Signal To Noise from Douglas Koke on Vimeo.
Time-lapse footage taken at the Very Large Array in Socorro, New Mexico; one of the largest Radio Astronomy Observatories in the world.
As a learning exercise, and something to challenge myself, I wanted to try to combine two of my favorite things: motion-graphics and time-lapse photography.
I also wanted to see if I could stretch my editing techniques a little further.The VLA really is a legitimately amazing thing to see in person. If you’ve ever considered making a visit, you should.
It’s an awe-inspiring feat of human engineering, and the surroundings are gorgeous. Unbelievable skies in New Mexico. I caught some nasty weather, but it was still a great experience. I’m definitely going back!Canon t3i / 600D (2 -rented a second)

Cassette, Upcoming Documentary About the Tape Cassette:
Cassette is an upcoming documentary about the cultural significance and history of the tape cassette (trailer). The film is by Zack Taylor and Seth Smoot—they’re raising funds for the project on Kickstarter.
A few months ago, the term cassette tape was taken out of the Oxford English Dictionary. It may seem ironic, then, that the cassette has experienced a quiet comeback over the last few years, as independent labels issuing tape-only releases have begun popping up around the world. What better excuse to take a look back at this beloved musical format? via The World’s Best Ever

If you use TTC, a public transit system (which luckily I don’t as I live in the heart of the city), you may find this video pretty cool. It includes animation of all the system routes and time-lapse of individual vehicles as they moving across the city:

An animation that roughly shows how the ‘TTC Speeds’ map was constructed (see the pics linked below). Only 1 hour of data this time. Also included a quick time-lapse of all of the individual vehicles.

Excellent video of each day for one year:
Madeline Schichtel took 1-second snippets of each day of her life in 2011 and condensed it into an 8 minutes film called This is What Madeline Did in 2011.
I shot a little video every day of 2011 on my Canon Powershot, then I edited it all down to a little over a second each. It’s interesting to be able to look back on my year and remember these little moments. I love living in LA. I love the friends I’ve made. And I love seeing how much has changed over just one year being here. Sure, I guess now that I see it, I got sick and worked a lot this year (lots of driving, running around doing errands all day). But oh well, it’s motivation for 2012!

People working at Toronto’s Type Books have made an awesome stop-motion animation video of their books reorganizing themselves after everyone has gone home at night:
After organizing our bookshelf almost a year ago, my wife and I decided to take it to the next level. We spent many sleepless nights moving, stacking, and animating books at Type bookstore in Toronto. Everything you see here can be purchased at Type Books. Grayson Matthews generously composed the beautiful, custom music. But none of it could have been done without all the volunteer hands who shelved and reshelved books all night, every night.

Banksy’s work now reportedly changes hands for millions.But he puts up his street art for free. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you got your hands on one of these? Does it mean you’ve found a winning lottery ticket or just scraped some worthless crap off a wall? Going up against the Art Establishment, Critics, Auction Houses,Gallery Owners and Authentication Boards in a quest for the elusive meal ticket, two filmmakers unwittingly gatecrash the murky and protective world of Banksy.
“HOW TO SELL A BANKSY” raises questions of ownership, authentication and the true value of art itself. Through all the chaos and incompetence comes a modern-day, true-story, crime-theft, comedy-caper.
Original Score by Howie B
Directed by Alper Cagatay & Christopher Thompson.
