Ramona Falls - I Say Fever

A surreally lovely video - somewhere between fairy tale & Philip Pullman's imagining of the daemon in His Dark Materials - cudos Alex Mayhew!

"I Say Fever" - the first video from the Ramona Falls debut album Intuit. Directed by the ridiculously talented Stefan Nadelman, winner of a 2003 Sundance prize for his 22 minute film 'Terminal Bar', a prolific animator in the commericial field and the mastermind behind the Menomena Evil Bee video.

Ramona Falls is Brent Knopf's first solo venture, but he has an extensive musical resume as part of trio Menomena (an indie rock band from Portland, OR, that's snagged plaudits from such tastemakers as Pitchfork Media and the New York Times.)

Directed and Animated by Stefan Nadelman

Beautiful New York in Miniature, Sort Of - New York - Gawker

Sam O'Hare does to Manhattan what Keith Loutit has been doing to seaside & waterfront scenes in Australia. Gorgeous.

'Here's The Sandpit, a short film/sped-up slideshow/something. An artist named Sam O'Hare took over 35,000 photos over a week last August and strung them together into a day-in-the-life movie, one that appears to be filmed on a miniature set.

It takes a second to realize that the images are actually real. There's some sorta tilt something and Adobe magic at play that you can read about here. Or you can just enjoy all the pretty, speedy New Yorkiness and quietly long for a busy summer day.
