Hong Kong protesters are using laser pointers to confuse facial recognition and they’re frying photographers’ camera sensors
Pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong have been using laser pointers to distract police officers and confuse facial recognition cameras. But while they are beating facial recognition, they are also causing more serious problems for police officers and photographers covering the protests. The laser beams have caused eye damage to several people so far, and they have been frying camera sensors as well.

You will want to visit Hong Kong after watching this trippy hyperlapse
The time lapse bar keeps getting raised. A few years back a mountain top covered with clouds shot with a digital camera was enough for us to make a small wow. But as technology gets more accessible, those are no longer enough. This video by Kirill Neiezhmakov has nothing to do with those static shots.
This Inception-like timelapse of Hong Kong was inspired by a 2400 year old story from Ancient Greece
No sooner does one new timelapse impress the hell out of us than another one comes along to do it all over again. This time, it’s from the folks at Visual Suspect, with an amazing timelapse of Hong Kong called The Allegory of the Cave that’s going to seriously mess with your head.
Like something plucked right out of Inception, chopping and mirroring frames along various axes while occasionally rotating the footage keeps will get you watching parts of this over and over to figure out exactly what’s going on.
7 minutes of the most cinematic footage of Hong Kong you’ve ever seen
Hong Kong is incredible mix of old and new. The opportunity to take stunning shots is there and is just waiting for the right creative vision to bring it to life. And Brandon Li has vision oozing our of his ears.
Hong Kong Strong is a 7 minutes journey into the city. And it takes the kind of spatial and temporal liberty that makes those seven minutes feel like 2. From vertigo effect (which is the first time I’ve seen being done in post), through aerial footage, hyperlapses and just about any other cinematic trick you can envision.
The results are spectacular.

Dramatic Aerial Views Of Hong Kong Taken From A Chocolate Delivery Drone (Plus 5 Essential Flying Tips)
Admittedly, I’m not wild about the idea of “delivery drones”, but this video taken with one is pretty cool. The video condenses the 14-minute trip from Kowloon to Hong Kong into a 2-minute array of sweeping coastlines, dramatic cityscapes, and serene hillsides. While the drone did successfully deliver a chocolate bar, the real purpose of this flight was to bring attention to safe UAV flying habits, which the producers accomplished in the well thought out description of the video on it’s YouTube page. Definitely worth a read, but first, check out the clip:
