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.

Colombia - Timelapse by MB Films
Colombia - 2012 On my second holiday to this stunning country I decided to do the fatal thing and take my camera along with me. I thought about shooting a timelapse shot or two… I ended up filming on average 2 shots per day over the course of 4 weeks and it really became a working holiday! I was a little nervous to begin with. I had been there before, but didn’t take my DSLR along with me. Now Colombia is vastly safer than it was 20-30 years ago – however its still a little risky if you don’t know where to go. Also, the very nature of timelapse means your stuck in one place for an hour or two and it could be a nice target for opportunists! Luckily I had my father in law and new camera assistant Moises - He even took a small baseball bat along with him on an evening in Bogota! In the end we weren’t troubled at all and I’m so glad I managed to capture so many great images. Quite a bit of this film was shot in Bogota, and in the Quindio region, including Armenia. We also travelled to Melgar, Manizales and Pereira. I was limited in what I could take kit wise due to travelling with a baby. So I took a very lightweight tripod, a Canon7D and my trusty 17-55mm f2.8 lens. Had a few problems with camera shake in post, but actually the small tripod held up OK! This time round I shot a fair amount of HDR timelapse – and had days of processing with Photomatix. On balance I think it was really worth it. So many of the scenes had extreme exposure contrast and I really wanted to preserve detail in the sky and in the landscape itself. It was cut using FCP, and graded with Magic Bullet Looks. All of the tilt shift effects are done in post using Magic Bullet. Please do go ahead and visit this country if you get the chance! Ed Beck MB Films

Legend: A Journey Through Iceland by Henry Jun Wah Lee
Like us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/evosiastudios Follow us on Twitter: www.twitter.com/evosia Website: www.evosiastudios.com A joint collaboration with rock / ambient / experimental band MONO (www.monoishere.com), Legend takes you on an epic 12 minute visual and aural journey through Iceland's breathtaking landscapes during the time of the midnight sun. The film travels across Iceland, from the floating blue icebergs of Jokulsarlon's glacial lagoon to the steaming geothermic vents of Myvatn, the colorful mountains of Landmannalaugar to the breathtaking sunsets on Snaefellnes Peninsula, and the barren volcanic landscapes of Askja to the vast fields of lupin near Husavik. Legend was shot over a 2 week period in June 2012 when the sun barely sets below the horizon and you never see darkness. It was filmed completely in 5K resolution using Canon full frame DSLRs on motion timelapse equipment from Kessler Crane. Mono's score of the same name, Legend, is from their upcoming album "For my parents". Its edgy cinematic and epic quality helps describe Iceland - a breathtakingly beautiful yet unforgivingly dangerous place. The album is available for pre-order: http://www.monoishere.com/2012/07/30/pre-order-for-my-parents-now/ We would like to thank the following supporters for making this film possible: Kessler Crane: www.KesslerCrane.com Glacier Rental Car: www.glaciercarrental.is Special thanks to Egill Agustsson and Adalsteinn Petur Karlsson of Husavik for their help with my car problems on Iceland National Day. It's the country's biggest holiday and they helped me get back on the road so I could continue filming. Last but not least, a big thank you to fellow filmmaker Joe Capra (www.scientifantastic.com) for his guidance and inspiration. His tips and advice were invaluable in helping me prepare for this trip. A 4K version will be released soon, along with a behind the scenes video! Please follow or subscribe to us to receive the latest updates.
