Boy oh boy oh boy, I've been doing a lot of scheming lately. I started working on a little project for the end of this fine skate season, so really I haven't put too much of substance on here lately. For the past couple weeks though, in my lack of a real job, I lurked around Burlington and Haliburton filming anything that seemed like a good idea. I also finished filming a short I started back in May when I flew to BC, so I'll be posting that soon as well. I'm rambling now because I'm tired as fuck, but here's a fine few additions for your viewing pleasure.

Here is a short glimpse of some raw footage (and by raw I mean I didn't color correct anything fo' yo ass yet, shits just a tease for now) from the past 2 weeks.

Two Weeks of Timelapse from Alex Kingsmill on Vimeo.




Second off, we've got a short film by a dude of the name Robin King. Thoroughly cool.

Ten Thousand Pictures of You from Robin King on Vimeo.



Third up, here's a sick installation out of a Toronto production company. The vimeo page lets you download the source file as well, so you can run a loop yourself and watch it for hours.

Civilization by Marco Brambilla from CRUSH on Vimeo.



And last but obviously not least...My good friend Craig stumbled upon this gem of independent cinema the other week. WATCH THIS SHIT WHILE YOU STILL CAN, I can't find a download anywhere yet and it would be a shame to go on living without watching it. This is for everyone that wished the new Batman movies were gnarlier...

Howdy, I've been working on a video for awhile now, but it's just not finishing itself like I thought it would. So here's a week's worth of cool videos I didn't make.

BIG WORLD, little ass people.

Bathtub V from Keith Loutit on Vimeo.



Some crazy innovative stop motion...there's a section so you can see how hard this must have been in the credits...

Sorry I'm Late from Tomas Mankovsky on Vimeo.



Face paint stop motion...Kinda pissed this is so good because I tried this myself not even 2 weeks ago, and already I find out I'm even less original than I assumed.


Some Staple Cinema...made by a furniture designer or something along those lines. My memory fails me.


More Staple Cinema...Claude Lelouch killing it in Paris.


Here's a bomb music video from god knows where, but I dig the song and the animation alike.

STEREO RAKETA (minimix) from StereoNoize on Vimeo.



I bought a sick DVD last year of just music videos and this one is the first one on it. Weird as fuck but it's super fucking convincing at times.


And last and least, I want this videogame.

Hella Late.

I've been workin like a dog lately so I'm throwing together a retrospective for here soon. In the meantime I do have some goodies though.

MAPLE READING WEEK

Maple from back on reading week. from Alex Kingsmill on Vimeo.

Revolutionary Animation
Saw this video earlier today and my play count's already at 3 or 4.

BIRDY NAM NAM - THE PARACHUTE ENDING from Steve Scott on Vimeo.



Dayvan Cowboy Music Video
I used this song in Feed Your Head back in the day, but this video tops me without a doubt. The skydiving footage up in space is the world record skydive altitude 103,000 meters. The gnarbag's name is Joe Kittinger and he's worth a little research.


& Some Badass 3D
Cool concept and an entertaining 5 minutes of your life.
