Spring on Speed: Time-Lapse Video Captures 3 Years of Blooming Flowers

13 May

[ By SA Rogers in Art & Photography & Video. ]

A single sweeping shot seems to capture an entire spring season of blooming flowers in this artfully directed time-lapse video, which took three years to record and complete. Filmmaker Jamie Scott captured almost all of the footage on a soundstage in the closet of his New York home, often against a black backdrop, placing the flowers in stark relief as they unfurl.

The sped-up result almost makes them look like sea creatures waving around under the sea, tentatively opening and then closing again as the camera passes over them. Scott started out filming the flowers from the front, but realized the effect was more dramatic if he shot them from above instead, shifting focus as he went.

In a behind-the-scenes interview with F-stoppers, Scott explains that he made the film in contrast to his previous time-lapse work entitled Fall. The difference between the two films isn’t just the season, but also the close-up shots, shallow depth of field, classical score and placing the camera on a slider.

Blooming Street Lights: Giant Flowers Interact with the City

03 Nov

[ By Steph in Art & Street Art & Graffiti. ]

Step beneath these massive red flowers in Jerusalem’s Vallero Square and they’ll bloom before your eyes, offering light after dark and shelter from the rain. The interactive installation by HQ Architects reacts to pedestrians and traffic, their crimson textile petals filling with air when motion is sensed nearby.

Standing 30 feet tall in two pairs on opposite ends of the square, the flowers can be seen from afar, providing an eye-catching visual for visitors to a busy nearby market. In addition to functioning as public art and street lights, the flowers provide cover to commuters getting on and off the tram.

When the square is full of action, the flowers billow, creating a sense of movement. They go still when all is quiet late at night, their petals closing. An air compressor is built into the top of each one. Named the ‘Warde Project,’ the installation is part of an effort to revitalize a square that felt a little shabby. [Photos by Dor Kedmi]

Dogwoods Blooming in Yosemite National Park

01 May

Last week I took the opportunity to photograph several amazing sights in Yosemite National Park ranging from night & astro landscapes, moonbows and blooming Dogwoods. The later is what captured my eye by day. This is the first time I’ve seen Dogwoods in optimal conditions. In the past I’ve always seen them after a storm or a little too late in the season. One thing I can say after seeing Dogwoods in peak form is that they’re a must see.

Every 15 minutes the camera took a picture, then was moved 2.5″ to the left to take another picture (motor driven). Each pair of pictures was made into an anaglyph for viewing in 3D. You must wear red/cyan glasses to view this in 3D. There were a total of 125 anaglyphs, each one made manually!
