I’ll Be Gone: Subdued, Synchronized Music Video
Apparently, this is two years old… but the first time I’m seeing it. I’ll Be Gone is a music video by Rimantas Lukavicius (KORB), who did all the CGI work. [via MetaFilter]

The TV Show: Impossibly Meta Music Video Animation
The TV Show, a music video by Sugimoto Kousuke, is a sight to behold. What starts off as separate scenes slowly combines to produce an incredibly frenetic, fast-paced blur that will have you slowly smiling (and will have your jaw slowly dropping) over the course of 3 minutes. Stellar stuff. [via MetaFilter]
We Are All Connected: Autotune Video, Featuring Carl Sagan, Richard Feynman, Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson
This makes me feel so good, it’s hard to describe. It’s the same feeling I got when I saw Discovery Channel’s “I Love the Whole Word” video – it’s a deep down, core, to-my-toes kind of good feeling. I have a deep respect for Carl Sagan, thanks to my old college roommate Jim. And hearing…
China’s 60th Anniversary National Day – Timelapse and Slow Motion
This video is by Dan Chung, a staff photographer for The Guardian. Chung also has a site called DSLR News Shooter that serves as a place for photographers to share examples and discuss working with HD DSLR cameras. A lot of the DSLR News Shooter site is way over my head, in terms of the…
Clay Shirky Video: How Technology is Shaping Groups and Conversations
I’ve just spent the past 20 minutes totally sucked in to this video of Clay Shirky, talking about the ways technology and the Internet are changing the way we communicate. Here’s a taste: “What matters here isn’t technical capital, it’s social capital. These tools don’t get socially interesting until they get technologically boring. I tisn’t…
I-Movix SprintCam v3: HD Slow Motion Video, Over 1000 Frames Per Second
This video by David Coiffier made the rounds last month, but bears viewing if you haven’t seen it. I’m not exactly sure on the specs of the video camera, but it seems that the Rugby shots were one at 1000 fps (frames per second), and the red jelly was done at 2500 fps. What I…
Bathtub IV: Delightful Tilt-Shift Video with Helicopter
I’m not one who generally gets all hot and excited by tilt-shift stuff, but this particular video successfully won me over. At first, watching it I was thinking “ok, this is nice, this is neat.” But when the subject matter shifts to the Westpac Rescue Helicopter (around 1:02), it becomes an entirely different video. And…
Live Stage Version of Star Trek Episode: Spock’s Brain
Using some sketches and a whole hell of a lot of persistence, Mike Carano convinced all the necessary Paramount studio execs (as well as Nimoy and Shatner) to let him stage a live version of the Star Trek episode Spock’s Brain. The result? A whole lot of live action awesomeness. The timing of the cast…
News Anchors Dance During Commercial Breaks: WGN’s Robert Jordan and Jackie Bange’s Two Minute Drill
WGN-TV news anchors Robert Jordan and Jackie Bange have a little routine they do, during their first commercial break. What began as a 10 second dance morphed into a fully choreographed 2:40 routine. Apparently, this happens each time they go on air, during the first commercial break. Hysterical. [via Gapers Block and Chicago Tribune] //…
Take on Me: Literal Version
This had my nearly crying. Too good, and had to share. [via]
CNN Concatenated: Amazingly Edited Video, by Omer Fast
A while back, I came across an art piece by Omer Fast entitled “CNN Concatenated.” It’s a stitchwork of different anchors on CNN, each speaking one word snippets. The overall effect is both mesmerizing and super-creepy, in an Orwellian Fortune Teller sort of way. It’s a bit like found poetry, but using video. The version…
Akon Calls T-Pain: Funny Vocoder-riffic Animation
I watched this twice, and laughed hard both times. Ever since, I’ve not been able to get the “Butternut Reduction” melody out of my head. [via]
I Love the Whole World: Discovery Channel Ad That’s Just Awesome
This absolutely made my morning. [via]
The Bridge
I recently watched a documentary entitled The Bridge, and it absolutely took my breath away. The film is about San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, and the people who go there to jump, to end their lives. In 2004, the director and crew spent an entire year on site, filming the bridge… and many of the…
