Time-lapse videos are a fascinating thing: They show us moves that would remain without photo technical assistance in secret.

Links for Friday Afternoon I therefore think again out for particularly successful time-lapse movies - and the year there are my 3 favorites of 2012.

No. 3 on my list is a short video Killer Cat from Russia. Although it is not a real time-lapse piece. There is symbolic of the many, many, many sites that deal in depth with man's best friend - and offer 95 percent felt all web content. Not for Frightful ...

The second has to do with the movies theme that has brought me to school days to journalism. How and why is its own story. Only so much: As the first U.S. space shuttle launched into space in 1981, I sat glued to the TV screen.

Since then, the U.S. space shuttles were among the world's perennial favorites in the pages of newspapers and TV news. Now it is now finally over - the remaining space shuttles Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour are still to be admired in museums. My Video # 2 is therefore one that captures in slow motion as the Endeavour makes its last meters (Flash required) is transported to the museum through the streets of Los Angeles:

For all modes of apple-th there is an alternative:

By the way, NASA has now easy to do more important things to shoot as altgedientes space vehicle into space.

The top-lapse movie of 2012 shows my Hamburg at its best. Alster, Elbe, Millerntorplatz. Simply without words. Watch and enjoy - the # 1:

If I'm not mistaken, I'm with family for a brief moment, even accidentally in the picture - during the Cruise Days-run parade in the blue-lit harbor.

Merry Christmas and wish you a great 2013

PS: Oh, and as a bouncer After putting this here - Psy meets Wham! OMG:

Long time seemed unthinkable that the newspaper could come as a media genre in an existential crisis. But now the unthinkable is as regrettable fact: FTD is to have the very last time today on the newsstands tomorrow journalistic voice will be silenced. The 07.12.2012 is therefore not a good day either for the colleagues of the FTD editors nor for the industry as a whole.

While rummaging in today FTD last edition went through my head, how long are newspapers to the public and that the inventory is nowhere as visible as in feature films. Should you perhaps an old strip like Citizen Kane in the closet or a newer ones like Zodiac on the hard drive, then you look to him yet again to. As an appetizer here is the trailer for Citizen Kane, directed by and starring Orson Welles:

My favorite remains the way, All the President's Men (German Title: The Untouchables). Most will know Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman acting is how the Washington Post legends Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncover the Watergate Skandel to U.S. President Richard Nixon.

For more inspiration, here is a nice list of newspaper movies of TIME Magazine

Suitable here's an article about "Movies about Journalism" from the New York Times.

A silver lining media horizon there is the end of this week, not really. But after all, a proper shitstorm.

For all fans of the newly added hamburger Men homage magazine Brigitte therefore, there is today a specially selected, time-lapse movie. In the lead role: skateboard end men in their sweaty exercises. Please come with your nose too close to the screen

Is it you noticed? Time-lapse and real time shots are mixed together here. No idea how filmmakers Russell Houghten has accomplished this, it is succeeded him in any case.

Who's more tranquil likes: In this fast-forward, you can once again see the autumn storm over relaxed with a cup of coffee. The video shows the Indian Summer in New York's Central Park Full müffelfrei.

Enjoy the weekend

This week it was serious. FR and FTD are set hundreds of people lose their jobs and - macabre as it certainly does - the forthcoming final expenditure will even be historical evidence, maybe even have collector value.

In the U.S., many newspapers have already gone the same way in the past few years. To counteract the total loss, archived the Newseum in Washington DC these witnesses of a changing media industry and now has well over 35,000 historically important newspaper editions in his collection, some dating back to 1526.

The curators of the Newseum so know all about the preservation of sensitive and newspaper pages on your website to give professional advice.

I wish, however, that these tips may find no further use.

A merry weekend

PS:

Congratulations go to Cologne today at Blasius Kawalkowski, the winner of my little puzzle game.

The gain is also already arrived safely:
Here's the photographic evidence.

By the way, there were texts on flood-on-web.de date exactly 352 blog posts.

Did you catch that? Over at the Blog there is a small Schmunzelgeschichte today. Colleagues have also opened a probably unique research carvers from the sports department of the FAZ around the time probably for all time century-Fallrückzieher the Swedish football player Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Only the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung will not acknowledge quite the unique character of the hit. There, sports editor Uwe Marx reminds namely today because '(...) that it once was a player that hit not only from twenty-five, but regardless of forty meters with a bicycle kick. It was also a Swede, Rade Prica, who plays for Hansa Rostock. He actually had the audacity once it from an even greater distance than Ibrahimovic to try the game for Rosenborg BK FC Basel - to meet and ".

The problem: Most likely this is still more unique (sic) never hit like in a real game, but only in a video game. If true, we probably have here a classic case of own goal. Sh * t happens. Can happen even once.

Here is the fake over:

In order not to make me suspicious of the lousy malice, I also like outing myself here a little embarrassing episode of my life journalists: As a young freelancer I could write for my local editorial office once a short triathlon, I should shoot photos of course. I then did. In the film, however, change - the organization was long ago came to an end - I had not quite in view that the film removal from the front of the camera is rewound but only better. When I could think again, it was a tiny moment too late - and all images presented after developing a beautiful black stripe in the center of the image exposure. My editor said to me afterwards: "Heijnk write, yes you can. But with the shooting ... "Fortunately, there's digital cameras today.

Looking forward to your stories - if you like.

Nice weekend
