Stop/Motion video #1

I know, i know, there are quite a lot of stop motions videos around these days. yes - many indie music videos are made with stop motion. BUT: i wanna show you two videos that i like very much and you should take a look at, too.

So here is the first. I really like the idea of the video, music and pictures are really supporting each other - alone they can't exist.

enjoy.

Pretty cool way to create digital polaroids...

I just came across a very cool tool to produce digital Polaroids out of your pictures with a simple drag & drop. The software is called PolaDroid and it is available for free @thisplace. Install it, drag & drop the pictures on the Polaroid and wait. Additionally you may set some preferences, like adding stripes and finger stamps on the Polaroids

Here is a screenshot how it looks like:

It comes with funny GUI gimmicks: To accelerate the generation of the Polaroids, you may shake them on your desktop - and you have to restart the software after 16 pictures, because “cartridge is empty”. Ok, this is a funny idea.  But it’s pretty annoying when you are trying to create a bunch of Polaroids, sitting in front of your desktop and shaking the hell out of your mouse o0.

Anyways, the results account for all this waiting/shaking time J - I will upload some of them on my flickr stream within the next days.

Check it out!
