I've just seen the stairs in Edinburgh's branch of Urban Outfitters on Princes Street and, being a bit of a ply fanatic, they're well worth a quick blog post. I love the fact they've been designed by laminating numerous layers to produce what can only be described as an awesome thickness of ply. The diagonal grain means any glorious angle you look at these treads from, all you see is end grain. Nice, huh? If you don't understand the beauty of this, shake yourself and try again...
"Time Flies" is a little stop frame animation of a two hour budget flight condensed into seven seconds. I've just cobbled it together for now, if I can think of a real use for it I'll commit a bit more time for proper grading and transitions as it's a bit raw right now. I tried to capture as many interesting clouds, wing tilts and flap movements as possible to cram as much difference into a short space of time as I could.
This stop frame video by Eric Testroete of his photos from a trip to Japan is really well put together and, partly because it's Japan, enchanting to watch. Anyone who's been there will fleetingly recognise so many of the flashes of places and thoroughly enjoy the video even more.
