Interesting Special effect short film some physics students did in Netherlands

Interesting to try some like this out on park hill flats around in a suburb somewhere, also made me think about fan content, pretty good stuff sometimes, adding a story or collection of bits that people enjoy, Transmedia story telling i think it called, Anyway thought someone could or should do a redux copy the film and add more effects or narrative to the piece.

Story from motionographer

Music

Like this song from the band sigur ros

Robert Capa is another war photographer, who i think worked for life but landed on D-day with troops and took pictures, unfortunatly alot of them were lost in a development accident, but there about 10 left.

He used on the landing, 5o mm lenses that have definite focus, make things more blury in background and a Contax II, i also think some 50mm lenses have good aperture settings so you can get good footage in low or diffused lights settings

Pics of actors

Some nice pics i like of the Academy Awards show, Leonard Mccombe, March 26, 1958.

The Image of the falling man

Any times a person makes a film he is creating an argument or that what i read from john burgers book, i might have to reread this chapter when i get home.

These are some pics from English photographer Larry Burrows, who went to vietnam and embedded with some us marines there, his photos are different from the films i have seen representing this war, Apocolypes now, platoon, Born on the fourth of july, Deer hunter, it seems more documentary and clear without filters or focus, a certain kinda of truth which is different from the films??? maybe this is where the difference between film and picture becomes interesting, as I learnt from the lecture series, and film tells a narrative but a picture doesn't explicably, we have to film in the before and afters, and even with subtle pictures, there can always be an argument the photographer is presenting with us, this is where "context" comes in handy

Kodachrome Example from wikipedia

Example of another Kodacrhome picture, of london 1935, i again like the colours that these pics have, something I have not seen much in the ,moving image world more research needed

Photos

These are some photos by Life Photographer Carl Mydans in 1940 in the Pacific ocean, i like the vividness of the photos, that are a stark contrast to what you see in 1940's era war photography, it seem like he might of used a Reversal film stock, Eastman kodachrome???
