Photographer David HJ. Lindberg shows us that we don’t need a $100,000 camera to get some pretty great slow-motion results. We just need say a Canon 550D T2i($760) shooting at 60fps and a little plug-in called Twixtor($300).

Director Tom Jenkins of Theory films has made a inspiring and moving stop motion short film featuring a desk toy that wants to explore the Pacific Coast the only way he can. All the footage was shot on a 5d MkII and screens were animated, not replaced.

You never know what you’ll run into and maybe you’ll be one of the few to catch something extraordinary on film. Friends Liberty Smith and Sophie Windsor Clive had such a moment while canoeing the River Shannon and found themselves surrounded by one of nature’s most beautiful phenomenons; a murmuration of starlings.

Here’s a cool and moving glimpse into photographer Andrew Clancy’s time in New York, mostly shot on his 7D or S95. The song is great too, ‘We Don’t Eat” by his fellow Irishman James Vincent McMorrow.

Here’s an awesome world-spining stop-motion animation by Constantine Konovalov and Irena Neustroeva with music and sound design by Fab Martini.

Lomography finally puts their photos on the move with their new retro-inspired crank-driven LomoKino-Super 35 Movie Maker camera. By using any of your favorite 35mm films you can create roughly 45 seconds of footage with 144 or so little images (24mm x 8.5mm). Then all you LomoMovie makers need to do is load it up into their new LomoKinoScope, point it at a light source and enjoy the fruits of your directorial labor. Lomography is also allowing people to upload and share their movies online.

Here’s one of the first released silent short films using the LomoKino, Ghost of the Beach by Satomi Sugiyama.

What do you get when you take 3 guys, 44 days of travel through 11 countries, on 18 flights covering over 38,000 miles? You get 3 awesome short films by independent Melbourne filmmaker Rick Mereki and friends. The trip of a lifetime was actually commissioned by STA Australia and resulted in 3 ambitious concepts: Move, Eat, Learn that were accompanied by the wonderful music of Kelsey James. Be Inspired!

The mystery and marvel of analogue photography may have been lost to the newest and mostly silent digital cameras of today. Thanks to Lv Sisi and the crew at Ftjelly we have their mesmerizing stop motion film Digital Analogue to remind us. They worked tirelessly, pairing hundreds of analogue photography sounds with over 6,000 still photos of vintage cameras to create this award-winning short. Enjoy!
