How To Make a Photomosaic from a YouTube Video

You’ve seen Photomosaics before, right?  That’s where you take hundreds or thousands of pictures and then combine them into one giant picture of something else? 

You know, like this Tigger jigsaw puzzle.  The image is made of thousands upon thousands of animated cells, combined to make a single image of Tigger.

Well, here’s a website that lets you do the same sort of thing, but using YouTube videos instead. (Thanks, Alain!)

How To Do Tilt Shift Photography

Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L Tilt Shift Lens for Canon SLR CamerasTilt shift photography is a way to make an image or film look like it’s of a toy miniture or the object is made of plastic — just by adjusting the focus used by the camera.

You can use a special tilt shift lens on your SLR camera, or you can manipulate the image digitally with Photoshop to change the focus to a much narrower frame of reference.  Doing so makes the image appear much further away in the shot than it actually is.

You may have already seen some examples of tilt shift photography without even realizing it.  Joss Whedon’s TV show DOLLHOUSE uses tilt shift photography in its opening credit sequence, seen here:

The Top Viral Videos of All Time…so far

Visible Measures, a company that measures online video usage, has released a report that they’ve entitled THE MOST-VIEWED VIRAL VIDEOS OF ALL TIME.

They determined that this particular listing is the first one to compile videos solely based on being viewed more than 100,000,000 times each.  Their sample size is based on 100 million different videos that appear on 150 different video sharing destinations, as opposed to just counting those videos that were viewed directly on the YouTube website.  Those “embed” tags really proved their worth here.

18 videos made the list.  Here are nine of them, including the top five most viewed videos:

10 Things You Don’t Know About… What Makes Coldplay, Coldplay

ColdplayA few days ago, we mentioned that during a recent 60 MINUTES INTERVIEW WITH COLDPLAY’S CHRIS MARTIN, the camera showed a list of the 10 rules that Coldplay has for staying true to themselves and being the best band they could be.

You’ve asked what the other rules are, so here they are:

  1. Albums must be no longer than 42 minutes
  2. Production must be amazing, rich, but with space, not overlayered, less tracks more quality. Groove and swing  Drums/rhythm are the most crucial thing to concentrate on; diff. between bittersweet and science of silence
  3. Computers are instruments, not recording aids.
  4. Imagery must be classic, colorful and different. Come back in glorious technicolor.
  5. Make sure videos and pictures are great before setting release date. And highly original.
  6. Always keep mystery. Not many interviews
  7. Groove and Swing.  Rhythms and sounds must always be as original as possible. Once jon has melody, twist it and weird it sonical
  8. Promo/review copies to be on vinyl. Stops copying problem, sounds and looks better.
  9. Jaqueline sabriado, ns p cc, face forward
  10. Think about what to do with charity account. Set up something small but really enabling and constructive.

If you want to see the rules in context, you may want to watch the entire interview yourself.
