Brilliant Myanmar in 4K Hi-Def

To view this video in 4K select "Original" in the resolution menu. This video was sponsored by Harmonic. Special thanks to this company who sent us to the other side of the world and introduced us to a new world.

Russia-based filmmaker Jacob Schwarz has filmed a gorgeous high definition video of the previously isolated country of Myanmar. 

Even if you don't have a super hi-speed connection and a 4k monitor, the HD version is still absolutely stunning.

Mirror City: A Kaleidoscopic Timelapse of Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego, Vegas and L.A.

When I first started Mirror City, I wanted to create a video that was completely out of the norm. I wanted to showcase something unique and artistic, which takes Timelapse photography into a more abstract direction. Mirror City is a visual story through some of the great American cities: Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. These clips were all processed from their original form, into the kaleidoscopic visuals that you see in this video. Many people visit these large cities every day, and all of these places have been shot and filmed, but I wanted to emulate these urban landscapes in a way that nobody has even seen before. I wanted to put man-made geometric shapes, mixed with elements of color and movement to create less of a structured video, and more of a plethora of visual stimulation. The video starts off with simple mirrors and recognizable architecture, as the video progresses, so does the visual stimulation, showing the real abstraction of the piece. I have worked on this piece for an extremely long amount of time. I have spent time mirroring images and videos for the past five years, and I have been working on this specific piece for about four months. I felt it was time to combine Timelapse photography and the simplicity of a kaleidoscope, and create Mirror City.

How A Tesla Model S is Made

If founder Elon Musk is right, Tesla Motors just might reinvent the American auto industry-with specialized robots building slick electric cars in a factory straight from the future. That's where the battery-powered Model S is born.

It is an amazing machine.

Eighty-six Year-old Irish Fisherman Still Fishing

We went to southern Ireland trying to find an interesting story to capture. While we were in Castletownbere, Ireland, the name Pat Murphy kept coming up around town. The locals said that if we wanted to get an interesting story, we had to interview him. So we went on a journey to find him. We had to wait in the town three days before we could meet him, because he was out at sea. This is the story we got from him when he returned. Special thanks to the town of Castletownbere, Ireland. Filmed on the Canon 5D. Zeiss 85mm f/1.4, Canon 24mm f/1.4, Canon 50mm f/1.8. 3' slider. Glidecam 2000.

Return to the Sea - Saltworks by Motoi Yamamoto

Motoi Yamamoto is an internationally acclaimed contemporary Japanese artist from Hiroshima, Japan, who creates elaborate, site-specific installations made entirely out of salt. Often in the form of large-scale labyrinths or aerial projections of typhoons, Yamamoto takes one of the earth’s oldest, most sought-after mineral elements to cover the entire gallery floors during a two-week residency at the Monterey Museum of Art—Pacific Street location. Traditionally used as a symbol for purification and mourning in Japanese culture, the artist’s use of salt emanates from a powerful personal experience in working through the death of his sister. His artwork is rooted in themes of life, death, and rebirth, and his process with salt has helped him cleanse his grief. Return to the Sea, Saltworks by Motoi Yamamoto is organized by the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, College of Charleston School of the Arts. Video produced by John Greenwald
