If you’re at a party or at a bar or at a club or on the street or just living this thing we called life, you should probably never ever say these pick up lines. They’re cringe-inducingly awful. They make you consider asexuality. They make you want to never meet new people again. More »
All hail the hypno-box! This psychedelic short film by Calvin Frederick of CalArts surprisingly uses zero CGI or other special effects. He instead relies on a Canon 5D mounted in a motion-control rig, a programmable LED board, and mirroring to create this kaleidoscopic mania. More »
This animation, called The Future by Alex Goddard, is pretty much perfect. Everything is going to hover. In fact, I won’t believe we’re in the future until more things start hovering. My favorite part of the clever animation was when hoverboards are still only ‘coming soon’. [Alex Goddard Vimeo] More »
Indie-electrorock group, Astro, is kind of a big deal. Already one of the most popular bands in their native Chile since forming in 2008, Astro’s summer 2012 debut album arrived to heapings of praise by the New York Times and NPR. The band has even received invites to play some of the biggest music festivals in North America, including SXSW. More »
Caleb Wood was walking through Yoyogi Park in Japan recently and noticed that the heaps of excrement from a local murder of crows that coated the walkway (btw, ew) also created a poopy Rorschach Test. So he did what, really, any of us would have done: he whipped out his camera, snapped some crow crap close ups, and animated the results. [Cartoon Brew] More »
If you’re looking for an Internet anthem, here it is: a Journey – Faithfully parody that soulfully expresses it love for its favorite Internet memes. It’s pretty much what we all do on the Internet every day, in song. Which means looking at picture of animals, watching silly videos, GIF crawlin’ and guffawing to Impact font memes. More »
I don’t like riding roller coasters because I’m a big weenie when it comes to mechanical excitement. But I have no problem believing that I would ride these ridiculously thrilling (and totally fake) roller coasters from the Centrifuge Brain Project. The first roller coasters in the video start off harmless enough that you could believe they’d be real but when you keep watching the mockumentary you’ll see rides that look more like execution machines than anything you’d see at Six Flags. I would totally ride these rides (and have a heart attack and pee in my pants and vomit all over everybody). More »
Floating through dream-like landscapes, this surreal short is not the time-lapse video it first appears. In fact it’s not a video at all. Vimeo contributor Mustardcuffins overlaid, then peeled off hundreds of still images to create the serene visual effects of Turner. As more and more stills are removed, the scenes appear to fade with the dying light. More »
