Canon 5D Mark II Aerial Drone

This by far has to be one of the coolest accessories for your DSLR, an aerial drone with perfect stabilization and ”autonomous GPS position hold” that locks the drone into place even in high winds.  This would be an amazing tool for journalism for safe flyovers of events or disasters.

Perspective Aerials posted an additional video showing off all the features of their new aerial drone system.  The only potential downside would be the loud buzzing from the flying drone if you’re recording the audio at the shoot below.

“Rusty Nails” by Moderate

Lately I have been drawn to creative executions that use simple and minimal elements to tell a story.  Design collective PFADFINDEREI based in Berlin, Germany used a combination of fabric, wind, well placed lights, dancers and illustrations for German music artist Moderate.

PFADFINDEREI’s other work is fantastic—their commissioned art installation for Nike, Yellow Lounge room design, film for Volvo DrivE, and various typefaces.

Whale Song by Modest Mouse

Bent Image Lab just completed this exceptionally dark and beautiful film for the indie-rock band Modest Mouse.  The piece merges live action, stop motion, visual effects and motion graphics to bring the mood of the song to life.

Video Concept:
After entering his personal sanctuary, an artist is presented with a hand-crafted drawing tool that assists him in materializing his mental impressions. The machine discharges his thoughts as an endless web of yarn that guides him through his physical thoughts. The story progresses to reveal that he is divided between two worlds, one of dull reality and the second of warped memories. In the process of finding a way out of his consciousness, he is trapped between the two competing spaces, which eventually inflict lethal damage, acting as metaphors to self-destruction.
