Perpignan, France is known in the photography world for the international photojournalism festival (Visa pour l'Image) it hosts every year, but recently it made photo-related news for quite a different reason -- earlier this week a mentally-ill 47-year-old woman murdered her sister... with a tripod. Yikes...

"Nowhere Near Here" is a creative video by Pahnl that uses light painted stencils for stop-motion animation, following a glowing dog on its journeys around a city. Production took over 300 hours, and involved getting down on the knees to light paint over 200 stencils. Ironically, a dog almost peed on the camera during shooting.
