Eterna from Vadzim Khudabets of Behind The Epic has got to be one of the most amazing jobs of video editing I have seen this year. Since he does trailers for a living, this has to be his version of a demo reel. If you haven’t already seen this, nothing I say can possibly prepare you for it; enjoy, and morn the fact that you will never be able to sit down in a theater and watch this movie.

InterScreech 2013 was assembled by Julie Meitz and focused on the surreal side of Linguistics. It was created as a presentation to Interspeech 2013, the world’s largest conference on the science and technology of Spoken Language Processing. Some of their disciplines include speech production, phonetics, speech synthesis, and speaker recognition. Julie has created a number of other interesting videos you should take the time to check out after watching this one.

This amazing video was created by Gary Yost, who is a true artist with video. That isn’t just my opinion; his documentary The Invisible Peak has won an assortment of awards, as one example. This one was shot using time lapse filming in the infrared spectrum in Hawaii, not a normal choice for most presentations but it works very well here, and his appreciation of his subject is obvious in his composition. If you enjoy this one, visit his Vimeo page and check out some of his other work. Thanks to Laughing Squid for the heads up on this one.

In Spring and Chaos we see the animated biography of Kenji Miyazawa. He was Japan’s most read and beloved modern poet. The film was released as a TV Special in 1996 to mark the 100th anniversary of Miyazawa’s birth, and while I do not know how they got permission to mirror it, it seems TokyoPop TV apparently did. Enjoy, and learn a bit about one of the worlds best artists, if you do not already know about him.
I am sorry to report that H.R. Gigar is no longer with us; he passed Monday after a fall at home according to this BBC Report. His organic artwork was amazing, and although it appeared in a lot of projects he will no doubt be best remembered for his Starship designs for the film series Alien by Ridly Scott.
I wish I could post the image here, but the artist has asked that no one does that, but rather gives a link to her work on her Deviant Art site. Mimi-Na’s Doctors Girls is quite a nice work of art, and she really caught the iconic female companions perfectly, so you know at a glance who each one is. Between the facial expressions and the font used in each word balloon she even manages to convey the basic personality of each companion. While you are there, take a look at her other sci-i art, including a bunch more Doctor Who images.
