Light Nature



There’s no shadow without light and no light without shadow, without light, there is no nature" - Light Nature. Actually, when I proposed my new movie dealing with something different than the Saxonian Switzerland but somehow I felt in love with that striking landscape and I am not tired of it. Moreover spring in 2014 was very amazing and offered attractive days with great light settings. That's when I decided to put all my footage in a new movie. I hope you’ll get inspired with my home country and I invite you to experience its loveliness once again. Therefore live through the moments I have been through and relish the majestic beauty of nature with all its colors and shapes. Well, time-lapse Recordings in far eastern Germany and Czech Republic.

It is very nice indeed, but one point and lines animation are pretender and flattened, so you can't customize it. it 'll be appreciated to complete your offer, otherwise you are going to loose a lot of costumers.

Waterballet - Shortcutz

Music and video by Kamiel Rongen. This video is part of a liveset I'm still working on.The name Shortcutz is because Shortcutz Amsterdam is a super nice short film festival where young filmmakers have a oppurtunity to show their work. A little thanx to them. This is real phenomenon that happens in the our surrounding, not computer graphic? awesome.

Lake Powell



Spending two days at Lake Powell and enjoying the majestic beauty of blue water and red rock. The Horseshoe Bend invites TBS to do some of their usual trickery. No doubt, this is one of the most remarkable sceneries of our trip for sure. We love your nature videos better than the city ones. So many places nobody has ever been before. My goal is to get better with my Easy Star and build an RC platform to do river and stream proximity flying. This is really incredible work of art. Thanks TBS and Trappy for sharing and making this.

Stunning Twig Sculptures of Patrick Dougherty



The talented North Carolina-based artist Patrick Dougherty has earned an international reputation for weaving tree saplings into substantial, swirling forms that look like bird nests as high as 40 feet. His elegant sculptures are transitory, owning to the nature of the materials used, and break down after a year or two in the wild. Patrick has post-graduate in Hospital and Health Administration, and he started studying art history and sculpture at the University of North Carolina, where he started learning about basic techniques of building, and applying his carpentry abilities with his deep fondness of nature ongoing to experiment with tree saplings as construction material. Patrick Dougherty first artwork was his house. When he was collecting fallen branches, rocks and old timber, Dougherty built a villa where he still lives with his wife and son. By the way, his house is his only eternal work. So more than thirty years, he has built more than 230 of such works that have been seen worldwide from Scotland to Japan to Brussels, and all over the United States.

Meanwhile in a World Far, Far Away



This is really an incredibly short film created during the "Porgrave" shooting, the latest film by Sandro Bocci that will be released at the end of 2015. Meanwhile, you can view the world of marine animals like corals and starfish at high magnification and during long time span through the time-lapse. The music almost alien and disturbing has been joined to the images that stimulate mental associations to create a contrast, stimulate synesthesia and feelings do not necessarily harmonics and assonant. In fact this is an infinitesimal part of the perfect world in which we live and of which we should take better care. Well, a wonderful trip via a different perspective that’d encourage reflections on the consequences of actions on each scale of space & time. Let’s enjoy the vision.
