A small sampling of images from the tumblr by Miguel that allows us to see in all their glory some amazing stills of the movies we love. In the dark, inside the movie theater, when you are lost in the fantasy of a movie, you might not realize the beautiful images that are gone before the flicker of an eye. You remember the scene but only in these stills can you appreciate some of them fully.

Formless25th Century (Luke Ighile and Ayla El-Moussa)
From the artist:
To be formless is to be flexible. Able to crash through like waves yet also be as subtle as an afternoon breeze. To be formless is to be in tune with what and who you are: an infinite potential. Formless is an on going exploration of all things shapeless and free of boundaries in nature. A study that has become a practice in our everyday life in order to empty our minds and be free of rigidity
Wildlife in Africa — and on Earth — is disappearing. While it’s not all poaching — habitat loss plays a role as well — the above chart shows toll the illegal killing has taken on the rhinoceros population in 2014. The data was equally grim for elephants and tigers.
This is by far the most awesome combination of science and design I’ve seen: a clock created by Zelf Koelman that displays time with liquid. It’s called Ferrolicafter the ferrofluid which can display recognizable shapes in response to magnets embedded inside the clock’s aluminum frame.
A ferrofluid (put together of ferromagnetic and fluid) is a liquid that becomes strongly magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field. It was invented in 1963 by NASA’s Steve Papell as a liquid
rocket fuel.
Ferrolic is controlled by an intelligent internal system that is
accessible trough a web-browser. The inventor wrote in this way users can assign “the
creatures” to display time, text, shapes and transitions. The clocks are more of a prototype so far, the first ones were available at a price of about $8,000 each.
