Kendy Ty is a french filmmaker on Vimeo. He uses a lot of camera movement in his work to draw the viewer in. His Voiceover work is soothing, it compliments his streamline camera work.

Tim Kellner is a Filmmaker who travels around the world. what I like most about this work is the sound, he pulls radio audio from the places he's been in Asia. His frames seem to be just B-roll footage all put into one video.

WEEK TEN
Petra Cortright: "Self Portraits"
https://youtu.be/ut8scgsZfV0
Petra Cortright is a visual artist whose work is heavily influenced by the use of green screen and visual video effects in a lot of her other works. I find her art weird but interesting at the same time, I'm not sure "Self Portraits" is supposed to have a deeper meaning or is trying to make a statement in any way, either way visually her work draws and you can't help to watch her videos over and over again, and makes you ask question "what is her purpose for doing this"? whether it's intentional or not it definitely works for her style of art.
Stuart Hilton: "STANLEY SCANLEY"
Stuart Hilton's project titled "STANLEY SCANLEY explained in Hilton's words ("My son Stanley has his brain scanned in slices for science purposes only") is essentially a video compilation of his son Stanley brain being scanned in slow motion timed in with can only be described as ominous, futuristic, psychedelic music. That only strengthens the visuals of the brain being scanned from different angles.

week 10
This short film is called “Wealth Not A Waste – Jib’s Story”
created by Heist Films. I chose to share this video not only because the way it
is shot, but also the meaningful story it tells. I enjoyed how it focuses in on
one person, but it is also about the community. I really liked how there were
different video clips put together and how people talk over the video even if
it cuts to another scene. Overall I think Jib’s story is a great one to listen
to and share and the video is what helps highlight this.
I chose this video called “Mind Mirror” by Meredith Hama-Brown
for the interesting effects that are utilized. It is a stop motion film
containing 2.096 hand cut photographs from a Super 8mm film. I know she did
this by utilizing stop motion, but I feel like there is a way to create some of
the same effects by layering videos in premiere. I would like to explore and
see if there is a way to create something similar.

Taylor Quinley Blog Post #10
Daria Khoroshavina is a Russian artist. She used to photograph her friends and fashion portraiture. She describes her cinema graph work as “probably the most challenging thing I’ve ever done.” She talks about how most confuse cinema graphs with gifs, however gifs have a beginning and an end and cinemagraphs seem continuous. “Spotting movement is exciting, unexpected; it makes you search for it and brings some sort of satisfactory and calming feeling.”
Perta A Vajger is a fashion design graduate from The Faculty of Design in Ljubljana, Slovenia. She never really felt like a fashion designer, her passion was GIFS and now cinemagraphs. “I find cinemagraphs interesting because they are freaky and beautiful at the same time and you can watch them forever and ever.” She now works for Fixel. Her work tends to be inspired by fashion, costumes, performers and fairytales.

Jack Addis
Mr. Jack's work caught my eye with the colors used in his work. His work includes some digitally distorted photos. Its kind of a weird vibe but a vibe nonetheless. A vibrant theme of colors always used strategically to distort different types of ways. The fashion in the first photo show the distortion of color and image as to where the face doesn't, but still uses color popping like make up. The second photo is distorted throughout the whole portrait and along with a variety of vibrant colors.

Patrick Darby
Looking into cinemagraphs I came across two things that peak my interest. Food and photography is what Patrick Darby mixes in his world and career. He is a food photographer that uses cinemagraphs to show food and drinks in a contemporary fashion. Just capturing the hot sizzle of a fresh hot steak or a beautiful flow of a drink being pour can almost access your sense of taste with your sense of sight, These photos/ cinema graphs are next level when advertising food making it an art form also.

WEEK NINE
Francis Alÿs: Paradox of Praxis 5
Francis Alys is a Belgian born-Mexico based artists whose works focus on the interdisciplinary space of art, architecture, and social practice. Alÿs kicks a ball of fire in the destroyed urban areas in Mexico City. The Soccer ball on fire remains suspended in the landscape, further politicizing the gesture of a devastated city. The phrase "Sometimes we dream as we live, and sometimes we live as we dream" somewhat offers a critique of how the Mexican government is allowing this community to fall into decay and ultimately leading to its destruction.
Sarah Morris – “AM/PM (Excerpt)” (1999)
Sarah Morris was born in Sevenoaks, Kent, in south-east England, Morris is both a painter and filmmaker, and her work AM/PM examines Las Vegas famous strip on a daily/nightly bases, portraying the disorienting world of corporate hotels and casinos as the concept of distraction as a conspiracy, to allure travelers which manipulates and directs the visitor to be captivated by all of the glitz and glamour as an attempt to keep visitors trapped and never leave the "the sin city".

Mia-Myline Medina_ Liazon Wakest/Dyan Jong _Week #9
Although very little is known about artist, Liazon Wakest, it is apparent that they have racked up nearly 90 million views on the popular GIF sharing app, GIFY. While the content produced varies in style, the majority of Wakest's work is mysterious and dark with a unifying horizontal movement throughout the images. Wakest is placed in the category of "cinematic narratives" which I find suits the content. The images are abstract, yet they tell a story. I'm interested in achieving a narrative for my own work and I find inspiration in the minimalist way in which Wakest creates their work. Simple scenes allow the viewer to focus on the subject matter while it is in motion and I appreciate that.
Los Angeles based image maker and light installation artist, Dyan Jong, enjoys blurring the line between still and motion imagery. His work with light installation crosses over into his image making, such as this series entitled Neon Lights and Glitter in which Jong utilizes light in a way that emphasizes motion as well as the eerie mood of the images. Jong aims to "explore the narrative possibilities of technology" and that is something I hope to investigate more myself. I hope to continue a darker tone in from my previous series into my current work with my use of heavy shadows and and minimal yet purposeful lighting.
