Cinemagraph

Made these cinemagraphs. Will add a tutorial when I have some more time to burn.

Cinemagraphs are still photographs in which a minor and repeated movement occurs. Cinemagraphs, which are usually published in an animated GIF format, can give the illusion that the viewer is watching a video.

They are commonly produced by taking a series of photographs or a video recording, and, using image editing software, compositing the photographs or the video frames into a seamless loop of sequential frames. This is done such that motion in part of the subject between exposures (for example, a person’s dangling leg) is perceived as a repeating or continued motion, in contrast with the stillness of the rest of the image.

The term “cinemagraph” was coined by U.S. photographers Kevin Burg and Jamie Beck, who used the technique to animate their fashion and news photographs beginning in early 2011.^[1]^[2]^[3] The technique of those images existed before, it was e.g. already used for the advertisment of the game Mirror’s Edge back in 2008.

This remix features fragments form the VE day speech from Winston Churchill, Poems and a radio news broadcast. It’s a reminder that even the worse things in life end and finally life itself. Everything ends.

I leave the door unlocked

I leave the lights on.

Here are two great poems. I combined them with a track from Lee Rosevere.

I just need summer for one more day

I just need summer for one more day from The Man Who fell to Earth on Vimeo.

I just need summer for one more day:

Breathe the joy of summer for one more day

Sipping slowly between each sigh

There are no limits on the day

Summer makes it so

Breathe the joy of summer for one more day

The last day of our summer slows

Drifting softly upon my conscience

reminding me to absorb the flow

The waves wash along the shore

My castle fades

Back to the sea

I just need summer

For one more day

Music by Arizono Kazuhiro I just need Summer for one more day

Snowden and Kennedy Warning against a secret society remix

Snowden and Kennedy Warning against a secret society remix

The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.

Just think for a moment about the fact that the Kennedy’s speech about the dangers of a secret society in a democracy was delivered in 1961 and that now more than 50 years later the thing he warned for is reality.

And at the end this secret society killed him off
