Last Monday i finally bought a Nikon D90, after a 3 year hiatus and a stolen D70. I’m still getting the the hang of it, and one of the most frequent questions asked is about the movie mode. The usual pundits have taken their side, but as i’m not a big fan of technical jargon, let’s stick with the visuals, with a test between the Nikon D90 (digital SLR) and Panasonic HVX200 (camcorder).

Now it’s becoming even clearer why Flickr decided to support video.

More D90 video goodies, found at Colmeia, after the jump.

The video below has been around for a while, but it was the first one that turned lip dubbin’ into an Internet meme.

Lip Dub – Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger from amandalynferri on Vimeo.

Quite appropriately, it was done by a group of friends who work for internet video startups like Vimeo and CollegeHumor. And the girl at the beginning (Amanda) is really cute.

Liked it? Here’s a few more videos:

This blog has been too quiet these days, as i enter my second week of holidays. I’ll be back in full strength, but meanwhile enjoy a month old video of fireworks with music by Sigur Ros.

The Fourth from Michael Brodner AKA Bones on Vimeo.

For all the love birds out there, enjoy “Bridge”, the new short film by one of my first masters of digital creativity, Hillman Curtis.

It’s rewarding to see the path that Hillman has trailed, developing the first Macromedia Flash banners to becoming a film director. Once you find your creative genius, it’s just a matter of time until you start using it on other disciplines, making the invisible visible.

Being swamped with work in the past week, blogging frequency was tuned down. A lot of inspirations passed by and feeds piled up to 1000+, but i couldn’t help to share these precious gems:

• Last, a big idea from tech companies: Using TV analogic spectrum to provide free wifi. I wonder what ISPs and mobile operators have to say about it ?

Enjoy these collected weekly inspirations.

Having just read Seth Godin’s book Meatball Sundae, it was a lot of fun seeing him showcased in one of his purple cows, the blender video series from Blendtec. Here’s the video:

Altough at first i was expecting the victim would be the whole book, this was a nice take. And again, do buy the book (and please offer a few more to those old fashioned monolitic CMOs you always complain about).

Finally Common Craft published one of their most expected videos.

Now you can easily explain what’s Twitter all about. And follow me on Twitter, of course.
