This is funny in its awkwardness, and pretty uncomfortable to watch. In a strange way, it’s the exact opposite of CNN Concatenated.

Moran Cerf: The Dream Encoding Machine That Never Existed
Moran Cerf is a neuroscientist that was involved with a study that enabled researchers to project an image of what a person was thinking about. When his paper was published in Nature, the media quickly misconstrued his work and talk of a “dream encoder” began to take over.
Man-Eater: A Pedestrian-Eating Game
Artist Daniel Disselkøen created a rather fun way to pass the time on his commute. His project, Man-eater, is a low tech game that he (and others) can enjoy – using a bit of parallax and imagination.
The Paper Chase – Contracts
Appropriate that I post this, as I’ve been spending most of the day working on putting together and playing around with fake contracts.
I love this movie, in kind of the same way I love Dead Poets Society – a classic movie about school and studying. So dated, and so terrific.
Samsara: The Interconnected World and the Ever Turning Wheel of Life
I’ve seen Samsara referred to as the sequel to Baraka – a film that I bought a long while ago, but never got around to watching. It’s been sitting in a drawer, unopened, and I’m now kicking myself as I have to wait for my PS3 to get returned, before I can actually watch the thing. Serves me right for waiting so long.
Bryan’s Video Proposal to Jamie (With a Little Help From Elvis and a Lot of Friends)
Jamie and I are going to Hawaii in August, and she’s a big Elvis fan. To work with that, I would like to get small clips of you lip-syncing to parts of “Can’t help falling in love” by Elvis. Don’t worry, you wont have to do the whole song. Once I get a good grasp of who will be involved, the song will be chopped up and you will be sent a small part to lip-sync.
Bugs Bunny, Song Memory, and a Rainy Night in Rio
For some reason beyond my understanding, the song that Bugs Bunny first sings in the episode Long-Haired Hare got stuck in my head, a few days ago. And after kind of humming it quietly to myself, I came upon a sudden realization: I could look it up on the Internet!
I’ve never known the name of the song, and I’m not sure why it took me all this time to actually look the thing up. It’s been a bit of a mystery to me, and it’s silly to realize that I could have easily looked this up 5+ years ago.
Recreating a 1844 Photographic Print of Elizabeth Eastlake in Real Life: A Video Time-Lapse
Maisie Broadhead created this reproduction of a old, 1844 photographic print featuring Elizabeth Eastlake. It’s an amazing time-lapse video, and quite surprising how much work was involved in getting things to look “just right.”
17-20-23: Alex Dainis Lip-Syncs With Herself Over 6 Years
I happened to see this video making the rounds on the Internet today, when I realized… wait! I know that person!
Kinetic Rain: Art Installation Featuring 1,216 Individually Controlled Raindrops
Built by Berlin studio ART+COM, the Kinetic Rain sculpture at Changi Airport Singapore is composed of 1,216 individual rain droplets. Each one dangles by a thin, steel rope and is controlled by a computer and individual motor.
Robbie: A Short Film About An Aging Robot, Made From NASA Archival Footage
Set 6,000 years in the future, Robbie is an aging self-aware robot looking back on his life in the last moments before his battery life runs out.
Created by Neil Harvey, the film is composed entirely from over 10 hours of NASA archival footage. I’m not 100% on this, as I assumed there were some scenes that involved manipulation, but I think it’s almost all done through video from NASA.
A Conversation With My 12 Year Old Self
You’ve likely already seen this by now, but it’s a great bit of video editing by Jeremiah McDonald. As a kid, he created a video for his future self… and this video is him, talking with that younger version of himself.
A Monologue For Three
The guys from BriTANicK, trying ever so hard to remember the final lines to A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Seven Minutes of Terror: Landing on the Surface of Mars
Launched in late November of 2011, NASA’s Curiosity will be landing on Mars in the early days of August. This video shows team members, talking about the technical challenges they’ll need to overcome, to get the vehicle down safely to the ground.
The Manhattan Project: Beautiful, HD Time-Lapse Video
Created by Cameron Michael, The Manhattan Project is a wonderful bit of time-lapse video.
