Awesome videos of the week
An interesting collection this week, beginning with one that is near and dear to every geeks heart. What if George Lucas was born twenty or thirty years earlier? And what if Star Wars came out in the 50′s?
Here’s what you might get.
Nature is an awe inspiring and amazing thing. And people should realize this already. While I’ve never actually seen massive hail stones fall from the sky, I have read about it a lot. These people in this video have never seen it up close either. Well, I guess they have now. From the comfort of their house, they watch baseball sized hail bombard a swimming pool. Excuse the “oh my god” and “this is insane” and “I’ve never seen this before” every five seconds.
Birthdays are awesome. Getting a surprise birthday party, even better. Being a Danish bus driver and your employer arranges a surprise birthday party for you while driving your route… priceless!
The group Improve Everywhere has done some pretty awesome things, all to make people laugh and smile. This is no different when they take to doing Ghost Busters cosplay to the next level in the New York Public Library. The reaction of the bystanders is priceless when the ghosts walk in to “check out some books”.
This one’s made the rounds already a few times. But, it’s a cat. And I can’t have a video post without a cat.
I can see the captions now: Suckling – yer doin’ it wrong. Suckling kitteh is suckling.
I remember GnR way back in the day, when Appetite for Destruction was getting more reviews for potty mouth than actual musical cred. Guess potty mouth helped, because AfD scored a lotta sales and has gone down in history as a (I can’t believe I’m saying this) classic. But this just in (I also can’t believe I’m saying this), GnR shoulda had Fergie as their lead singer. Really!
Finally this week, from the Vancouver Film School, a wonderful short animation. Check VFS Youtube channel out sometime.
This was created by Vancouver Film School student Patrick Biason through the VFS Sound Design for Visual Media program. Visual Media provided by Blur Studio.
Awesome videos of the week
Every single day, I find the most interesting videos. So, I thought this weekend, I’d start showing these videos off. Keep in mind, they are not mine. These are some of the best.
Iceland, Eyjafjallajökull – May 1st and 2nd, 2010 from Sean Stiegemeier on Vimeo.
I liked this one because I’ve always liked time lapse photography. And being of the recent eruption of Eyjafjallajökull (I know how to spell it, not how to pronounce it) shows nature at her most destructive, and at her most awe inspiring.
I’m big on different takes on pop culture, and while I’m not a big fan of death metal, persay, I do like what Eddie Kim has done, covering Ke$ha’s Tik Tok.
Titled Ke$ha – Tik Tok reimagined by Billboard Death Metal with special guest Sean Dusoe, it’s actually pretty well done. Check out Eddie’s other cover tunes, all popular pop tunes redone as death metal.
There is no end of cute (or kittens for that matter) on the Internet. This definitely caught my eye.
Everybody go AWWWWWW! Also, it’s kittens. On a slide. All arguments are invalid.
I really think that a reality TV show about dancing with superheroes has to be made.
Spider-man totally has the moves.
There are those that are incredibly gifted gymnasts. Then there are those people who are so filled with awesome. Just like Damien Walters.
I only wish I was able to move like that.
Last, but not least, extreme sheep herding. This is awesome.
Those are videos that caught my eye this week.
Until next time…
…keep ‘em flyin’!
