Some Days are Better than Others (trailer) from matt mccormick on Vimeo.

I like matt mccormick. He's done a bunch of music videos for the shins sleater kinney and yacht but he's also done a bunch of experimental film stuff and theyre all real black humor-y and sarcastic. Like one is about how painting over graffiti is a form of subconscious art, and another is this found footage madness about polar bears and how they deal with being sad. This is the trailer for his first full length, and I guess maybe it's kind of a downer, but I bet it's gonna be beautifull.

Black Rain from Semiconductor on Vimeo.

Working with STEREO scientists, Semiconductor collected all the HI image data to date, revealing the journey of the satellites from their initial orientation, to their current tracing of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Solar wind, CME's, passing planets and comets orbiting the sun can be seen as background stars and the milky way pass by.As in Semiconductors previous work 'Brilliant Noise' which looked into the sun, they work with raw scientific satellite data which has not yet been cleaned and processed for public consumption. By embracing the artifacts, calibration and phenomena of the capturing process we are reminded of the presence of the human observer who endeavors to extend our perceptions and knowledge through technological innovation.
