Film Friday - Glimmer of Hope

Hi everyone,

I thought I would share with you all this beautiful animation which I found called 'Lueur d' espoir' which translates as "Glimmer of Hope" for my Film Friday this week. The animation is by artist Damien Tran 

Hope you have all had a fantastic week so far and enjoy your weekend!

Film Friday - Same Hill, Different Day by Paul Octavious

Today I wanted to share with you all this beautiful short film by Paul Octavious, a photographer and designer who is based in Chicago.

The concept for this film is simple (the best things always are) and it is beautifully shot and relaxing to watch so why not take a minute and a half out of your day to watch this beautiful short film.

Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Five things: Five cool art vines that I am loving this week

Hey everyone,

A little while ago I posted a blog post on Vines (you can view it here if you haven't already). This week I have been watching lots of the art vines which have been uploaded. There are some amazingly creative vines that have been shared and I really enjoyed watching. I thought today I would share with you all some of my favourites.

Enjoy.....

1) The more you watch it, the more beautiful this gets. This piece is called 'Water Cycle' by Xaviera Lopez



2) This video is even better with the sound turned on. I love the dancing hot dogs! By Alicia Herber




3) Love the retro style colours in this one by Sammy Slabbinck


4) 'The one who things with chaos thinks big' by Hampus Hagman


5) *Some flashing light in this one*


Hope you enjoyed this post

Thanks for reading

5 vines which are making me smile this week...

Hello everyone,

Today I wanted to share with you all some vines which are making me smile this week.

To be honest with you all, I don't often watch vines. They sometimes come up on my Twitter feed and I will sometimes be intrigued and watch one but I don't consciously look for vines to watch. My sister however is totally addicted to watching vines and when she visited me she kept showing me different ones she had been watching or I would find her manically laughing at the computer screen so I started watching more vines this week and now I am a complete convert and an also addicted!

Here are some of the vines which are making me smile this week. 

The videos are a few seconds long and will play without sound so if you want sound on you will need to click on the lower right hand corner of each video (they are much better with sound on!!) Click again on the video to stop it playing on loop.

#1 - Rob and Pete

Rob from the Youtube video, Beach Please, which I posted up on my blog a few weeks ago (You can view it here if you haven't already) posted this vine a few days ago which made me laugh!

#2 Adorable Dashund

Animals doing silly things are always a winner for me especially when they look this adorable whilst doing it!!

#3 Death from the Shadows

So admittedly I thought that vines were only really for short funny films or clips of animals being silly (which of course I love and can't stop watching!!) but I also found lots of really cool art vines including this one called 'Death from the Shadows'

#4 - Old NASA footage

I love watching science video (super geeky I know!) and space has always fascinated me so I love this vintage clip from NASA.

50 years ago Mariner4 flew by Mars and snapped the first close-up photographs of another planet. Amazing to see how much technology has changed with the recent photographs we have been seeing in the news of Mars

#5 Punch Card

Rather random but also rather hypnotic, the perfect vine?!

Hope you enjoying watching
