The San Francisco Cloud, Timelapse in HD

San Francisco Cloud in Hi-Def

The video linked to above is a really nice 720p timelapse of San Francisco harbour over a 24hr period.

From the early morning cloud (going from east to west which is apparently very rare), through a clear sunny day and ending at night after a very scenic sunset.

Resonating Rice

Thanks go to Nick for sending this intriguing video of patterns created by the influence of different resonances on rice.

Augmented Sculpture by Pablo Valbuena

I am still a little unconvinced by the video that this is not a 3d rendering, but apparently it is real and was shown in Madrid.

Created by Pablo Valbuena, it mixes a “volumetric base that serves as support for a second level, a virtual projected layer that allows controlling the transformation and sequentiality of space-time.”

The Augmented Sculpture is something really quite amazing to behold.

New Years Fireworks In London

The fireworks at the Embankment in London last night, complete with crazy guys on the ‘firework boat’ and the obligatory false ending (carefully disguised by a quick producer).

Spluch has the rest of the major firework displays around the world welcoming in the new year.

Zumbakamera’s Bendito Machine

The delightfully thought provoking Bendito Machine. This is the first part of a series of 10 by animator; Jossie Malis.

A great start for the new year.
