Mayeul Akpovi - Paris in Motion

When you here Slowmotion timelapse & Stopmotion Photography you should immediately think of Mayeul Akpovi, a young computer scientist from France. He studied four long years in Paris and realised that he hasn´t took one picture of this beautiful city. He bought his Canon 5D Mark II&IIIcamera and started taking pictures of Paris. But he didn´t just take boring pictures like we would have done, he took them with a special technique and put them all together so that in the end this breathtaking slowmotion video came out. It took him about 14 days to take all the pictures and 5 days to edit them together. He is already planned to do project in Shanghai and California. The funny thing is that he not a photographer from his profession and he didn´t have any idea how huge this will be. This is what I call destiny.

Great artist and I am sure we will hear more from him in the future.

Wenn ihr Slowmotion Timelapse & Stopmotion Fotografie hört sollte ihr sofort an Mayeul Akpovi denken, ein junger Informatiker aus Frankreich. Er studierte vier lange Jahre in Paris und ein Jahr nach seinem Studium viel ihm auf das er kein einziges Foto von dieser wunderschönen Stadt gemacht hatte. Er ging los und kaufte sich seine erste Canon 5D Mark II&III Kamera und fing an Paris zu fotografieren. Jedoch hat er nicht einfach drauf los geschossen so wie wir es gemacht hätten. Er benutzte eine spezielle Technik und fotografierte ein Objekt mehrere Male und bearbeitete sie alle zusammen so das am Ende dieses atemberaubende Slowmotion Video heraus kam. Es hat ihn ganze 14 Tage gedauert um alles zu fotografieren und nochmal 5 Tage um die Bilder zusammen zu schneiden. Es wird bereits geplant das er in Shanhai und Californien an Projekt mitarbeiten soll. Das witzige an dieser Geschichte ist, das er kein Fotograf von Beruf ist und keine Ahnung hatte wie groß dieses Projekt werden würde. Das nenn ich Schicksal.

Ich bin mir sicher das wir von diesem großartigen Künstler mehr in Zukunft hören werden.

DANCING = ART

These guys are rockin´ the he*l out of Wale´s song called BAIT.

I really like the dance videos of Lyle Beniga and his crew but this one caught my eyes. They really tried to make a little story out of it. You can definitely see that they took a lot of time and energy to do this.

Thumbs up!

STUDIO TIME

OFFICIAL VIDEO

AMBER ROSE - FAME

For those who haven´t heard that Amber Rose is planning to do music, it´s offical now. Ahhm, I´m not really sure what to say about this. She´s one of my favorites but I can´t imagine her dancing and jumping around as a singer on stage. And if you ever heared her talking on interviews, her voice sounds really different in her song. I didn´t even recognise her. I don´t know about the song but maybe it will be the next summer hit. We´ll see. Wondering if there´s going to be a colloboration with Kanye?!?

Good luck to Amber.

here the song

Baby Boy you stay on my mind

I think this video is now more than five years old. I´ve been to that concert in Berlin and that performance is still my favorite. I like that she mixed the arabian sound with some reggae. By the way, her dancers put her right shoe on the left food and the left shoe on her right food. She had to dance like this till the end of that performance.

Come down selectaah

GLOW IN THE DARK 121211

GLOW IN THE DARK was the theme of the night on Monday. Just the perfect theme for me! Beeing allowed to run around with crazy glowing colors all over. It was my last Monday at the legendary club Cirque du soir in London this year. I just arrived back home in Germany and will stay for three weeks to see my family and friends I haven´t seen the last three months. See you in 2012 London!

WALE - Ambitious Grils

Shout out to all my ambitious girls. This is a real smooth track from Wale.

I’m in love with your business
and your productivity is the reason I intrest, ambitious girl
see, I like the person that you are,
but I’m in love with the person that you have potential to be
and all your dreams sharing with me
and your secrets baring with me
and the flaws, you aint even got to mention to me,
ambitious girl, you just wanna win, and you’d rather chase your dreams,
then to try to chase these men
that try to chase these skirts
that try to chase these shots with flavors that not even as sweet as her
my ambitious girl, I wont forget you,
I just reflect on how I aint met you, yet boo
you somewhere, getting your life in order
so for the time being, i hope this (overscribe) might support her
support her, or work her, she worth it.

Frank Ocean - Sucker for love

Just continue to be my sunshine

Let´s go back to the late 90´s and try to remember one of his biggest songs. I´m still obsessed with the beat and the lyrics. He is definitely one of my favorite rappers alive! Even 14 years later! I was nine years old when the song came out, but still remember it like it was yesterday!

>If I needed would you, give me your kidneys?
(Uha fo' sho')
>Catch a case you catch it with me?
(Mmm, fo' sho')
>Pawn your jewlery to come get me?
(You better know)
>Catch me with a chick, forgive me?
(Uhh, now that, I don't know!)

...Any idea who it could be? Let´s see Mr. Hova himself rock it in 1997 with Foxy Brown...

Night Out - finest hip hop and r&b music in town

It´s kind of funny that I got used to go out during the week rather than at the weekend, since I moved to London. I guess the clock is ticking here the other way round. I had to wake up early the next day but still I couldn´t miss a night full of hip hop and r&b music. I listen to almost every kind of music, but r&b and hip hop is the music I grew up with.

Is anybody here who remembers this absolutley fantastic song, which was released back in 1992?! I am a lover for 90´s music.  Listen and enjoy!
