Don Whitaker’s Totems.
Whitaker describes Totems as “a meditation on an ephemeral water sprite”:
I captured this one at 210 frames per seconds – so it is playing back at 1/7 the normal speed. (Casio EX-FC100)
This is a close shot of a small stream at a spot where the water sort of turns back on itself against a rock. I love all of those fleeting shapes that are constantly created at a spot like that. They are still fleeting even at 210 fps.
Totems is 63 in Whitaker’s BrainBlink series. It’s a great pairing of music and video, and a hypnotic exploration the infinite possibilities contained within even the most minimal material.
What do you see?

still waiting for the mind blowing part
Recruitement ? Video Rorschach test ? 🙂
yeah, a little variation would go a long way….guess i'll go take a nap.
Maybe my mind is just easy……
That's a pretty common video filter effect, but overall I really like the piece. Great job on the original water capture videography.
Would have enjoyed it much more if the video was slowed down so that the images formed could last longer.
It's too bad people aren't seeing it. I think it's amazing! So much variety and complexity. I posted it on my facebook and asked friends to comment what they saw. Some of the things they wrote were, Stormtroopers, luchadores, chess pieces, crowns, frogs, rabbits and the predator.
saw that kind of video before, already done, dont like the music anymore sound not interesting for me.
