Cinematic Techniques That Have Become Popular in the Modern Age of Filmmaking
Here’s a look at what’s en vogue in cinematography today.
Cinematography has changed a lot since workers left the Lumière factory in 1895. Drones, gimbals, and 360-degree camera rigs have made it easier for filmmakers to take advantage of their wild creativity in order to capture images that the forefathers of film never even dreamed possible. So, what are the techniques that have become popular in today’s cinematic climate? Well, here to discuss it in this episode of Indy Mogul’s Saturday Morning Special series is YouTuber Aidin Robbins of Digital Blast, who, at just 14 years old, has an understanding of filmmaking that stands up to even the most seasoned pros.
Robbins gives us a lot to digest in this video. Though some of the techniques he mentions, like macro shots and flares, have been used for quite some time, he definitely mentions some that are unique to the current climate of cinema.

Illustration: Hipstory – World Leaders in Hipster Form
We couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear when we came across the latest illustration work of Amit Shimoni, a young Israeli artist based in Tel Aviv. During his time serving in the military service from 18-21 years of age, Amit started painting abstract art to express his emotions. After his military service, while backpacking in Northern India for a few months, he finally acknowledged that creating art would be his life mission. Enter his latest, most creative work, Hipstory.
“I wanted HIPSTORY to re-imagine the great leaders of modern history and place them in a different time and culture era- ours. I wanted to created a sort of mirror- a mirror that on the one hand is supposed to make one smile, and on the other to make him think. As I see it, criticism doesn’t always have to be poignant it can simply be a method to arouse discussion and show things under a certain light.”
We hope you enjoy this smile-inducing gallery of clever illustrations as much as we do of our great leaders portrayed as modern-day Hipsters. Also be sure to check out a behind the scenes look at Shimoni’s process for creating his Einstein work here. Shimoni’s work is available for purchase on his site too. I’ll be ordering my Obama print tomorrow.

Web Design and Visual Design for Nokia OZO
Web Design and Visual Design for Nokia OZO
Nokia OZO is a web design, interaction design and UI/UX project shared by Viktor Vörös on his Behance profile. OZO is a virtual reality camera, the first of its kind and of course it looks extremely futuristic and the work that Viktor did an excellent job showcasing it on a beautifully simple and elegant web site. The cool thing about his design is that the camera is always on the first plane and everything looks secondary in a way. The images of the camera always pop and the low contrast text and black and white theme help with that quite a lot. Enough of descriptions, check it out after the break and let us know what you think.
The world’s first professional Virtual Reality camera. Crafted by Nokia Technologies, OZO combines the ultimate in engineering capabilities and intelligent design to offer you the best Virtual Reality production experience.
Viktor Vörös is a digital designer from Szeged, Hungary. He is passionate about design, always keeping his ambitions high and quality in focus at all times. He has done work for clients like Microsoft, Samsung, L’Oréal Professionnel, Vogue, Rolls-Royce, Konami, 20th Century Fox & more. For more information check out http://hellowiktor.com/

Capital One at SXSW: Challenging the Status Quo in Banking
Sponsored Content Provided by Capital One
Capital One returned as a super sponsor for the third year in a row, and made a big splash at SXSW 2017! We sat down with Sanjiv Yajnik, President of Financial Services at Capital One, to talk about what he found the most compelling, exciting and inspiring this year.
You’ve now been at SXSW for three years in a row. What keeps you coming back?
SXSW is one of the largest gatherings of entrepreneurs, innovators and disruptors. These are people who dream of a better way to make the extraordinary happen.
We’re a top 10 bank, but we were a start-up not that long ago. We’re still founder-led. We’re entrepreneurs at heart and always challenge the market for the sake of our customers. And with every challenge, we smash the banking status quo, one step at a time.
I can think of no better place than SXSW for Capital One to have a presence, and make connections with the best minds in tech and innovation. We love the energy of SXSW, and the feeling that anything is possible. It keeps us coming back for more.
Tell us more about how you challenge the banking status quo.
We’re always trying new things, testing and retesting, and pushing the limits of technology to give it more humanity for the sake of our customers.
At SXSW this week, we gave attendees a behind-the-scenes look at the design and development of a number of innovations that are helping people be more confident about their relationship with money. This includes our newly launched chatbot Eno, the first natural language SMS chatbot from a U.S. bank, as well as an Auto Finance API that has completely reimagined the auto buying and financing experience, and Project Elements, an initiative that is experimenting with the future of the credit card.
SXSW is a fantastic place for our designers, developers and product managers to share prototypes and products that are disruptive and innovative, and to hear from others who are equally passionate about taking risks to try something new.
Capital One is known for bold, innovative activations at SXSW. What did you do this year?
For the second year in a row we converted Antone’s Nightclub – a historic Austin landmark – into the Capital One House between March 10-13. Every part of Capital One was represented there, either showcasing their innovation through inventive product displays or sharing their expertise and knowledge through dozens of thought leadership sessions. We had sessions ranging from how to conduct good design, to the rise in women entrepreneurs, to designing for artificial intelligence.
Our Physical Experience Design team developed unique installations at the Capital One House that provided immersive ways for us to connect with guests. One was an interactive mural depicting Austin, its attractions and its diversity. Different images within the mural represented Capital One products and capabilities. When attendees touched the images, additional information was digitally revealed.
Finally, we had a remarkable music lineup every night, including alt rock, eclectic and R&B. We even had a nod to the 90s, and rounded it all up with Austin rock. Headliners included Joywave, Aloe Blacc and Smash Mouth. Experiencing this lineup at the iconic Antone’s is a huge part of what makes SXSW so special for us. For two years in a row, Will Bridges, the owner of Antone’s, has been a great partner, allowing us to take over the legendary blues club and make it our own for a few days. Those who missed this incredible music can check out our DevExchange Spotify playlist, which features all of the musicians we hosted.
SXSW has redefined disruption by blurring the lines between music and technology. We’re proud to partner with them and take innovation to the next level.
