Awesome Motion

This mind bending experimental short film from Masaki Mizuno and Khaki combines live-action footage, visual effects, and generative AI to place dancer Toyotaka and his doppelgangers in the midst of a morphing city. The way the buildings and environments move, bend, and flex is like Christopher Nolan’s Inception on steroids.

In this short video from Posy, he shows off a neat visual effect that takes ordinary footage and highlights solely the parts that move. The resulting footage is artful and reveals aspects of each scene that might otherwise be overlooked. Best of all, Posy shows us how easy it is to replicate the effect yourself.

As part of his home workstation revamp, Ideal Idea wanted a computer case like no other. The idea? Build a PC that doubles as a kinetic sculpture. He made the case from laser-cut wood panels and created two interchangeable faces. An Arduino and a stepper motor control the mechanisms. The ripple design with the hexagons is fantastic.
