Led It Up attending NFF

Hi there folks!

Long time no news. After Festival Mundial we said goodbye to the MediaLab and enjoyed a nice holiday. Although the MediaLab is over for us, Led It Up lives on! Our presence at Mundial has generated interest in our interactive installation from various organisations. We have decided to continue the project for as long as we can.

So first great news: we’re going to the Netherlands Film Festival (NFF)! This annual festival takes place in Utrecht where this year we will be entertaining the public on Neude. The database that we use will consist of only film, so no more Open Images. This means the game will be slightly different. The upcoming weeks we’ll be working hard to put together a neat experience for all you film lovers. It’s a great new challenge for us to adapt our game to a new setting, and to optimalise our installation.

There might be some other festivals we’ll be attending in the near future so keep an eye on our blog / facebook / twitter to find out what’s next. Find us at Neude from 21 – 30 September 2011.

Keep you posted!

Cinemagraphs, an animated reality

By martaburugorri, March 11, 2014

In this post I want come back to Cinemagraphs and add some more thoughts about this visual phenomenon located halfway between photography, video and animation. Although Cinemagraphs might seem like a very novel visual case they actually have a lot in common with many of the characteristics of early cinema and animation; they both have […]
