I just came across these videos on Vimeo and felt like sharing.
Both videos are made entirely from footage of people dropping their cameras. ‘oops’ made the official selection for Sundance last year (2011), and Motorola commissioned Chris to make ‘Life Proof’ after seeing it.
The editing and sound transitions are seamless in both videos, and the dream-like, time warp feeling is something I’m wanting to explore in my own work. My [S&S] Japan ’09/’10 video is probably the closest I’ve come to emulating this feeling, but it’s got nothing on these:
oops from Chris Beckman on Vimeo.
Life Proof from Chris Beckman on Vimeo.
Out of the two ‘Life Proof’ is definitely my favourite.
