[Fixer808]

Amazing, dude, simply amazing!

[Jinsai]

wow, that was pretty awesome!

[theruiner]

Dude, that was awesome. I dug the whole thing, but I especially loved the "moving" parts (for complete lack of a better term): when the camera swung around that tree and the way the camera moved in and out of the house at the end. Really good stuff.

Also, those windmills- is that off the 10, near Cabazon? I love that stretch of road.

[halloween]

I absolutely love your work =]

[Magtig]

Thank ya kindly, folks. ;)

[tireless.mind]

Wow. Just saw Flawed Symmetry of Prediction. That was amazing.

Very nice job, Magtig! I especially liked Flawed Symmetry, it had a foreboding quality to it that made it very different than most timelapse videos I've seen.

If you'd like to vote for my panel at SXSW, I'd really appreciate it. Oh, and I'm making a book with Blurb.

My Book 'Flawed Symmetry of Prediction' Is Out and it's Free! (http://jefffrost.zenfolio.com/blog/2012/10/fsopbook) (reposted from my website)

Download the book at Blurb.com now! (http://store.blurb.com/ebooks/327392-flawed-symmetry-of-prediction) (recommended)

Blurb Books CEO, Eileen Gittens, approached me about making this book earlier this year at the Palm Springs Photo Festival. She told me Blurb was working on the debut of a new electronic book format and thought my art and video work would be perfect to highlight its strengths. The thought of making a book had never really entered my head at that point; I figured I had no damn business making one.

Despite my hesitation, I found that I couldn’t stop thinking about what might set the book apart from a website. I imagined how I would want the book to look and feel, but even more I pondered what the experience of the reader might be. I realized Eileen was presenting a great opportunity (and a great challenge). It seemed like a waste to say no just because I didn't know what hell I was doing.

Before I knew it I was visiting the Blurb offices in San Francisco to discuss the features of the format with their very capable staff. At the end of the book making process I was so exhausted and frazzled that the hobgoblins in my head were telling me it was a disaster, but after a good night’s sleep I sat down and experienced what I had created. I played the audio on each page and looked at the images and before I knew it I became lost in the experience. The world around me disappeared, my anxieties faded and I forgot that I was looking at a book.

I am very happy to present this book to you now. It works on the iPad, iPhone and iTouch and includes a preview of my next fine art film as well as plenty of never before seen still images, behind the scenes images, electromagnetic audio recordings from space, and even a written account of the painting and shooting of the final scene in the film. It costs whatever you want it to cost. If you love it please check out the donation page in the back of the book, but please don’t be shy about passing it around to whomever you’d like.

It is my sincere hope that as you flip through the pages of this book you lose your sense of time and get just as lost in the experience as I did,

- Jeff Frost

These are great!

0:16 in the new trailer is really, really cool

These are great!

Thank you!

The still image (several posts above) of the sun setting was shot in the same day at the same place. It's the CARMA radio telescope array in California.

Wow, these shots look amazing. Love the sharpness and the tone. Looking forward for the full version.

I am the subject of the latest post on SMOGRANCH (http://www.smogranch.com/?p=7507), a really cool blog written by film photographer extraordinaire, Daniel Milnor. He reveals a few surprises.

Flawed Symmetry of Prediction is a vimeo staff pick (https://vimeo.com/channels/staffpicks/51584025)!

This thread title always makes me laugh.

Oh and nice work!

Holy crap The Atlantic (http://www.theatlantic.com/video/archive/2012/11/a-jaw-dropping-time-lapse-video-of-optical-illusions-in-abandoned-houses/264038/) posted about me, and even included an excerpt of the story I wrote for the eBook. Now my parents won't feel so bad about loaning me rent monies. :D

Also, I spent last night in a storm drain by the LA River. Good times all around.

I haven't done any urban exploring in years. One of the good ones was in a mall that was being torn down. Got some good photos with friend, and then went out to the rubble pile with drumsticks and were "playing" the debris, like giant girders and a 2-ton air conditioning unit. It was fun, and when we stopped someone from across the pile, like a block away shouted "More!!" :)

Anyway, I gotta grab my camera and find some abandoned structure!

[Magtig]

I wish you were in LA, Fixer. This whole thing is threatening to be a sort of regular Sunday night kinda deal.

[Fixer808]

I may have to see if I can scrounge up funds for a trip down! Johnbron was talking about a trip down in May for that Kubrick exhibit...

[Shnoorum]

Holy shit Magtig! Those videos are epic! I adore Flawed Symmetry of Prediction! It has such a creepy weird vibe to it. Loving 1.16 to 1.42 in particular. I've never seen time lapse done quite like that before

[Magtig]

Empty Kingdom (http://www.emptykingdom.com/main/featured/optical-illusion-by-frost/) posted FSOP, along with a TON of photography (some from upcoming film work). I'm posting it here because you may remember their HTDA feature with Rob Sheridan.

Also, a show that airs on Canal Plus in France interviewed me over skype. It airs mid-December, and it's called l'Oeil de Links (http://www.facebook.com/oeildelinks?fref=ts). If you see it let me know what you think. I'm new to being interviewed for any kind of television, and I'm a bit nervous about it.

I have a new film coming out on Tuesday of next week. Until then, here's the intro video:

Nice! I'm excited to see it, and not just because I have a personal invested love of the Mojave desert.

Goodbye, steave.

amazing and beautiful movie Jeff.

[Fixer808]

Seriously amazing stuff. I need to find a place that's as dark as the desert you go to so I can try my hand at super long exposures!

Oh cool, thanks!

[DVYDRNS]

wow... hey if you ever want some audio tracks for your videos... by all means let me know! I would love to lend my sound to those visuals.

[Magtig]

Oh cool, thanks!
Actually, now that I think about it, try some super long exposure city shots at ISO 100, for 30 seconds (dial in the aperture accordingly). They're great fun, especially to see how different lenses flare (which is why I love expensive glass).

This was shot with an L series lens from Canon, for example:

[Fixer808]

I've done some stuff like that before! Not much, but I got a good shot of Science World here in Van:

(also, the photo you posted said "content protected by owner" :( )

[Magtig]

Nice! And I think I fixed the picture access.

[Fixer808]

Very cool! I've done some of those "river of light" shots, too!

Well shit... my Kickstarter for Modern Ruin (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1051873420/modern-ruin-white-hole?ref=home_spotlight) is the Kickstarter Project for the Day for Film & Video (I think that means it's kind of like a staff pick +). Let's hope it makes a nice big dent in the goal!

Tough times. The Kickstarter suffered a serious setback. More info, and how to help here (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1051873420/modern-ruin-white-hole/posts/581946).

Even if the fucking thing doesn't fund I'm still going down fighting.
