Robin Good: Ptch is a new free iOS app that allows you to "curate" your favorite pics and clips from your own library and social stream into an audio-video mashup that you can share with anyone.
From Mashable: "Ptchis an app for iPhones and iPads that lets users combine photos and video clips into a one-minute or less “Ptch” that can be shared instantly.
Users can add styles and music to a Ptch, and friends can “reptch” or edit videos by adding their own media.
Launched in July, Ptch takes the concept of Instagram to another level by letting users mash their media together with tone and expression. The app is designed to capture users’ experiences in real-time, and also let friends mix in media of their own experiences.
...
Creating a Ptch is simple – select your favorite photos and video clips, choose a style (original, matte, epic, soho, vivid, fillmore, kane or kaskade) to make your Ptch more powerful and then pick a song from the app’s music list. Users can also create titles for their photos.
Once the Ptch is done, press play and share it on your stream or with friends via email, Facebook and Twitter. You can also make your Ptches private if you don’t want to share them."
"The four animation students, Alon Tako, Guy Elnathan, Daniel Lichter and Sivan Kotek were given the subject of ‘games’ for their third-year project: “We decided to work together because it would be insane to try and make your first CG short by yourself!” they say on their Blog post.

Sparked by the dENiZEN™ brand message rallying for youths across the world to get together and start something inspirational, a group of innovative light artists known as Lichtfaktor teamed up with dENiZEN™ to create this colorful video with a purpose: To highlight the importance of ecological balance.
Beginning weeks in advance, Lichtfaktor artists got together to design their favourite images of nature, such as jellyfish, birds and flowers using various illuminated items such as colored flashlights, laser projectors and even illuminated bowling pins. The next step was more difficult: Designing the animation techniques to make the images 'move' and bring them to life.
The young visionaries hit the streets of Cologne, Germany after dark and created their designs by painstakingly and repeatedly drawing, flashing and even juggling their illuminated instruments in thin air. All these movements are captured as slow-motion footage so that normal playback would reveal the final images and animation created by each artist, amazingly without the use of any video manipulation software or CGI.
As the eye-catching colours pierce through the darkness, we see moving scenes such as a flower from seedling to bloom, a monkey scampering through the city, and even a whale swimming in the streets under a starry sky, as the backdrop of stately architecture and cobblestone streets are overtaken by a rich tapestry of nature's wonders..
