Slow Dancing - Making 5 Seconds Last 10 Minutes
August 14, 2007

Wired just published a story about photographer David Michalek's project called Slow Dancing, which is a series of super-slow-motion, hi-defintion films featuring 43 portraits of dancers and choreographers from around the world, displayed on multiple screens, each 5 stories high. And what's astonishing is that the films, which last an average of 8 to 10 minutes each, contain only 5 seconds of action. That's because they were shot at 1,000 frames a second. Wow. And I was so intrigued, but the photos in the article left me guessing. There weren't any. There was just a drawing. How bizarre.

Did You Know You Could Create An Entire Website In Photoshop?
SiteGrinder Photoshop Plugin - Create Websites Instantly


SiteGrinder Photoshop Plugin - Create Websites InstantlyThere often seems to be a strict division of labor within the world of web design and development. Creative professionals tend to stick to the Photoshop domain, while those well-versed in scripting are left to the task of implementing their work. Indeed, the two realms are quite different from each other, to which any of us even vaguely familiar with either can easily attest.

Essentially, Photoshop is a no-holds-barred design studio, offering the artist a seemingly endless array of creative options. On the other hand, HTML, CSS, Java and the like follow strict rules of engagement, requiring the developer to take any number of esoteric concerns into consideration in order to ensure that designs are properly displayed on the web.

Turn Photoshop Into A Complete Web Design Tool
SiteGrinder seeks to bridge this gap between design and development. Basically, SiteGrinder turns Photoshop into an easy-to-use and fully functional web design tool. With SiteGrinder, designers will now have the freedom to totally let their creativity loose and then, without skipping a beat, transfer their designs to the web. Bringing esthetic concerns together with more practical considerations, SiteGrinder is an amazingly powerful tool that would make a fantastic addition to any web designer's bag of tricks. Mac OS X and Windows versions of the SiteGrinder unlockable demo are available now via download.
