"Sliders and dollies help you tell your story with beautiful camera moves." So sayeth filmmaker Zeke Kamm of Nice Industries. Hard to argue with that statement. Well-placed, well-executed dolly shots increase production value, no question there. They can also increase production time and total gear load, as traditional sliders are bulky and a bitch to set up. That's where Kamm's Rocket Travel Slider comes in. Capable of delivering up to 10 foot long, smooth dolly...

http://youtu.be/54yahfgbqQE Documentary makes the impermanent permanent. It's a satisfactory compromise for street artist Jason Shelowitz (AKA Jay Shells), whose 'Rap Quotes' project has the longevity of a fruit fly or a sand castle at low tide.

Superfun piece here. Reverse motion isn't a new technique by any stretch, but it doesn't need to be. Messe Kopp had a cool idea and executed it - turned out fun and cool. And above all, he went and CREATED something, versus sitting around talking about it. Great example of being creative on a low budget. #respect Check out more of Messe Kopp's stuff here: Facebook You tube The track is called "White Lies" by...

Nemo Timelapse from jere7my tho?rpe on Vimeo. Pounded with as much as three feet of snow on Friday and Saturday, the Northeast, and especially New England, USA was basically buried by the storm called NEMO.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N27MnyRXGqY&feature=youtu.be If you're a regular reader you know that I'm a big Lumineers fan. They’ve been on my radar for a while and are one of my favorites right now. My friend John Richards from Seattle's KEXP first brought The Lumineers to my attention. John, along with their manager Dave, gave me the head's up that these guys had the special sauce. So we had them on chasejarvisLIVE back in April 2012. It was a...
