  • Consoul (Lasse Gjertsen 2009)

    Youtube aka Google finally decided to extend their 10 minute limit to compete with Hulu, and I can finally upload the film that I might consider my best work yet, and definitely my most personal film. It is my first real professional short, and was produced by Alligator AS in Bergen, Norway. It is basically my first attempt of videographic shamanism. It is a story about a persons life and death told in 8-bits video game graphics. I made it in about half a year together with my best friend Trygve Knudsen, who made the 3D-sequences. I made all the 8-bit-shit 🙂 We worked on and off with it from February 2008 and completed it in January 2009. It has been screened at a bunch of film festivals all over the planet, and is originally made for 35mm film with surround sound (kicks in during the 3D-sequences). Therefore it might be perceived as being a bit sloooow, but fuck you and your internet attention span in that case :p The 8-bit stuff is designed in Photoshop and animated with After Effects. I downloaded emulators for Amiga, Sega, Nintendo and so forth and had to play a shit load of games to look at the graphics and game play for inspiration. It was pretty sweet to get paid for that 🙂 The music is composed with FL Studio. There are a lot of references to people and movies, and not to mention; video games, that have contributed inspiration wise, and if you turn on annotations, you’ll get it all revealed 🙂 You can download a shortened version of the soundtrack from www.nrk …

Fight as and against iconic characters including Raiden, Johnny Cage and Scorpion. Go fist-to-fist with your friends via tag team, co-op arcade and team online modes. Playable in amazing stereoscopic 3D. Presentation Paint the town red From a flash of its animated main menu screen, Mortal Kombat on PlayStation 3 impresses with spectacular visuals. The grand scale of the tournament is displayed with brilliant animation from both the intimidating fighters and the dynamic locations. NetherRealm Studios drags you into this fearsome competition with a range of detailed and convincing effects that are memorable and fitting for the brutal world of Mortal Kombat. While each warrior has their own fighting style and mannerisms, they also suffer gruesome battle damage as the fight progresses, complementing the slick looking action. If you have a compatible stereoscopic 3D TV then proceedings become even livelier as weapons, beaten fighters and other elements fly out of the screen during bouts. All of these visuals are nicely brought together with some bone crunching sound effects, battle taunts …

    Yesterday, the sky over Bellefonte, PA was ripped apart by color and clouds. I know every sunset is unique and special, but I had never quite seen something like this. Rushing home from the grocery store, I frantically tried to take a picture on my 1.3 megapixel phone from pre-Revolutionary War times. Gripped by panic, I parked in front of my apartment building and charged up the steps, nearly breaking my key off in the lock. The entire town was engulfed in this pinkish haze as the sun began to disappear. I grabbed my tripod and camera, quickly throwing on my wide-angle lens and sprinting across the street to the park there.

    Mud sloshed through my sandals, and I was in shorts despite it being mid-January in central Pennsylvania. Reaching a rickety bridge crossing a stream through the park, I threw open the tripod legs and quickly attempted to frame the shot…

    …and then a child began running across the suspension bridge, sending it swinging and rocking as her father stomped along behind her. The sun was gone, the last bright pinks and purples fading away to grey as the bridge finally became still again. Sighing, I snapped off a few merely out of principle and trudged home.

    Colin is a 27-year-old Bellefonte photographer from Pennsylvania. His uncanny ability to completely destroy any piece of lighting equipment that he touches continually drives him outdoors to capture the breathtaking scenes Mother Nature has to offer.

  • How to set your SONY D-SLR for optimum results

    Gary Fong, a professional photographer for 20 years, and inventor of the Lightsphere Flash Diffuser, explains how to take your camera off of fully automatic, while keeping safety and creativity to a maximum by adjusting the camera settings. These settings greatly increase consistently correct images, yet give the photographer the ability to have creative control over contrast, ambient light during flash, and more selective focus when outdoors. Intended for photographers from beginning to advanced event photographers. To see my light modifiers, please visit my website at www.garyfong.com

  • Think You Can Sell That Photo of Your Cat on Your Living Room Couch as Stock Photography? Think Again.

    Shooter at Rest

    I just got an email from Getty Images that I suspect is a mass email to all of their various contributors. In the email Getty is asking for help in identifying our photographs that might contain images of designer furniture. The email states that French courts have found in favor of the Le Corbusier rights-holders against Getty in a case where furniture was in the stock photograph.

    Here is the email below with emails redacted:

    “Attention all Flickr Collection on Getty Images Contributors!

    You may have heard about a recent case (actually more than one case) where Getty Images and some of our photographers have had claims lodged against us in French court for images which include designer furniture, even as a minor part of the image.

    This is a serious issue that involves potential liability for you as photographers.

    The French courts have found in favor of the Le Corbusier rights-holders who initiated these claims. While we disagree with the decision and we are appealing it, we are very mindful that for now, it is a valid decision. It is critical that you understand that any claim like this one is extremely serious and requires action on your part in order to protect your interests, not just ours. We will continue to fight this decision, but in the meantime we must continue to actively pull content from our site that may be deemed infringing. We simply cannot identify all problematic images as quickly without your active participation. And quick action is vital.

    Most importantly, if you believe that any of the images you have uploaded to us might possibly include any designer furniture, please email the Getty Images ID numbers to [email redacted] as soon as possible! The sooner we can identify and remove potentially infringing images the better we can reduce potential legal problems.

    We are including links to information and FAQs that give more information on this issue and we strongly request that you read them and study the visual guides included.

    You can also read the original Le Corbusier complaint here:

    In English

    Original in French (clearer photos)

    Please note: because we are still engaged in litigation, we are very limited in what comments we can make or questions we can answer. If you do have questions please email [email redacted] especially for any specific images you believe may be a problem.

    This is only for images you have on the gettyimages.com site. We cannot answer questions about images you have posted on Flickr or elsewhere.

    Thank you for your help and attention to this very important matter.”
