I just watched this video from filmmaker Sam O’Hare that he made while at Coachella Music Festival in the Spring. The stop motion, birds eye, style of this video really messes with your sense of scale. You’re watching this massive festival with thousands of people, but it makes you feel like you’re looking at one [...]

/Barbra Streisand (music video) Duck Sauce/ Turntablists Armand Van Helden and A-Track, AKA “Duck Sauce,” have only been releasing music for a year, but already individually have sold a resume of bangers under their belts.  The video for “Barbra Streisand” is an accomplishment in its own right, capturing the spirit of New York, in which [...]

The other day Google put out this bizarre video to hype their location-based mobile search engine, but at 10 minutes long, it’s hard to believe most people would sit through the whole thing. I…almost did. But it’s worth checking out for the hidden humor throughout the whole video. My favorites from when I skipped to [...]

The latest branded viral video win goes to Gillette for putting out this amazing trick shot demonstration with Roger Federer. The company claims the footage was captured in one take during a real commercial shoot with the British Skin Foundation. Somehow Roger manages to knock a water bottle off a guy’s head not once, but [...]

Today I watched the Twitter movie trailer, a parody of the upcoming Facebook movie that tells the story of the popular website’s young founders. It seemed crazy to me at first to have a feature film about Facebook’s roots when it’s not that old of a company. Maybe a documentary – but a glorified, big [...]

We had this very cool video sent to us today and couldn’t help but notice the strong presence of the Vitamin Water brand. The amazing dancing is clearly the reason this video has received close to 170k views, but Vitamin Water is in frame long enough to make you wonder if they were involved. However, [...]

We’ve gone out to Flip’s user base to see what kinds of clips they have, and I wanted to share one of the better ones we’ve received. It’s a little [...]

Futurists, tech-bloggers and assholes are always harping on about what’s next in technology. One year, it’s virtual world social networks. Remember in 2007 how we were all going to be on Second Life within 6 months? Didn’t happen. It was a good story, but it didn’t happen. The year before that, we were going to [...]
