Love this show. Jordan Laws with a cool little show highlight edit with the Beastie Boys.

From Screenwerks Vimeo Page:
We're addicted to 'Girls,' the new hit series on HBO. It's like a younger, hipper 'Sex And The City,' written by, directed by and starring Lena Dunham, sort of a female version of Larry David (without all the money). The show deals frankly with the humiliations of a group of early-20s females in New York. Inspired by the cutting-edge humor and racy subject matter, Jordan Laws matched some of the show's early highlights with the iconic Beastie Boys song of the same title (rest in peace MCA). Enjoy!

Awesome track with a creative and fun video. This is what music videos are supposed to be like. Refreshing.

Feature - Early Abstract Film
When our friends from Moederschip mentioned that their new footage pack FingerPaint was inspired by the artist Len Lye, we started talking about the pioneers of our field. You cannot help but be amazed by what some of these boys and girls were doing over half a century ago. With all the amazing technology we have at our fingertips these days, some of the work they did still blows ours out of the water. Moederschip was so kind to enlighten us on a few classics, so read on and get edumacated.

Early abstract film

Throughout history, many artists have been aiming for a synergy between visuals and sound. Abstract film and music visualisation are closely related and their history often overlaps. Early projection techniques like the Magic lantern (around 1650) were often accompanied by music and storytelling, though those were not abstract works.

The Italian painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo came up with a system to connect music and luminosity around 1590. This was only a concept, instruments to play it followed. Around 1730, the french monk Louis Bertrand Castel developed a more direct connection between both media: the Ocular Harpsichord (Color organ), an instrument that played notes and colours with the touch of a key. In a way the Ocular Harpsichord was much alike the lcd-projectors we use today: (60) small coloured glass panes (pixels) were covered by tiny curtains and opened briefly with the touch of the organ keys. A later version projected the colours with 500 candles in front of a small audience. The idea of visualising music (colour music) was developed further in the years and many translations of musical pieces were made. These pure visualisations of music found their way into our modern DMX controlled lights.

The invention of the motion picture film camera in 1888 and the film projector changed the landscape of music visualisation dramatically. The first abstract movies were directly painted on film by the Italian Futurists Bruno Corra and Arnaldo Ginna between 1911 and 1912. Unfortunately, these works are all lost, just like the abstract work made by the German Hans Stoltenberg in the same period. Through a series of prominent artists and their works we show you an impression of the first abstract experiments up to the first computer animations in art.

A very important film in the history of abstract film, called “Rhythmus 21”, was made in 1921 by the German dadaist painter and self proclaimed “first abstract film maker” Hans Richter:

So I have a Cinco de Mayo gig this weekend. It's a small venue with almost no room for a projector. So I was searching for a stand or mount for my short throw projector. I found this video. This is excactly what I need.


This projector mount will hold your valuable beamer securely while allowing you to point it most anywhere you would need. The components can be found at Lighting/Grip or Photography resellers. The parts as described here run about $130 – not cheap, but well worth it to protect and properly utilize your expensive video projection box.
Thanks to VJ Exavior for the inspiration and original design!
(aside: if someone comes up with a way to make this out of cheaper parts, do let me know!)
Here’s how the construction works:
1. The Clamp. I used a 6 inch clamp, specifically, a Matthews Matthellini 6″ End Jaw Clamp, approx $50 new. Make sure you get one that has rubber coating inside to protect the surface to which you are clamping.
2. The Clamp slides into the Grip Head, for which I used a Manfrotto Avenger D200 – approx $23 new.
3. The Grip Head slides into a Swivel Pin, in this case an Avenger F830 Baby to Junior Swivel Pin – approx $35 new.
4. At the end sits a Mounting Plate – I used an Avenger F800 3″ Baby Wall Plate – approx $12 new.
5. The last piece will have to be custom fit to your projector:
Start with a board at least 2 inches larger than your projector on each side.
Make a stencil by laying a bit of paper over your projector and using an awl or screwdriver to punch holes through the paper into the screw holes in the projector.
Tape the stencil to your board, and drill through both. Now the 3 (or 4) holes in your board match the spacing of the 3 (or 4) holes in your projector base.
Attach the board to the Mounting Plate, and then the board to the projector.
I usually get my clamp all set up first, then bring the projector up to it and make fine adjustments. For extra security, run a cable through the Grip Head and around a beam or well-fastened pipe. This way, your projector won’t fall and kill someone if it does somehow slip loose.

Yes. That is correct. Adobe CS6 apps will be available thru a subscription service. $49.99 a month.
