Koyaanisqatsi

An art-house circuit sensation, this feature-length documentary is visually arresting and possesses a clear, pro-environmental stance. Koyaanisqatsi is composed of nature imagery, manipulated in slow motion, double exposure or time lapse, juxtaposed with footage of humans’ devastating environmental impact on the planet. The message of director Godfrey Reggio is clear: humans are destroying the planet, and all of human progress is pointlessly foolish.

Food Fight

An abridged history of American-centric warfare, from WWII to present day, told through the foods of the countries in conflict.For a breakdown of the actual battles portrayed in the film, visit:http://www.touristpictures.com/foodfight/index.htmFor the official cheat sheet (breakdown of the foodstuffs), visit:http://www.touristpictures.com/foodfight/cheat.htmNow, to answer some FAQs…- The food in this film was consumed either by myself or my dog after shooting. None of the cast went to waste.- The software used was photoshop and after effects.- The film took me 3 months to do.- Although it seems like stop motion, most of it was stop motion created within After effects, using keyframe animation. I am basically moving the food around within the the program, frame by frame, which is the same as traditional stop motion, only it’s digital.
