This cute short, directed by Dean Fleischer-Camp is a classic example of what can be done when a simple concept is given the right polish. Extreme close-ups are made to look epic in scale with Marcel as the focus. Here's a little piece of awesome to spice up your day!

100 Movie Icons
I came across these animated icons and had fun browsing all the different characters and movie icons. I was amazed that there were only a few I didn't recognize - thank you film history. I thought I'd pass on the challenge to you. How many movie icons/characters do you recognize? Click the image to enlarge, and for a hint at who the character might be the list of movies represented (in chronological order) is listed below.

A Decade From Ontario
In that dream state that seems to befall the best of us when referring to the passing of time, here I am ten years later. On a summer vacation in August 2000 I was off to southern Ontario with my family to explore Toronto, Ottawa, and Niagara Falls for the first time. It was marked by the purchase of my brand new D8 camcorder (digital!) just a few weeks before that gave me that opportunity to shoot in a way I never had before.
My reverence for this trip comes largely from the edits I managed to create on the fly - something that is far more complicated than it sounds. At 16 I had no computer of my own, no video editing software, and I managed to pull off three separate edits synced to music (while touring!) entirely in-camera.
The project was unnecessarily complicated in retrospect, but 10 years later I'm still impressed by the exercise I put myself through. Read the complete post for my Ontario Postcards here to fully understand what I had going on - and be sure to check out the playlist of finished postcards, now a decade old, below.
