If You Have Never Wanted to Visit Moscow, You Will After You Watch This

This is Moscow by drone and done in such a way that this city has probably never looked better.  Mixing the old and the new, Timelab’s footage makes the city look truly magnificent.  I particularly liked the shots of the statues way up high, the features on their faces up close.  Plus the whole thing seems to have been filmed at the golden hour, imbuing the city with an iridescent beauty.  The film was shot using the DJ Inspire 2.

Moscow as the sun goes down is something to behold but like any other city in the world, when the stars come out so do those who want to have a great time. Alex Soloviev captures the Russian capital beautifully in this short film, Moscow Moves.  There is a lot to see in this grand old city, the very old; yet there is also a vibrancy to the youth culture which puts Moscow on a par with any other capital.

Road to Victory: Projection Mapping the Great Patriotic War

Sila Sveta, specialists in leading-edge 3D Projection Mapping, 3D stage designs, multimedia shows were asked last year to create a permanent installation in The Museum of Great Patriotic War in Moscow. This projection mapping show is dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory and covers all the major milestones of the war. This behind the scene glimpse shows the huge amount of work and creativity that went in to the project.

If You Have Never Wanted to Visit Moscow, You Will After Watching This

Moscow in the summertime has never looked so good.  Timelapse and commercial maker Alexander Spirin takes us on a breathless ride through the capital of Russia taking in the sites such as Saint Basil's Cathedral, Novodevichy Convent and of course Red Square - as well as many other sights.  Seamlessly mixing time-lapse and hyperlapse, this is certainly a ride to remember.

Panacea

This is a collaboration between FIRMA, one of the one of the leading commercial design teams in Russia and Dmitry Malikov, the Russian composer, and singer whose recent successes include Pianomania, a mixture of Russian classical music and ethnic culture in a modern adaptation including instrumental music, dance shows and colorful performances. This combines his piano works with contemporary dance.

You also get to see Malikov riding by on a bike here (with it has to be said a rather quizzical look on his face) as a team of dancers interpret his music. Your own interpretation is, of course, up to you. I love the movements of the dancers here – the juxtaposition between the men and the women. It could represent how the world might turn if there were only women or, naturally the flip side – only men.  Or perhaps not – see for yourself and decide! Either way, it's very, very cool.

Plasticine. Love. Moscow.

If you haven’t done this sort of thing – or felt like doing this – then consider yourself lucky! This is the story of the past, present and future of Mr Plasticine. Poor thing, he has broken up with Ms Plasticine and now spends his days moping around on Facebook looking at pictures of the two of them when they were together.  To make matters worse he then goes and visits the places where they had fun together around their home city of Moscow.

This is a deceptively simple looking piece of stop motion animation by Teeter-totter-tam Animation.  The outdoor shots of Moscow must have been incredibly difficult to do, both because of the people passing by and, of course, that which waits for no one, the time.  Teeter-totter-tam is a creative union, founded by Constantine Konovalov and Irina Neustroeva in Moscow, Russia. They make stop-motion animation and videoart for authors and various commercial projects.Of course, they have a Facebook page too!
