Well done project by Rodenbros. Juggling and visual effects mixed together with a new technique where they have used 4 locations and 13 different clothes. Thanks guys, CRAZY video and editing!

As a counterpoint to Figure, the Graphic Dance video which we posted last week, here is Russian Ballet Dancer Anastasia Volochkova dancing to Adiemus, with digital post-processing to add trails.
The 1st video of the Experimental Multimedia Unit “*Asterisk” – a short dance video that simply expressed relation between music, dance and visual image.
*Asterisk’s members are MEISAI (Dance), MANUKE (Direction) and Kariu Kenji (Sound).
WoW. Amazing. This is the best representation I have seen of the patterns, lines and shapes formed by movement in Juggling, Dance and Manipulation. We’re excited to see more work from this collaboration.
Thanks to Remi for the link.

Waiting for Pich to come and comment about “Graphic Juggling”.
Literally cannot believe my EYES. If this film is CGI I don’t care cos it does make me strangely happy.
Time to search ebay for “Giant Electromagnet.”
This video is called: F5 2011 RE:PLAY Film Festival: Inductance – Apparently it was created for some festival with a theme of happy.
Happy it is. All those exclamation marks are entirely necessary.
The kinect is a Microsoft camera that can sense motion in 3 dimensions.
Jean-Christophe Naour, a French Interaction Designer based in Seoul (South-Korea), has developed this awesome realtime visualisation software Kinect Graffiti™, which is crying out to be integrated with object manipulation and dance performances.
I can’t be the only manipulator who visualise the motion of my props like this.
Wow.
Once you get past the pure level of ‘abstraction’ in Davids dancing, you begin to notice that some tiny moments stand out as visually beautiful illusions or effects. In the 2nd part of this clip (starting around 3min) the focus changes to his ‘battle’ tricks, and we can see a more clear demonstration of skill and ability. With a wild range of his movement, everything is locked together by this super-controlled internal flow, the speed of all his arms and legs are moving together to create a sustained tempo and he is showing us crazy variations on a lot of old-school waving, tutting, botting, strobing, liquid, popping, boogaloo techniques.
For me, no-one has influenced my own sense of dance and movement more than David Bernal. In the early days of the Ministry of Manipulation, we would sit around in the Hangar and Jea9, Colin, Ed, Drew and I would watch his videos and be blown away, then we would run off to juggle with a billion new ideas about movement and the way things can connect together.
Detours isn’t retail anymore (only exists on the pirate bay) and lots of other clips from the two-Dvd box set are available. Check out : The Floor is my Canvas #2 (I prefer #1, but it isn’t on youtube….)
It has been too long since he has been seen around here.
..probably one of the best and more impressive artists I’ve ever seen. He was in Cirque de Demain in 2009: I’ve seen this show live and I was painfully shocked..simply TRUE MAGIC.

An insanely detailed, highly configurable juggling simulator (for those of who who are into this sort of thing)
This is great, such a simple idea by Davy & Kristin McGuire. It started as a maquette for a full size show, and grew into an amazing artwork of it’s own.
I always had the dream of creating a theatre performance that opened up like a pop-up book. A show that would mix video projections with live actors to create a totally immersive experience.
More info while the official site is down due to high bandwidth.
Lovely animation of dancers. It’s well worth watching the behind the scenes. (Love the baby jump at 1:45)
Hands down, the most awesome action scene from any movie ever. I challenge you to come up with anything even close.
