So much to write about, so little time! Part of the reason I'm not reviewing the year's moves in indie finance, rights, piracy or environmentally sustainable filmmaking is the time taken up with a new research project we've been working on exploring changes with cinema in the real flesh and blood world. More on this soon, hopefully, but meantime here is a seasonally appropriate example of one particularly interesting AV development - Mapping - via the ever excellent Create Digital Motion - TreeWaxHD from klipcollective:

inspired by the recent rumba caracas graffiti jam. The night kicks off

graff and music, they will be breaking out some choice graff influenced
music videos, including the awesome mark ronsons version
of just (see below), with the dancing graffiti video.
On top of this, as if to prove they've not been idle all summer, visuals from dave lynch
and 273 curse make use of footage shot during the doodle sessions in
the green room at moorfest, and the full on piece work at the recent
graffiti jam. all chopped up and reassembled to accompany dj airplays
