1 - Vivaldi's 4 Seasons Recomposed by Max Richter

From the project page:

This is no mere arrangement; instead Richter has absorbed Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons into his own musical bloodstream. At first Richter followed the example of other works in the “Recomposed” series, which re-mix existing recordings, but, he says, “I wanted to open up the score on a note-by-note level, and working with an existing recording was like digging a mineshaft through an incredibly rich seam, discovering diamonds and not being able to pull them out. That became frustrating. I wanted to get inside the score at the level of the notes and in essence re-write it, re-composing it in a literal way.”

2 - Source to Sea in 3 minutes

Have you ever seen an entire river? This is a 113 day journey down the Green and Colorado Rivers, from source to sea. We started in the Wind River Mountains, Wyoming in October 2011, and finished at the Sea of Cortez, Mexico in January 2012. The river begins as a trickle, carves ever deeper and more spectacular canyons, and is reduced to a trickle again by water diversions. For more information, please visit www.downthecolorado.org CREDITS Edit, Concept, Paddling, Camera- Will Stauffer-Norris (www.willstauffernorris.com) Paddling, Camera- Zak Podmore Original Music- Ed David Watkins (soundcloud.com/edwatkinsmusic) Support provided by The State of the Rockies Project (www.stateoftherockies.com), NRS (www.nrsweb.com), Liquidlogic (www.liquidlogickayaks.com), The Hulbert Center, and Werner

4 - The Me Bird - Stencil Cut Animation

The short film "The Me Bird" is a free interpretation of the homonym poem by Pablo Neruda. The inspiration in the strata stencil technique helps conceptualize the repetition of layers as the past of our movements and actions. The frames depicted as jail and the past as a burden serve as the background for the story of a ballerina on a journey towards freedom. A diversified artistic experimentation recreates the tempest that connects bird and dancer. www.18bis.tv www.facebook.com/18bis Watch the making of: www.vimeo.com/60860949 // O curta The Me Bird é uma livre interpretação do poema homônimo de Pablo Neruda. A inspiração na técnica strata stencil ajuda a conceituar a repetição de camadas como o passado de nossos movimentos e ações. As molduras como jaula e o passado como fardo servem de pano de fundo para a história de uma bailarina em sua jornada rumo à liberdade. Através de variada experimentação artística, recria-se a tormenta que conecta pássaro e dançarina. I am the Pablo Bird, bird of a single feather, a flier in the clear shadow and obscure clarity, my wings are unseen, my ears resound when I walk among the trees or beneath the tombstones like an unlucky umbrella or a naked sword, stretched like a bow or round like a grape, I fly on and on not knowing, wounded in the dark night, who is waiting for me, who does not want my song, who desires my death, who will not know I'm arriving and will not come to subdue me, to bleed me, to twist me, or to kiss my clothes, torn by the shrieking wind. That's why I come and go, fly and don't fly but sing: I am the furious bird of the calm storm. Pablo Neruda

The beautiful Neruda poem, "The Me Bird" inspired this truly awesome stencil cut animation, created by 18bis.

The making-of video is pretty awesome too.​

3 - Lovely Animation on Bullying

Shane Koyczan "To This Day" http://www.tothisdayproject.com Help this message have a far reaching and long lasting effect in confronting bullying. Please share generously. "My experiences with violence in schools still echo throughout my life but standing to face the problem has helped me in immeasurable ways.

To paraphrase Steven Pinker, "stories are empathy technology." And this is a good story for putting the impact of bullying squarely in the mind.

5 - Tintype Stop-motion Animation

Over 800 modern dryplate tintypes were made from b&w film to produce this experimental stop-motion video of a circus. Antonio Martinez created this video to serve as a desired childhood memory of the circus, but through the mind of an adult. The project began in 2005 and was fully completed in early 2010 with the help of sound designer, Ramah (Malebranche) Jihan, and assistant, Sarah (Lathrop) Midkiff. The video has been successfully exhibited in over 23 video art and film festivals.

“Near the Egress”was made by photographer Antonio Martinez and depicts a circus show. 

It is eeriy and gorgeous and full of images that feel like memory (at least to me).
