    This Panda Is Dancing


    A poetic short film by Max Stossel & Sander van Dijk:

    In the Attention Economy, technology and media are designed to maximize our screen-time. But what if they were designed to help us live by our values? www.timewellspent.io

    What if news & media companies were creating content that enriched our lives, vs. catering to our most base instincts for clicks?
    What if social platforms were designed to help us create our ideal social lives, instead of to maximize time-on site and “likes”?
    What if dating apps measured their success in how well they helped us find what we’re looking for instead of in # of swipes?

    As technology gets more and more engaging, and as AI and VR become more and more prevalent in our day-to-day lives we need to take a look at how we’re structuring our future.

    Time Well Spent is a movement to align technology with our humanity: www.timewellspent.io

  • How to make a foundation double crochet (fdc)

    How to make a foundation double crochet (fdc)


    In this DROPS video we show how to make a foundation chain and one row of double crochet simultaneously.

    By using this method it creates a start edge on your work that is more elastic, then what you get when you first ch and then work dc into each ch. It’s also very practical when you don’t know how many stitches you need to start with for your project.

    Make sure to keep a consistent tension so the stitches comes out even on both sides of the row.

    ”We are back and we are ready to blow your mind with this new Meeting Series Interview we realized couple weeks ago. We really don’t want to spoil anything about it but on the other hand it’s also important that people would be able to know what they’re getting themselves into. What it is sure, is the fact that this video will make you smile, happy, nostalgic and with the urgent need to start digging into old stuff from your childhood you’re probably saving up in the attic.

    Bobby Ågren is nowadays the guy behind this eclectic project, he’s running this shop called Ruben & Bobby, a retro-gaming and toys shop located in Jægersborggade 6, Copenhagen, where you can buy, sell or trade old games from the ’70s ’80s ’90s and in the meantime get a haircut; yes you got it right, Ruben & Bobby is also an air salon.

    Watch the video below to get more informations regarding this delightful museum-shop and let Bobby explain to you how he combines the selling and collecting of retro-games with haircuts and the business of an hair salon, the process on the realization of his passions and dreams.”

  • Silent Storms

    Silent Storms


    Silent Storms is my fourth consecutive aurora/astro film. In a way Silent Storms shows how the night skies can be during the three seasons we have darkness here in northern arctic Scandinavia; autumn, winter and spring. It was filmed in Norway, Finland and Sweden, primarily around the Tromsø area, Norway.

    The “storms” referred to, are the geomagnetic storms which takes place in the atmosphere when a strong solar wind hits earth, often followed by a CME. When a geomagnetic storms takes place, it can last for days, with several substorms causing auroras to appear. Although there has been reports of audible auroras, this has yet to be proven scientifically.

    Shooting through these different seasons raises different challenges, and opportunities. Late august/early september you are still battling against the sun, with the skies appearing very bluish. When the sun finally is low enough beneath the horizon, and there is still no snow, you have pitch black darkness, and it is difficult to use and lit foregrounds properly, unless the moon is present. At this period, I find using silhouettes exciting. When winter has settled you have the most beautiful period, with snow coverd trees, icy reflective grounds, partially frozen rivers etc. In March/April when spring arrives, sun is coming back, causing bluish skies again, but you also get beautiful colors from the sun in the horizon to combine with auroras, if lucky.

    Shooting milky ways/startrails this far in the northern hemisphere is challenging as well. First because of the obvious that we cannot see the strongest parts of the milky way up here, but also because there always seem to be som auroras “interfering” when you’re planning to shoot an astro shot, even if activity is reported to be low.

    The film is made primarly of stills, two sequences are realtime video (03:17 and 03:38). The still sequences has been slowed down in post to a speed I feel is representative for a fast to to normal authentic moving aurora, although still to a speed/length which allows fitting the sequences within the timeframe of such a short video.

    Some sequences was added panning to using motion control and rails from Dynamic Perception.

    This video is in HD video 720p, but the film is available in full HD 1080p, and 4K/UHD, please contact for licensing inquiries.

    Shot using Canon DSLRs + lenses. The realtime sequences was shot in RAW 14bit video using Magic Lantern Firmware on the 5D Mark III.

    Based on Exodus 12:
    21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
    22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
    23 For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
    24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
    25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the Lord will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
    26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
    27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
    28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
    29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
    30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

    LYRICS by David King, aka Duke of Uke:

    DEATH: Falling stars you wished upon
    are cinders now and now they’re gone
    their residue festoons my fetid field.
    Unfeeling husks of lovers past
    the shells are all that ever last
    I’ve taken everything that they concealed.
    Whoever told you life was fair?
    Look around you, everywhere
    the cruelty of nature is displayed!
    Why the scorn?
    Why the surprise?
    Everything that’s born must die
    and it isn’t I who made the world that way.

    What wicked little twist of fate
    placed you here upon my plate
    Here, where no one hears your cries?
    Where was your god to steer you through
    Perhaps your god’s forsaken you
    Otherwise why lead you here to die?

    BA (spirit of the dead): I, I know the way how
    I’ll melt away now
    I know the way.
    I’m feeling bliss now
    Dissolved to mist how
    strangely I go
    away
    Now I finally know

    DEATH: It’s merely moments now,
    moments now until
    your feeble flesh bends to my will
    and it will
    so rest your weary head.
    There’ll be no pain,
    no pain at all
    as everything you are dissolves
    Your fate resolved
    upon my silky thread.

    BA: I, I know the way how
    I’ll melt away now
    I know the way.
    I’m feeling bliss now
    Dissolved to mist how
    strangely I go
    away
    Now I finally know
    (repeat)
