I've always dug timelapse footage and I don't know why. Often times set in city streets where one can see people skittering around like ants, the method provides a certain macro-view of a place. I often think of the technique used in Koyaanisqatsi's "The Grid" where the head and tail lights of cars zipping in and out of the city recollected red and white blood cells flowing in and out of a human heart. It's rare to see good quality timelapse on water though, much less the Queen Mary on a run from NYC to the Caribbean.

Sit back and enjoy some majesty. And if you can, watch the HD version.

I'm glad that I watched the short animated film JAM as I thought it was really cool. I'm extremely glad it was under three minutes long as I felt like I was under the effect of some strong hallucinogens after the first minute or so.

The opening 20 seconds kind of reminds me of Larry Marder's Beanworld Chow. I don't know that this is for everyone, but if you want to test your faculties, it's certainly fun.

A fantastic example of tilt shift technique over top of a bustling metropolis from a height of 500ft. The only thing missing is Godzilla. Do yourself a favour and check it out in HD.

What a crazy juxtaposition that works. Some 100 volunteers put together this 8 minute stop-action masterpiece of the story of Oedipus as characterized by vegetables. I don't know what else to say - beets me!
