If you’re an independent or non-profit filmmaker, film student or someone “in need of free music for your independent, non-profit film, video or short,” Moby has been thinking about you. The always innovative and individualistic musician launched mobygratis.com, a site that has seventy tracks of his music (some of it previously unreleased) that you can use in your next project. I know I’m going to! If you want to use it for a commercial film you can apply for a license and the money will be donated to the humane society. Watch the video of Moby describing his project below.

While admiring Joi Ito’s bamboo photo, I followed the links suggested by Jessup in the comments and was quite moved by the motion work of independent filmmaker Wayne Peng.  It’s hard to even believe that mini-films like this are commercials (click the gray words for “Commercial Film” to watch the video). Like his own description of himself, Peng’s work is also in a state of drifting. The subjects, ease of motion, depth of color and warmth of each scene is breathtaking. You can see all of his work at his site, Purefilms.
