The Steadicam — it can make things so easy, and so beautiful. It can be simply efficient, allowing you to bang out a smooth walk-and-talk without track. Or it can be a show piece, a shot whose virtuosity grabs the audiences’s attention, even if they are unaware of the level of skill and artistry involved. Writes Larry Wright at his Refocused Media blog about the long single takes most associated with the Steadicam:

More often than not, these sequences are accomplished using a Steadicam, which is essentially a balanced stabilizer that allows for smoother and more easily controlled handheld camera operation. Invented by Garrett Brown in the early 70?s, the steadicam shot — or “steadishot” — has become one of the most dynamic and exciting forms of cinematograpi and is one of the most engaging visual techniques in a filmmaker’s storytelling arsenal.

To illustrate, Wright has made a hypnotic video using clips from the top Steadicam shots of all time, as voted on Steadishots.org. Check it out above.

Piano Phase is a piece of music written in 1967 by the minimalist composer Steve Reich for two pianos. It is his first attempt at applying his "phasing" technique, which he had previously used in the tape pieces It's Gonna Rain (1965) and Come Out (1966), to live performance.

Some musical Artistry...

 

 

Playing the glasses seems so surreal --- the sound almost seems to not be possible from the glasses filled with water. Truly an artistic performance. I love this topic thread: "Art" and there is so much here to marvel at and appreciate.

Surreal Photography by Oleg Oprisco. Who uses a Kiev 6C and Kiev 88 cameras with 90mm f/2.8, 180mm f/2.8, and 300mm f/4.0 by Meyer Optik Orestegor.

One article says he does use any digital manipulation, but what I believe they meant to say was the framing and props and such are not digitally placed. I find it hard to believe there is zero digital processing going on. Either way, stunning artistry!

Street artist DS recently added a couple of paste-ups to a wall in London. It didn’t take too long before a graffiti removal guy removed the paste-ups. Shortly after that, DS was back with a paste up of the graffiti removal guy removing the graffiti. Gold!
