I love this period of Hitchcock. Stitching interesting panoramas in Photoshop is one of my favourite things so I can connect with the technical aspects on an emotional level. Random contributor to my enjoyment: I once had a job where I had to deconstruct movies, watching them back and forth, each movie for up to two months, cataloging all the visual information: settings, costumes etc.</p> <p>(When I wanted to post this I searched the Hitchcock tag looking for a post to reblog and I like the frame <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://girlatlas.tumblr.com/post/20413577557/rear-window-timelapse">girlatlas</a> chose to hilight the post. It looks more exciting on the dashboard than the tiny video thumbnails.)</p> <p><a href="http://www.jeffdesom.com/hitch/">More info on the making of</a>.</p>http://tumblr.kevinsteele.com/post/20434450978http://tumblr.kevinsteele.com/post/20434450978Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:35:00 -0400hitchcockpanoramareconstructiontime lapse<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1k5a0Cadd1qejbiro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Hey Rocky, watch me pull a cat out of my guitar!</p>http://tumblr.kevinsteele.com/post/20070056209http://tumblr.kevinsteele.com/post/20070056209Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:24:00 -0400cat<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1g67dcinQ1qaruxco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://visual-poetry.tumblr.com/post/20009231441/text-by-maurizio-nannucci">visual-poetry</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>“text” by maurizio nannucci</p> </blockquote>http://tumblr.kevinsteele.com/post/20009295016http://tumblr.kevinsteele.com/post/20009295016Tue, 27 Mar 2012 10:54:25 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0s3p3d9rC1qc5chro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Underpass on Brock Ave</p>http://tumblr.kevinsteele.com/post/19181481698http://tumblr.kevinsteele.com/post/19181481698Mon, 12 Mar 2012 11:44:52 -0400brock avenuetorontounderpass<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lygngj65RH1qc5chro1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Kissing kitties in Minecraft! </p> <p>That game is so adorable, even with the monsters that come out at night.
