‘oops’ and ‘Life Proof’ by Chris Beckman
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:

Life Proof from Chris Beckman on Vimeo.
Out of the two ‘Life Proof’ is definitely my favourite.
God’s Eye View
I just found this montage of various films which use the God’s Eye View or omniscient point of view. The single piece of music and consistent camera angle connects the shots and makes it feel like they’re all from the same film. It seems like death and morality are the biggest recurring themes for this POV.
“This is a montage of straight-down shots used in various films.
This type of shot is commonly referred to as a “God’s Eye View” angle. The camera lens is perpendicular to the subject without any POV reference, which gives the viewer an omniscient viewpoint of the character and the surrounding space.
The video is cut to the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s “Down Boy” from the “Is Is” album.”
