Signal To Noise
Time-lapse footage taken at the Very Large Array in Socorro, New Mexico; one of the largest Radio Astronomy Observatories in the world.
As a learning exercise, and something to challenge myself, I wanted to try to combine two of my favorite things: motion-graphics and time-lapse photography.
I also wanted to see if I could stretch my editing techniques a little further.
The VLA really is a legitimately amazing thing to see in person. If you’ve ever considered making a visit, you should.
It’s an awe-inspiring feat of human engineering, and the surroundings are gorgeous. Unbelievable skies in New Mexico. I caught some nasty weather, but it was still a great experience. I’m definitely going back!

1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2.The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
3.Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Tim Knol - When I Am King
Like the proud parents of a new-born child, we present you with the labor of love that is the video for When I Am King by Dutch indie rocker Tim Knol. The video was painstakingly put together by hotshot superbot Sverre Fredriksen who soldered ten tons (or thereabouts) of timber to create the images, and stop motion to animate them – averaging five hours of work per second shown. The clip was produced by our hot sister, YellowSubmarine, and we took the opp to create a ‘making of’ video, which you can see on2pause.submarinechannel.com (our homage to the art of music vids) along with this video and many many more.
As three Soviet cosmonauts arrive from Earth they find the emblem from Luna-2, the first man-made object to impact the Moon. The Space Race is thus won.
I like that the two cosmonauts on the right are holding hands, so sweet :)
