This is probably the coolest video of an eclipse I’ve ever seen.
Shot by Cory Poole.
700 pictures through a Coronado Solar Max 60 Double Stack telescope were used to make this video. The Telescope has a very narrow bandpass allowing you to see the chromosphere and not the much brighter photosphere below it. The music was composed in Abelton Live.
P.T. Anderson’s latest film.
He directed the trailer as well. It shows.
James Drake put together images (1/30min) from the Russian geostationary Electro-L Weather satellite into one time-lapse video.
A pretty amazing time-lapse map of european political boundaries from about 1000-2005.
A live year counter would be killer, but you can sort of get hold of the major events by watching the relevant territories bloom across the map. The Mongol Invasion (0:20), for example is pretty dramatic. Or WWII (3:02).
Directed by Peter Simonite (who was the second-unit cinematographer on Terrence Malick’s Tree of Life) and Annie Gunn.
Music Video for Primus’ Lee Van Cleef
As a Lee Van Cleef fan, this was instantly one of my favorite tracks off Green Naugahyde.
Directed by Chris Lenox Smith.
