THE DUDE (Director's Cut) by Jeff Feuerzeig

Meet the dude behind The Dude! Sundance Award winning director JEFF FEUERZEIG, (THE DEVIL AND DANIEL JOHNSTON, ESPN 30 for 30's THE REAL ROCKY), reveals the inspiration for the beloved central character in the Coen Brothers' cult-favorite film THE BIG LEBOWSKI. This documentary short follows Jeff Dowd to a Lebowski Fest offering a glimpse into this fascinating subculture and colorful real-life character behind the iconic mythical Dude and the secret to how he always abides... http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_11?url=search-alias%3Dinstant-video&field-keywords=devil+and+daniel+johnston&sprefix=devil+and+d%2Cinstant-video%2C271 http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/30_for_30_The_Real_Rocky/70236268?locale=en-US www.feuerzeig.com http://www.sonsanddaughters.ca/directors/jeff-feuerzeig/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Feuerzeig HOW I MET THE DUDE by Jeff Feuerzeig In 1986, twelve years before The Big Lebowski, first screenplay in hand, I flew from NY to LA, rented a car, and pulled up to The Dude's dilapidated apartment/office on the "boardwalk" of Venice Beach for my very first Hollywood meeting. As if on cue, this Avery Schreiber-looking mop-topped behemoth clad in super-tight grape smuggling polyester shorts and a hideous floral Hawaiian shirt rolled up on roller blades and welcomed me to paradise. While I stood on his sagging balcony overlooking the Pacific Ocean watching all the blonde bikini-clad beach girls in leg warmers skate by, the Dude ransacked his living room, overturning stacks of unread scripts, looking for my screenplay, which I'm still not convinced he'd read. Finally locating it, he launched into an inspirational rant, this bear-like wild tangle of hair showering me with spittle as he gesticulated wildly, telling me with a straight face that I was “the next Cassavetes” and I was going to make films my own way. The Dude and I never did work together, but over the years we’d cross paths on the festival circuit, and it always warmed my heart that such a character, this true believer, was still carrying the torch for Independent film. When the Coen Brothers made The Big Lebowski in 1998, I sat in a darkened theater trying to reconcile the Dude I knew with the fictitious character Jeff Bridges was playing on screen -- Jeff “The Dude” Lebowski -- but I was not surprised in the least that the Coens found inspiration in the Dude. Jeff Dowd is a right of passage in the indie film world -- baptism by the Dude -- his spittle and good vibes setting you free to create a world of your own.

NIKON - CHASING THE LIGHT by Florian Schulz

About a year ago I received an intriguing email from Nikon Tokyo asking me if I would have the time to participate in a special project. Little idea did I have that a few months later I would have the honor to be the first photographer to shoot the new Nikon D600 in the field. From the beginning it was clear to me that I wanted to create a powerful video along with the images and asked my brother Salomon Schulz, who specializes in film-making, to be part of the team to create the official Nikon D600 Movie. Looking at the specs of the D600, we realized this was an extremely versatile camera. That is the reason why we wanted to test the camera shooting landscapes and wildlife, from the deserts of the South West to the mountains of Alaska, and that in winter time. 

For us photography is a passion that goes far beyond the technical aspects of a camera. It is about experiencing the natural world. In "CHASING THE LIGHT" we wanted to get the feeling across what it is like to head out into the wild to document the natural world. We wanted everybody who likes nature photography to see themselves in this film and say: It is about time I am getting out into the field again. I hope this film does this for you!

Jason Smyth - Paralympian by DESIGN FOR LIFE

Visually impaired sprinter Jason Smyth achieved fame at the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games when he won the 100m (10.62) and 200m (21.4 3) T13 races in world record times. He fully merits his nickname of “The Fastest Paralympian on Earth”. The Derry man is based in Florida and trains with US sprint king Tyson Gay, a former world champion and owner of the second fastest 100m of all-time. Gay describes Jason as “one of the most technically gifted sprinters alive”. Jason’s success in Beijing was no surprise as two years earlier he had won gold in the 100m (10.86) and 200m (21.83) at the 2006 IPC Athletics World Championships in the Netherlands. A back injury ruled him out of the 2011 IPC Athletics World Championships in New Zealand, but he, together with fellow Paralympian Oscar Pistorius, competed at 2011’s IAAF World Championships in Korea. Jason achieved the Olympic “B” standard time for 100m (10.22 seconds) but fell just short of the “A” standard of 10.18 – this would have made him the first track athlete to compete at both Olympic and Paralympic Games. Jason is now focused on retaining his Paralympic 100m and 200m titles. The International Paralympic Committee have marked him as one to watch at the Games – he’ll have high hopes of glory in London’s Olympic Stadium.

A day in Rio De Janeiro by Joe Simon Films

In my down time on work trips I like to film time lapses. For me it's a relaxing thing and it allows me to enjoy my environment since I have to sit there while the camera works for 15min - 5 hours. So recently in Rio De Janeiro I set out to film at some of the popular locations with amazing views. As you watch the video see if you can follow the links as I take you on a tour of the city.

Purely Pacific Northwest by John Eklund

I am a photographer from Portland, Oregon. I want to share the beautiful NW region through my eyes with time-lapse photography. I choose to shoot locations that appeal to the way I would like to interpret the story of time. Here in the Pacific Northwest, there are endless opportunities to document the magnificence of the world around us. I have discovered that when time is the storyteller, a special kind of truth emerges. Various locations include ... Mt. Shuksan, Crater Lake, Mt. Bachelor, Mount St. Helens, Oregon's Badlands, Painted Hills, Cape Kiwanda, Mt. Hood, Lost lake, and Cannon Beach I started this project in July 2011 and shot the final scene in August 2012. I took approximately 260,000 images. I used 6.3 TB of hard drive space.

NYT - Circle Squared by HunterGatherer

Circle Squared is a commissioned animation for the New York Times' 'T Magazine'. It was released around the holidays as part of a series of shorts that explored the theme of 'Giving'. The story is told through stop-motion animation, using toy-like hand-made wooden forms. The shapes interact similarly to the way Russian dolls nest. These cube-animal shapes originate from the idea of a box containing a gift, but instead of depicting a literal gift-giving situation, the story is rooted in the cycle of nature, where animals end up unwittingly giving of themselves so that other creatures may live. Circle Squared won a Webby and was nominated for a 2007 Emmy.

Right Beneath the Surface by Eliot Rausch

In Loving Memory of Issa Albert Simon (08/28/1981 - 07/10/2012) written by Eliot Rausch "I'm not sure what keeps us above the surface. Above the darkness. Above the place of finality. An invisible line. On the edge of life. Slipping. Here. Right now. Delicate and fragile. It is my breath. A heartbeat. As I fight. As I surrender. To it's force. It's pull. Somehow it keeps me. Pushes me. Lifts me. Without me. Where there is no time. No line. No darkness. It is here. I understand. Here. Right beneath the surface." Searchers found the body of a Rancho Cucamonga man east of Barstow two days after he disappeared from a religious retreat. Issa Albert Simon, 30, was found dead at 5:40 a.m. Wednesday about eight miles from the St. Antony Coptic Orthodox Monastery, which sits on 360 acres in Newberry Springs. Friends last saw Simon about 7:30 p.m. Monday. He did not attend an 8 p.m. service at the monastery and was not seen the rest of the night or the next day. Visitors at the retreat called the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department on Tuesday and reported Simon missing. "They were concerned because the man had left his belongings behind," said sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Bachman. Sheriff's personnel in helicopters swept across the remote desert area, trying to find any sign of the man. "That was probably the most important part of the search because we're talking about a large area of wide open desert," Bachman said. Search-and-rescue teams hit the ground later in the day and continued looking for Simon through the night, using trackers and all-terrain vehicles. Officials at the Fort Irwin National Training Center offered a helicopter to help with the search. About 3:15 a.m. Wednesday, members of one of the search teams found tracks and then spotted some marks where the man may have fallen, Bachman said. His body was found several hours later. Bachman said there is no evidence that Simon was the victim of foul play.

ICELAND EMOTIONAL LANDSCAPES by Cyril Balta

What can I say about this amazing country? This is probably the most surprising, beautiful, impressive and powerful place I've ever been to. It's like Mother Nature is giving a show. Thanx to Iceland I realised that our beloved Planet Earth is living under our feet, moving and breathing like us, little human beings. Sitting in front of these gigantic glaciers thongs, watching icebergs at Jokulsarlon, walking on lava fields, craters, black sand beaches, smelling the sulfur of Namafjall, listening to the deep roar of Dettifoss waterfall... well, you can't possibly forget this experience. About the film, it was shot (on GH1) in september 2011 during a 15 days roadtrip around the island. The weather was really really bad: 5°C average temperature, heavy wind and rain almost 24h/24 until the last couple of days. Actually when the sun appeared we almost had tears of joy! I also made the soundtrack myself, it has been quite a long process, but hopefully you will appreciate the final result. Enjoy and visit Iceland! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Que dire à propos de cet incroyable pays? C'est probablement l'endroit le plus beau, surprenant, impressionnant et puissant que j'ai eu l'occasion de voir. C'est comme si Dame Nature avait décidé de nous faire un petit spectacle rien que pour nous. Grace à l'Islande j'ai réalisé que notre chère Planète Terre était belle et bien vivante, là, sous nos pieds. Elle respire et elle bouge tout comme nous les petits êtres humains. S'asseoir juste devant ces énormes langues de glaciers, admirer les icebergs de Jokulsarlon, marcher sur les champs de lave, les cratères et les plages de sable noir, sentir le soufre de Namafjall vous chatouiller les narines, écouter le grondement sourd de la cascade Dettifoss... impossible d'oublier cette expérience unique. A propos du film, il a été tourné (avec un GH1) lors d'un voyage en voiture de 15 jours en septembre 2011. La météo était vraiment très très mauvaise: 5°C en moyenne avec souvent beaucoup de vent et surtout la pluie quasiment 24h/24. L'avant dernier jour, quand le soleil est enfin apparu nous en avons presque pleuré de joie! J'ai aussi fait moi-même toute la musique et le sound design, ça a été un processus assez long mais j'espère que vous apprécierez le résultat final. Bon film et allez visiter l'Islande!

EXISTENCE A TIMELAPSE PROJECT by Michael Shainblum

Its been almost a year since i started my journey into time-lapse photography. This project has been an ongoing process for about 4 months. There was a lot of trial and error, there were also many sleepless nights in many different unexpected places. This film has taught me about patience and what it really takes to achieve the shot that you dream about in your head. The gear isn't as important as the passion you put within your work. This short video is called EXISTENCE. The video is a statement not only about time and progression, but also a statement about the world we have created for ourselves. The videos contrasts the two extremes of life itself. The urban metropolis and the beauty outside the city. I love to stargaze, watching the milky way float across the sky is one of the most therapeutic experiences i have felt. If you havent, then i strongly recommend taking the time to do so.
