I've always been fascinated by the every day details that we sometimes take for granted even though upon closer inspection they can be baffling, different, completely amazing and totally unique to the world. Something so small (compared to us) can sometimes be so detailed and full of complexities upon closer inspection.

This video was shot at the Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork, Utah. Their annual Festival of Colors was a great opportunity to test the slow-mo capabilities of my Cannon 7D.

20 years ago I saw a scene from a film that still captivates me to this day, and it is the reason I became a filmmaker (its the rocket scene from Koyaanisqatsi). The water scene in this art/fashion film is my tribute to it: vimeo.com/42809211
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
