An incredible shot for a music video. So simple. So powerful.
Remarkable ‘To The River’ Music Video Was Recorded in the Reflection on a Person’s Eye
Cinemagraphs are basically fancy Gifs where only part of the image is moving, so the idea of using them to make a music promo at first sounds a little…boring.
But when you set it to a melancholic soundtrack like Joel Compass’ “Back to Me” , the technique transforms and adds a strange sense voyeurism to the story
I’ve been working on a gun awareness campaign for a while now, so naturally fate has me seeing gun related blogs and projects everywhere I turn. This project spoke out to my DIY and art personality. There’s something beautiful in the contrast between the violence of guns and majesty of music and the transformation that happens.
Mexican artist Pedro Reyes has been turning to weapons as an art medium to address the crime rates in his native country.
His “Imagine” collection has re-imagined a set of 50 musical instruments fabricated out of destroyed weapons – revolvers, shot-guns, machine-guns, etc. A group of 6 musicians worked for 2 weeks shoulder-to-shoulder turning these agents of death into instruments of life.
Speaking about the project Pedro said, “It’s difficult to explain but the transformation was more than physical. It’s important to consider that many lives were taken with these weapons; as if a sort of exorcism was taking place the music expelled the demons they held, as well as being a requiem for lives lost.”
Some lyrical genius happening here. **SPOILER - If you’re sensitive about some language, this probably isn’t for you…otherwise it’s hilarious

I wonder if it actually works when it’s tightened or if the tuning will gradually…um…de-tune.
