A video about lamps / light bulbs with the e27 fitting (a.k.a. Edison Screw). Incandescent lamps with carbon filament, Tungsten, Halogen, Fluorescent, LED, LED filament, Smart lamps, RGBW LED, and other novelty lamps like blacklight, flicker flame and flowers… I am aware that there are many more interesting and rare lamps, including ones that I don’t even know about yet, but that would have delayed this video with at least a year… Perhaps a part two, some day?…

Nanoscapes: Making the invisible, visible!
Images of butterfly wings at the microscopic scale are stunning, and at the nanoscopic scale they become otherworldly. Shot with light and electron microscopes at magnifications up to 50,000x, Nanoscapes reveals the elaborate topography of butterfly wings, which have produced a wealth of data on the surprisingly little known story of structural coloration.

The idea of this experimental macro video was born from lack of traveling due to certain events in 2020 and desire to showcase the capability of the awesome Pocket 2 camera as not only a great blogging device, a good b-roll camera, or super gimbal for travel, architecture, etc short films, but also an amazingly capable machine for creative experiment right at your home.

We use different inks, alcohol, soaps, and other different mixture of household chemicals for creating liquid art of flow and movements.

It was a challenging but really fun project as we have never shot macro with inks before nor have we done it with Pocket 2 (I believe this type of video with ink is the first to be shot on this device). It took us 3 weeks of pure experiments, try and error, to get the right effect with inks and chemicals.
And 1.5 weeks of shooting after that, using DJI Pocket 2 camera with and without a macro lens to gather more than 7 hours of footage (690 GB of clips).
The post-production alone took 1.5 weeks for the entire Origin short film.
An interesting fact is that only about 1.6% of all shot clips went into the film.

Using alcohol inks, pigments, sparklers and a laboratory agitator, I wanted to imagine a nuclear explosion from an artistic point of view.
Strongly inspired by the special effects of the Oppenheimer film, Trinity is a code name. It represents the first nuclear test by the United States armed forces on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project.

We filmed 90% of the sequences in my kitchen. Just fire was filmed in the studio with a Highspeed camera.

Exploration of a macro cosmos is a theme for this short film. The ink and glitter make the compositions like the outer space and I love to dive into that. I started that journey in my previous film called Velocity (Velocity 4K HDR) and continue the journey in this one. I implemented new techniques and new materials including the magnets and different liquids and inks.

A total of 12 hours of footage was captured for this film and only less than 1% of best shoots were used in edit.

Extreme Macro Time Lapse Video of Crystallization of Vitamin C and Beta Analin (amino acid) shows incredible colours and structures. By changing the mixture and temperature new formations will appears every time. I took several hundreds of videos and each became a unique piece of art.

Ice is a beautiful element I love to work with in my video projects. I wanted to feature the ice melting aspect in timelapse process to illustrate the phenomen of global warming. Melting ice is beautiful and symbolize spring, but it can also symbolize problematic aspect of our climate.

„TURBULENCE is an 8K HDR Experience video which was entirely shot in a fishtank with metallic paint and inks. All effects were created in camera. I used a custom micro dropping mechanism es well as 4 axis motion control to capture these images on the macro scale. I was experimenting with very thin needles to release tiny drops into the water. On this level of 5x life-size magnification, one can see the single pigment grains travelling through the water and reflecting the light. I observed many forms of turbulences and the illusion of anti-gravity in the fishtank when the feather light pigments changed direction and started to flow from bottom to top. It was a joy to see this and I hope you like it as much as I do.“

A SENSE OF SCALE is a reminiscense to the famous „Sense of Scale“ documentary by Berton Pierce form 2011. As the documentary, my experimental short film is all about details and the beauty of practical effects. I want to emphasize the meaning of handmade visuals and the effort it takes to stage sceneries on a small scale. I captured very tiny areas of paint flowing on a piece of paper while zooming in the closest possible with a custom lens setup. All shots are taken with my RED DSMC2 in 8K and several macro lenses. It took me around 1 year to finish this piece. Color graded and optimized for HDR devices.

„THE RICE OF C“ is an experimental dreamlike video rocking us smoothly through circular moves.
The visual compositions have been created out of paint, oil and soap liquid.

Smoke is unburned particles of carbon released when the hydrocarbon chain of candle wax breaks down. When the candle is alight, most of the carbon gets burned to carbon dioxide, but some escapes. If you hold a plate above a candle flame, you’ll see the carbon accumulate as a sooty smear.

When the flame goes out, the glowing wick has enough heat left to break up the wax molecules for a while, but not enough to burn the carbon, so you get a trail of smoke until it cools. I captured this smoke by using a extrem high shutter speed and slow motion.

On average I spend ~10 hours for 1 second of final content for Youtube.
This is a 7 minutes outtake collection from the video ‘360 Slow Motion’.
Hope you enjoy it!

Have you ever asked yourself what is going on when using a lighter? Let’s go macro and see the process in detail with extreme slow motion. Filmed with Photron Fastcam at 20.000 images per second.
