Watch a Bunch of Films Edited in the Style of "Requiem for a Dream"
Candice Drouet edits several other films--from "Psycho" to "Memento" to "The Grand Budapest Hotel"in the frenetic style of the drug sequences in "Requiem for a Dream."
She explains, "It got me thinking about how this approach seems to fit our current attention span for watching things. It got me asking myself: Do we now watch more in less time, or do we still watch videos in places and moments where we used to wait peacefully like cows? I was only able to find the beginning of an answer: Real life interrupts many of the things I watch, and I like it this way."
Sigur Ros Creates Time-Lapse of Epic 24-Hour Road Trip
If you missed the Sigur Ros 24-hour live-stream of a road trip around their native Iceland, the band has now compiled the footage into a five-minute time-lapse, set to their song "veour."

FDNY's Herlocker to Address Government Video Expo
Few people need information fast like the commander of a fire scene does.
Attendees to Government Video Expo & the National Drone Show will hear about the New York Fire Department's aggressive urban firefighting strategy from Timothy E. Herlocker, director of the FDNY Emergency Operations Center.
The EOC is the department's information hub and command & control center, where Herlocker has designed and implemented systems and policies to provide real-time data to support rapid decision-making by incident commanders and senior executives.
His session is titled "Live Video Supports Tactical Decision-Making in the Nation's Largest Fire Department."
Herlocker has been a leader in the effort to link the nation's fire services as consumers of national intelligence. He led the effort to combine local operations centers into a community of interest in order to create a common operating picture; he has implemented simple approaches to the collection and distribution of live video to support tactical decision-making.
Watch a Jaw-Dropping 12K Time-Lapse of Los Angeles
Joe Capra used a Phase One XF IQ3 100MP camera to shoot a stunning 12K time-lapse of Los Angeles. The extra resolution really shows in the video's fequent use of postproduction zooms.
Capra explains, "There were a lot of technical challenges with this project, mostly related to postproduction. When shooting time-lapse at 100 megapixels you are dealing with massive amounts of data and you start filling up hard drives very quickly. Storage requirements were massive for this project, about 32 TB in total.
"Computer processing power was another difficulty. I am currently running a four year old custom built PC which handles 4K footage very well, but it really did not like 12K footage. It takes a lot of processing power to render out full resolution 12K footage, and my computer was barely able to. Each shot took about six to ten hours in total to render. Sometimes during renders my computer would run out of RAM (I currently have 32 GB) and the computer would freeze up or crash and I would have to start all over again.
"I had countless days where I was dealing with failed renders and RAM shortages. I used Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects for the final edit. All the Adobe products handled the 12K footage very well. I used 4K resolution proxy files to lay down the edit and than switched them out for the full resolution files for final export and upload."
