Unfortunately, when most of us hear the name Afghanistan, we think of a worn torn country. Lukas & Salome Augustin, of Augustin Pictures, set out to show the country they love from a different perspective: one filled with love, joy and hope.
Steven Briand, aka BURAYAN, created this incredibly creative stop motion video using various paper sculptures. The reason why I think it’s so successful is because he takes advantage of the limitations of stop motion, thereby allowing him to create surprising yet believable transformations. What else can I say except it’s fantastic!
With the availability of portable cameras, people are continually recording themselves performing various activities. XPogo continues the trend with their video which shows the POV of someone hopping around on a pogo stick.
Miguel Endara created this incredibly realistic image of his father by using a technique called stippling. Over the course of 210 hours he figures he created more than 3 million dots. Believe it or not, he only used 1 pen for the entire drawing. Watch the time lapse video which shows Miguel working his magic after the jump.
Rob Whitworth, who is a Vietnam based photographer from the UK, shot this beautiful timelapse of the ebbs and flows of traffic in Ho Chi Minh City.

Here’s a great first person perspective of a cheerleader being thrown into the air. The footage was filmed at an LSU football game back in November.
Mossgrove / Bed of Moss is a 10 minute video by Kurtis Hough featuring moss and slugs. Not only is the topic relatively unique, but his treatment of the subject makes it interesting to watch. Can you guess how the opening title sequence was filmed?

The two photographers go head to head with 4 different topics: color portrait, on location, photograph a stranger and studio. The double DVD set is on sale from now until January 1st, 2012, at which time the price will increase from $199 to $249.
Oregon is on my short list of places to visit due to it’s natural beauty. Uncage the Soul Video Productions captured every corner of the state, from the mountains to the deserts and everything in between, in this beautiful time lapse video.
Ty Migota was tasked with creating the opening credits for a film, so he grabbed a Phantom camera and had some fun with alcoholic beverages. As if that wasn’t exciting enough, he’s also introduced flames and explosions to the high speed footage.
How much can be said in one second? Not much in terms of words, but certainly a lot in terms of emotions. The following video shows the first round submissions of the One Second Film Festival. Submissions for the 3rd round are open from November 16th – December 13th, 2011.
Joel Brochu reproduced a photograph using only candy sprinkles, 221,184 of them to be precise. He placed the small candies using tweezers, double sided tape, and glue. He started the project while he was studying pointillism in University, but it continued on for 8 months before being completed.

Katy Beveridge created an amazing animation using her bicycle and some carefully planned cutouts. She has essentially turned her bicycle into a zoetrope. As the wheel spins at a high rate of speed, the minor changes in the repeated patterns appear to animate right before our eyes.
Reebok teamed up with two artists to create the world’s largest 3D street art, certified by Guinness World Records. I’m always amazed at how good they are at bringing these scenes to life. I’m still not sure if they draw perspective lines to begin with, use a projection, or if they are continually looking and adjusting from the perspective of the camera.
Why spend countless hours travelling when you can do so from the comfort of your own home? Aaron Hobson adapted a different approach to his artwork, by finding interesting Google map images, and editing them as would a professional photographer. What do you think of the results?
While many people turn to GoPro cameras to film their extreme sporting, Justin Olsen wanted more. His customized solution was a vest that securely holds a DSLR at chest level. Not only is this a better vantage point when shooting while riding a bike, but it also allows him to capture high quality stills and video. I still think he is pretty gutsy however, as I would be afraid of falling while riding and wrecking the camera.
