Augustus vorig jaar mochten we genieten van een schitterende voorstelling Transports Exceptionnels van de Franse Compagnie Beau Geste – een fascinerende dans van mens en machine in het kader van het Limburg Festival.
In de fantastische entourage van De Lus van Linne had de organisatie van het Limburg Festival in samenwerking met het Limburgs Landschap en Ballast Nedam een bijzonder fraai cultureel evenement samengesteld – wandeling vanaf de stuw van Osen bij Heel, informatie door het Limburgs Landschap, oversteek op een geïmproviseerd pontje en als slotstuk de genoemde dansvoorstelling.

De videoclip geeft een impressie van de voorstelling en de foto’s.

Op het fotoblog Digkieks krijgt inmiddels een multimedia-project met de naam IN THE PICTURE vorm – een interactieve en steeds wisselende compositie van foto’s, muziek en animaties. De bezoeker kan interactief met de muis zijn weg zoeken in de de beeldcompositie en clips starten of stoppen, het beeld vernieuwen, proberen patronen te genereren van kleurrijke, zwartwit- of sepia-opnamen.
Het is een dynamische compositie, enerzijds door de onbegrensde combinaties, anderzijds doordat er met grote regelmaat nieuw materiaal wordt toegevoegd aan de site en daarmee ook aan de creatie IN THE PICTURE.

Digkieks.com (ook te bereiken via digkieks.nl en digkieks.eu) is een vrij recent weblog met foto’s van o.a. verschillende Venloop-edities, MA-Run, carnavalsoptochten in het Noordlimburgse, enzovoort.

Deze clip geeft een impressie van het project IN THE PICTURE.

In early Fall 2011, I shot some footage with a pre-production model of the Canon EOS C300 for one week in NYC. I created an article and a video for Canon based on my experiences with the camera. The video is meant to poke fun at most camera test videos I’ve seen over the years. Canon, not thrilled with my sense of humor, does not credit or condone this video, but I think it shows a lot of the camera’s strengths. You can read my full article about the EOS C300 here: learn.usa.canon.com/resources/articles/2011/c300_for_cinematographers.shtml I believe that Canon made a beautiful camera that is sensible, reliable and portable in a way that I’ve always dreamed a camera could be. It prioritizes great skin tone and has higher ISO sensitivity than any other camera out there. I know there’s nothing I can say to change the minds of the RED fan club. For the rest of the skeptics, I think once you get your hands on it you’ll understand how great this camera really is. Please buy this camera in January and go film some good skin tones in the dark. You’ll love it. Thanks go out to all my friends for helping me with this. ***UPDATE: Jonathan Yi will be live on planet5D discussing the Canon EOS C300 Monday Dec 5th at 4pm Eastern (9pm GMT) – and there’s a chat room so you’ll get to ask questions! planet5d.com/live Cast: Jonathan Yi , Corwin Carroll , Yousheng Tang , Paul Yee , Ben Kim , James P.
