Inspiration: Foster the People, Rotating Corridors, and Timelapse

I’m up north being a recluse, and while doing this it’s interesting how much I crave the internet. Anyways, long story short, I’m thinking to share some things that inspire me on this blog on a more regular basis.

So, a few things that have been inspiring me lately:

1. Timelapse Montage – this is some of the most epic Timelapse I’ve ever seen. I’ve started experimenting with it and it’s been fun, but is one of those things that can be a bit harder than it looks to pull off. I have huge respect for this little video.

2. Inception – Amazing behind-the-scenes video that explains how the zero gravity corridor sequences in Inception were filmed. This shows a fantastic blend of engineering and imagination.

3. This awesome music video by Foster the People – I love the theme and execution

Quick update on my own work:

I’m currently in pre-production for three new short films: Purgatorium, Second Honeymoon, and will be participating in the 48-hr Toronto Film Challenge again this fall. This time around its a HORROR theme and I’m really looking forward to it!
Also currently buried in a slew of editing work and working on a feature film script as well as re-working my next short film script. Til next time!

New Website Launch

I’m very excited to announce the launch of my new website today – this has been in the works for a while! If you’re reading this blog, you’re already on it – but the direct link:

http://www.christinebuijs.com

… takes you right there now.

Along with a host of new work that I haven’t really showcased publicly yet, are a few other new features:

-Films section – where I’ll be updating any new films I work on and any new demo reels
-better Blog integration - I’ll keep sharing any stories, behind the scenes photos, tech (nerd) news, and inspiration, but now it’s not a separate page.
-Full screen navigation – one of my fave new features. To access this, choose any gallery and click on “options” in the bottom right hand corner
-You can also use the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard in any gallery section for easy navigation

…and it’s all fully ipad/smartphone compatible!

I’m excited to have a website that can grow along with me as I keep doing new work and venture further into the film making world. (But don’t worry – I’m not giving up photography. Just growing into new territory.)
