Great Reel
Samm Hodges/Mothlight Design Reel ’09 from samm hodges on Vimeo.
Just found this on vimeo and I was super impressed and inspired…so I wanted to share. The sound and animation (as well as all the pieces) make such a great compilation.

Check out this blog – FrankenMeg – I especially love the cooking videos. The girl who is the co-founder of this site is an old friend from high-school + I am assuming the guy is her husband. Of course this is interesting to me because its someone I know, but at the same time I love cooking and I’m totally into it…there’s one video on there for some kick ass BBQ sauce too. Very cool – I am inspired to cook Lobstah! And I am inspired to make more videos! Thanks FrankenMeg!

Scene 360 – Featured “Goodie” :)
Today Scene 360 featured my video “It’s All Under Control” from my MFA on their online magazine. Here’s what they wrote:
“Jul 01, 2008 - Posted by Scene360 Team, 360’s Video Selection: “It’s All Under Control” by Shellie Fiocca. This is an interesting video that captures the painting technique and process of the artist. The background music was certainly well chosen for the footage. You can view video on our front page or video channel.”
I am one of the “Extra Goodies” at the bottom of the page. Pretty cool. They are an online film and arts magazine. A quarterly publication, which profiles and interviews artists, web designers, filmmakers and poets with a focus on their career and analysis of the driving forces behind their work.
Replenishing Body Kiosk – London Design Museum
Bobby and I went to the Design Museum today in London…in South Bank (near the Tower Bridge) and it was so awesome…wayyy better than the Tate Modern. :)
This design work was created by Ross Phillips, head of interactive at SHOWstudio, the online fashion broadcasting company, founded by Nick Knight.
It was inspired by the fact that the human body is made up of 60% water, used a 25 section, touch screen video grid where visitors were invited to make a one-second video recording of a close-up section of their body, which was added to a constantly moving, composite video portrait.
Stuck in Bloody London ;)
Bobby and I got up this morning thinking we were going to the airport and were surprised to find out that our flight had been canceled due to weather…and that there weren’t any flights to Chicago until tomorrow. Although it’s not so good for our pocket books…we did get to stay at a cooler hotel in a different part of town and we got to go to the Design Museum, which I was really sad we had missed. It was raining like crazy today so it wasn’t as fun walking from the tube…but it was well worth the wet walk.
There were lots of really amazing designed objects/furniture/fashion but our favorite at the museum was this interactive video installation. I’m going to post a video of that above this post if you want to watch it. Basically you could hit “record” and choose a spot on the screen and you’d record a one second video of yourself that would be placed on the projected screen. The coolest part about it is that you’re little video stays there until someone comes in behind you and chooses that same square to replace you. Until then, you really are a part of that art work. :) You can see in the video (that I’ll be posting next) that Bobby and I are doing some silly stuff…it was really fun!
