition for the most creative and original use of his soundtrack "The Embrace"."I chose this film because of it's daring yet humble use of visuals and animation techniques" Michael Nyman 2009. The White Sea is situated on the North coast of Russia. The earliest forms of fossils found here are considered to be the finest source of the Vendian period in the World. The Vendian Period being over 600 million years ago. There is intensive scientific research of these rocks that reveal information on the first animals and flora to live on Earth. The question of what these fossils are is still not settled as they are hard to interpret. In our moving image artwork we reveal fossils from the earth and sea going back over 600 million years to the Vendian period. A Deep White Sea is an exploration of the theme using artworks, photographs and sound to create a high definition digital moving image artwork. Inspired by images of The Paleontological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, we have utilized scientific information, cross media constructed objects and sound to convey a poetic interpretation of the White Sea. The soundtrack The Embrace, Lost and Found is by Michael Nyman, one of Britain's most celebrated and recognised contemporary composers. The music suggests the lapping of water and the gentle passing of time in this short digital moving image artwork. We have great respect for Michael Nyman and it was therefore an exciting challenge to work with his composition and our own visual material to create a fresh interpretation. It was exhibited in an international art science exhibition - Otpechatki" The IV International Triennial of Visual Arts, Petrozavodsk, Republic of Karelia, Russia in November 2009.

Aanaatt - Max Hattler
The ever-shifting shape of Analogue Futurism --------- --------- "Hattler's elegantly choreographed object animation tilts the camera so that the mirrored table surface seems to be the ceiling. In smooth stop-motion replacements, he explores the abstract logic of tubes, discs, cylinders and other shapes as they grow, shrink, slide, and change to the ethereal murmur of ambient music." Tony Reveaux, Cine Source Magazine --------- "One of four music videos commissioned by W+K Tokyo Lab for the release of 21-year-old Japanese producer Jemapur's latest album, 'Aanaatt' is as mystifying as its title. The track is of the sparse, bloopy variety one might associate with graphic designers in oppressively-rimmed glasses and Max Hattler's stop-motion, fixed camera video is accordingly abstract. 'Aanaatt' might've been overly academic in another director's hands, but the German helmer gives the song a curiously hypnotic warmth by deftly shifting colors, shapes, unrecognizable household objects, and lighting across an ever-changing, multi-layered surface."
