"pas de deux" by norm mclaren (1967)

this video was the first time that multiple exposure time-lapse animation was seen in film. although pretty mundane in todays world, this was a pretty revolutionary technique at the time. you could do this in like 2 minutes nowadays, but when this short was made, each exposure had to be laid down manually, one on top of the other, on top of the other, etc.,etc., to acheive the desired results. first time i saw this, the sound was muted and sades "cherish the day" was the soundtrack. it touched me. right here.

the sustainable dance club project

frickin awesome! harnessing the energy of the dancefloor-
"The Sustainable Dance Club incorporates innovations in the field of sustainable design and applied techniques with social responsibilities in attractive club surroundings. The electricity generating dance floor will generate electricity from the movements of dancing people. This human powered floor is now being developed in cooperation with the Technical University in Delft and will most likely be the projects’ piece de la rĂ©sistance."
"You only have to imagine the amount of energy, warmth and humidity that a club crowd produces on such an evening to see the great potential."
