MTV "Close and Caring"
MTV "Close and Caring" from Sehsucht™ on Vimeo.
Furry monsters cuddling, welcoming the viewer to a brand new series of MTV idents from 1 July 2011 – motion design studio Sehsucht of Berlin/Germany has created and animated „Close & Caring“, one of six new MTV idents (duration: 20 sec.). „Close & Caring“ conveys a look and feel that equals the warmth and feeling of a hug, as simple as holding hands or sinking under your duvet. Sehsucht created the cute little beasts, developed the story concept, built the vignettes, covered the overall production and post-production (editing, retouching, color-correction, special effects), and created the print templates.

Pendulum Waves
Fifteen uncoupled simple pendulums of monotonically increasing lengths dance together to produce visual traveling waves, standing waves, beating, and (seemingly) random motion.
For more details see http://sciencedemonstrations.fas.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k16940&pa...
The period of one complete cycle of the dance is 60 seconds. The length of the longest pendulum has been adjusted so that it executes 51 oscillations in this 60 second period. The length of each successive shorter pendulum is carefully adjusted so that it executes one additional oscillation in this period. Thus, the 15th pendulum (shortest) undergoes 65 oscillations.
Our apparatus was built from a design published by Richard Berg [Am J Phys 59(2), 186-187 (1991)] at the University of Maryland. The particular apparatus shown here was built by our own Nils Sorensen.

Plus Minus from Gnomon School of Visual Effects
Plus Minus from Gnomon School of Visual Effects on Vimeo.
Plus Minus is the second original project to come out of Gnomon Studios. It's co-directed by feature film directors Shane Acker and Aristomenis Tsirbas.
Shane Acker approached Gnomon Studios in September 2009 with the idea for Plus Minus. Production began soon after with Teftt Smith acting as visual effects supervisor. Aristomenis Tsirbas joined the team in March of 2010 to co-direct and supervise the completion of the project.
Since Gnomon Studios is in the same studio lot as the acclaimed Gnomon School of Visual Effects and The Gnomon Workshop, the studio has been able to invite some of the word's greatest emerging visual effects and animation talents to participate in the production. The stunning results are a testament to the quality of education offered at the school.

Good Morning Chicago - Your daily sunrise for the month of June
Good Morning Chicago - Your daily sunrise for the month of June from Craig Shimala on Vimeo.
June was the first month this year that I had no travel plans so I challenged myself to wake up everyday at around 5am to capture the sunrise on downtown Chicago. I'm pretty proud I was able to wake up 29 of the 30 days at such and early hour of the day. Each shot you see in the video is in sequential order. 9 of the 30 days Mother Nature did not cooperate and provided either rain or heavy overcast skies. As a result, those days were left out since the captured footage wasn't much to look at.
I used two cameras with a number of different lenses. A Canon 7D and an old Canon Rebel directly connected to a laptop. Unfortunately, the Rebel had some dirty sensor issues so some shots are not perfect. The majority of the shots were taken every 5 to 10 seconds and then stitched together as a sequence using Quicktime Pro at 60 fps. The final edit was done in Sony Vegas Movie Studio.
I wish the final render was better. Too many random chunks of compression. Maybe my way of rendering the original QuickTime into a AVCHD Mpeg2 video was a horrible idea. It's never let me down in the past. Any advice?
What's next?
- I would like to setup a camera that is never touched and capture the exact same shot at the exact same settings every day.
- Another version I would like to setup at a different location in the city each day.

Teaser realized for the launch of the album 'The Second Wavelength' from the CRL Studios.
This teaser was fashioned by itself in the mind of not necessarily trying to make sense of things but rather to feel them, It's where the abstract can bring another universe, a key of dreams, to give free rein to the imagination and reach to give this project a soul by filling it with various feelings that make us who we are.
