I feel like the interwebs have been feeding me a lot of interesting juxtapositions lately. Today we have a diver’s view and a bird’s eye view.

First: diver.

Free Fall is a video made by the freedivers Guillaume Néry and Julie Gautier. You can see Guillaume doing a base jump into Dean’s Blue Hole. They say it’s a fictional and artistic project, they wanted to show another approach to freediving videos. Even Julie, who filmed everything with a Canon 5D Mark II, held her breath the whole time. The result is awesome.

Divers are much, much braver than I am. Next up: flight patterns from Aaron Koblin.

This work was originally developed as a series of experiments for the project “Celestial Mechanics” by colleagues Scott Hessels and Gabriel Dunne at UCLA. FAA data was parsed and plotted using the Processing programming environment. The frames were composited with Adobe After Effects and/or Maya.

This is the Northeast.

Have an adventurous Tuesday!
