Caine’s Arcade is a touching short film that centers around the creative and industrious 9-year-old Caine Monroy, who built an elaborate cardboard arcade during the summer at his dad’s auto parts store. The film by Nirvan let’s us in on the best day of Caine’s life … so far.

About a year-and-a-half ago we featured L.A. photographer Ian Flanigan’s lifestyle photos and a cool stop-motion video of a road trip up the California Coast with his girl. He’s done it again this year, combining over 4,500 photos from a trip to New York to celebrate his Lady’s birthday and Valentine’s day. The video is set to “World News” by Local Natives. Enjoy!

The passionate photographer Ian Ruhter has given up his normal life in L.A. to create amazing wet plate images around the country in his converted Van/Camera/Darkroom. Silver and Light is shows some highs and lows of his ongoing journey making one-of-a-kind images, some of which can cost as much as $500 a piece just to produce . Ian and his crew are traveling the country looking for interesting people and places to shoot, so check out there facebook and maybe join in on the fun.

Fashion photographer and filmmaker Jacob Sutton braved three dark nights of -25C temperatures with his Red Epic camera to capture pro snowboarder William Hughes light up the slopes of south eastern France in an L.E.D. suit made by John Spatcher. One of the coolest things about this video is the fact that Hughes is the only light source painting the scene with his weaves and turns… beautiful.

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).
