Posted on

It’s been a while since i’ve posted some ridiculous videos.  Vol 3 (HERE) were pretty good and i actually did a Vol. 3.5 post over the holidays.  Anyway, without any further delay, here’s Vol. 4.

This is what happens when you bring amateurs into sportscasting:

Iraqi War Video. Animation that's a little too real

Posted on

Yo, check this out. It’s a video about Army infantryman Colby Buzzell’s ambush in Mosul. This event actually happened and this video is produced by PBS. the video is based on a blog entry that Buzzell posted during his Iraq tour — he later wrote a memoir published in 2005 by Putnam — and it originally appeared on the PBS show Operation Homecoming.

Crazy stuff. Makes you really want the war to stop.

White Stripes Coke Commercial

Posted on

I’ve always been a White Stripes fan and i’m also quite a big fan of Michel Gondry.  I never thought either of them would sell out and make a Coke ad.  But the ad is really pretty cool.  The song in the ad is written by Jack White called “Love Is The Truth.” As the song goes, a young woman (who looks like Meg White) walks through a candy-like world where everyone and every animal leaves behind an image of himself or herself. The film is edited by Michel Gondry who i wrote about a few weeks ago (and posted a video of him doing the rubix cube with his feet).

Impressive Pong Skills

Posted on

While i’ll never truly endorse “Beirut” as a legitimate form of pong, i do have to give this guy a lot of credit. Or maybe i should feel bad for him with all the time he must have put in to make this happen. I wish i would have seen more consecutive sinks instead of 1-time shots b/c he could have just sat there for hours trying to get it to work. That said, they are good shots.

For those of you who care, i’m a much bigger fan of beer pong with paddles. This is a game that requires more skill, is more fun to play, and much higher stakes (i.e. more beer).

Say What Again

As many of you know, i love Pulp Fiction.  So does a student (Jarrett Moody) who is taking a Typography class.  For a project in the class he had to take a piece of audio from wherever (movie, song, poetry reading, answering machine) and then represent that audio on screen using only typography.

So, he took some dialogue from Pulp Fiction and made a pretty cool little short film.  Check it out here (link)
