Mongolia from the sky, shot during a trip across the country to Khövsgöl Nuur. Traveling through cities like Erdenet, Khutag Undur, and Murun, the rich and vast landscapes were best captured from the air. More than 2 million years old Khövsgöl Nuur is one of seventeen ancient lakes in the world and it is the second largest fresh water resource. The generosity and kindness of the Mongolian people will not soon be forgotten, I can not wait to visit again.

I spent two months living in Joshua Tree following artist Tom Jean Webb as he prepared for his solo show 'Tomorrow's Flames Are Already Burning' at the DEN Gallery in Austin, Texas in early 2015. Influenced from the surrounding landscape, this film represents some of the inspiration behind his exhibition.

tomjeanwebb.com/

Director: Dan Sadgrove
Sound: Morgan Johnson at Barking Owl Sound
Color: Houmam Abdullah at Electric Theatre
Narration: Amber Webber from Black Mountain / Lightning Dust.

Special thanks to Dan & Kate O'Connell for letting me use their camera and allowing us stay at their house in Joshua Tree for a few hot wintry desert months, Heather Williamson for her help and the generous time of everyone involved in creating this.

--
I asked the coyote if he was afraid
On the sun baked highway run
His creeping shadow grew
And darkened the falling sun

Who lit the flame
Asks the man each night
That the wind couldnt put out
When the sun burned its last light

Amongst the cactus trees
Time struggles in the sand
With no soil for seeds
But the snakes rattling hand

Meet me in the highway
Under the silver moon
You'll hear the trembling bones
Of the dead mans croon

And the ground shakes and howls
As the sun comes back around
The coyote lies quick still
As his shadow shrinks back down

Now he walks alone
And wanders if he was afraid
Towards the silent warmth of light
Amongst the desert decay

It takes a visionary to foresee that a sunbeam could carry sound. It takes incredible minds and pioneering foresight to make real, the unimaginable.

Journey around the globe through time and space to hear from the scientists who transform theories into technologies, the people that harnessed light to shape our modern world and those who are reforming it for an imagined future.

About the Future Impossible series:

We spend time with Nobel Laureates, semi-retired German eccentrics and impassioned geeks who take us deep into the interiors of Bell Labs. They reveal the journeys they’re on to solve some of the hardest challenges we’ve probably never even thought of. Enlightening us as to who Claude Shannon is, guiding us through our wireless world and explaining how copper was saved from the scrapheap to give birth to the Internet.

Meet the characters who commit their lives to grappling with messy, chaotic problems and hopeless challenges. The people who then emerge with a thought, an equation, or perhaps an invention that changes everything, even if we don’t know it.

The film highlights a way to address some of the most pressing environmental and health crises facing the island of Kauai - and of island Earth. That may sound like an outstanding claim, but as ʻĀINA vividly illustrates, such is the power of agriculture and food for people and the planet.

I'm thrilled to show you my latest timelapse film, concentrating mainly on bulb ramping shots.

During sunrise and sunset the sky is painted in the most beautiful colors. I always was fascinated by that spectacle.
Just sitting there in awe, watching nature performing it's art in so many facets is so thrilling and never gets boring.

When being out there shooting that wonderful show of light and color I feel very touched and blessed to able to stop and calm down for the moment and just being a witness to the beauty that surrounds us.

I hope to bring some of the amazement I feel to you.

In our terrestrial view of things, the speed of light seems incredibly fast. But as soon as you view it against the vast distances of the universe, it's unfortunately very slow. This animation illustrates, in realtime, the journey of a photon of light emitted from the surface of the sun and traveling across a portion of the solar system, from a human perspective.

I've taken liberties with certain things like the alignment of planets and asteroids, as well as ignoring the laws of relativity concerning what a photon actually "sees" or how time is experienced at the speed of light, but overall I've kept the size and distances of all the objects as accurate as possible. I also decided to end the animation just past Jupiter as I wanted to keep the running length below an hour.

I recently received the awesome Anamorphic Lens from moondoglabs.com and so took it on a short journey.

The Anamorphic lens allows you to increase your image size 1.33x to 2554x1080 and the Filmic Pro 2 app easily allows you to de-squeeze it as you record. I think the result is amazing and it's a must have for any film maker with an iPhone.

A wildfire started a yesterday in the hills by Lake Berryessa. I was lucky enough to live close and see the fire starting early. I quickly grabbed my camera gear and ran to go shoot some time lapses of the massive fire. I drove alls round Yolo county and parts of Winters to capture this footage.

“Enter Pyongyang” is another stunning collaboration between city-­branding pioneer JT Singh and flow-motion videographer Rob Whitworth. Blending time-lapse photography, acceleration and slow motion, HD and digital animation, they have produced a cutting‐edge panorama of a city hardly known, but one emerging on the visitor’s landscape as North Korea’s opening unfolds.

North Korea was the last country seemingly immune to change—but no longer. Recent years have witnessed mobile phone penetration, a surge in tourists, and even a marathon. Numerous special economic zones have been launched in cooperation with China, Russia, and South Korea, with railways planned linking all countries in the region. “Enter Pyongyang” captures not just the city, but this dynamism and sense of potential.

This video is the single most significant multi-­media contribution to transcending clichés about North Korea as a society defined by reclusiveness and destitution. To travel there is to witness a proud civilization, though one caught in a Cold War time-warp. Korean cultural traditions are meticulously preserved and displayed in authentic richness. Anyone who has witnessed the awe-inspiring Mass Games knows that, with great sacrifice, North Koreans can pull off a performance unparalleled in its precision.

“Enter Pyongyang” captures the reality of North Korean citizens as earnest and humane, not automatons. The infamous traffic ladies and subway guards stand stiff and sentinel—but today they share a smile too. The more North Koreans one meets, the more one sees an organic society that wants to be a normal country. If you travel there not to judge but to appreciate, you will come away with a better understanding of how challenging national transformation can be.

"Enter Pyongyang" is above all an invitation to explore. Few places in the world have been as hermetically sealed as North Korea, but Koryo Tours has made it possible not just to see North Korea but to engage with it in ways that were impossible until very recently. This is a window of opportunity not to be missed. If Pyongyang is no longer off limits, no place is.

--Foreword by Dr. Parag Khanna, Director, Hybrid Reality

Koryo Group: The Koryo team brought a wealth of valuable knowledge and expertise to this project. Thanks to their extensive experience in running tourism and cultural engagement projects in North Korea since 1993, we were able to get unprecedented access in Pyongyang. We are thankful to the Koryo team and their Korean partners for an unforgettable experience.

FAQs

-How were you guys allowed to film in Pyongyang?

This project was produced in conjunction with Koryo Tours, the leading North Korea travel specialist. Co-producer Vicky Mohieddeen of Koryo Tours was with us throughout the shoot.

-Were there restrictions on what was allowed to be filmed?

We were closely assisted by two guides from the National Tourism Administration, who helped us gain special access to locations and made sure that we followed all the rules. As is standard for all foreign visitors to the country, we were not allowed to shoot any construction sites, undeveloped locations or military personnel. Other than that we were given relatively free reign.

-Isn’t this all fake? You don’t see the real North Korea.

The average visitor to Pyongyang is likely to be surprised by the scenes they encounter and are especially surprised about how clean and orderly the city actually is. Indeed, people living in Pyongyang and other major cities enjoy a higher quality of life than those in other parts of the county.

-Are people allowed to travel to North Korea?

Yes, despite what the majority of people think, it is possible to visit North Korea as a tourist. North Korea does not release official data on the number of Western tourists it receives, but estimates range from 4,000 to 6,000 per year. Most of the foreign tourists are from Mainland China, estimated in the tens of thousands annually.

-Were you paid to make this film?

We volunteered for this project with no pay at all. All other travel expenses for the 6 day trip were covered by Koryo Tours.

-Does this film support the DPRK government?

"Enter Pyongyang" is an observational film. At no point did Koryo Tours or we have to pretend to be supporters of the DPRK Government or their philosophy in order to be granted permission to shoot this film. Amazingly, we were given complete editorial control in the making of this piece.
