Lens Talk

Even if you're not a photographer and don't care about the differences in lenses, this is pretty good as a short film.

Short Film 'Eyes'

This is what shorts are about. After watching ask yourself when a feature maintained this level of suspense and creepiness.

Drop Everything. Watch 'Rwanda'

I believe a fundamental change has occurred in the world. I believe the quality of life in some 3rd world and developing nations has become better than it is in the United States. This certainly was not the case a decade or so ago, but it would appear to be now.

'Kisses from 'Vienna'

Unpretentious, flowing. One of the best travel shorts I've seen though it's unfair to categorize this film that way. This is a lovely short that simply captures a slice of life. Beautiful.

Short Film shot with the MetaBones Speed Booster

Okay... What's a MetaBones speed booster? Very quickly: it's an adapter with an optical element that goes on your lens (between the lens and the camera) that makes the lens wider, faster, and (get this) sharper.

No way? Impossible? That's what I thought (and still do, a little).

Here's the tech rundown on Philip Bloom's site.

Here's the short shot using the adapter. The film is by James Miller. Here's his Vimeo link. If you're not interested in wonky photo gear the film is still worth watching. Very nice.
