BNS: Only the Brave

This seems really interesting and a great idea.

"Only The Brave Foundation" from Brand New School on Vimeo.

Fruit of the Loom: New Tee

Anyone who can ride a horse in an apple outfit deserves our respect.

OK GO and the Muppets

I wish the Muppets were still on.  That show was incredibly raunchy for its time.

Rollerblade like a BOSS

So fast!

Greg Mirzoyan - Bombing down the salt mine in Poland. from Rollerblade on Vimeo.

87 Celebrity Impressions in 10 Minutes

Yes.  This is all awesome.

Inception Time with Finn and Jake

My two loves in one place.

Target: The Awesome Party

On a Target commercial kick apparently.  I love how in the dramatization ones the same people get used over and over again.

Target: Sabotaged Love

What's inappropriate is how awesome this commercial is.

Target: Triplets

School year in (an adorable) 30 seconds.

Target: Coach

A yearlong tug'a'war with the ceiling.  Sounds about right.  Target has such good commercials this year.

Target: 2nd Grade Teacher

This is my favorite.  So much glitter.  What an awesome teacher.

Target: Music Teacher

Denim!

EAT

One part of three pieces these guys did traveling.  This and the one below (MOVE), are my favorites.  They make me want to go places and do things.

MOVE

Beautifully done!

Mac n' Cheese

Haven't actually watched this yet, but  thought I'd post while it's loading.... so...

Mac 'n' Cheese from Mac 'N' Cheese on Vimeo.

Inception: Filming the Corridor and Zero Gravity Scenes

Face it.  That was the best part of the whole movie.  I got super excited just watching it again.  And the fact that they built that whole thing!!!

Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake

Not quite sure how I feel about their voices yet, but I sure know how excited I am to see the whole episode!

Harry Potter Friday Parody

YesYes YES!!!!  This is 8 directions of awesome.  Also, where did they get that snake?

Harry Potter Book of Mormon Parody

Working our way up to the Harry Potter Finale!

Making of: Think Big

haha, what a bunch of nerdy artists.  That is what i want to be.

o2 Think Big - Making of from Sehsucht™ on Vimeo.

Think Big

yeah.

Transforemers III vs. The Little Mermaid

If this were a movie, I would watch it.  Excellence embodied.

Matrix Lobby Scene with Acapella Multitrack

This movie was way too serious. 

Nyan Cat (Indian Bollywood Version)

Bollywood is the best.  It's like taking all the bad action seventies movies and making them musicals.  Automatic Awesome.

Sleepy Kitty Passes Out

If I didn't post at least one cat video, I would be failing you.  After all, what is the internet for except to find cat videos?

Anatomy of a Computer Virus

WATCH IT!!!  I know this looks boring, but it made the internet rounds for a reason.  It is both inspiring and terrifying.  The future of warfare is digital.

Stuxnet: Anatomy of a Computer Virus from Patrick Clair on Vimeo.

DixonBaxi Reel 2011

At first, the music made me sad.  But then, I was like, now I have hope!  Also, it was visually appealing.

Summer Cuts 2011

I am in love with Nathan Love.  Especially the NBC peacock.  ahahaha, I just watched it again.  Still funny.

Seattle International Film Festival or Students Investigate Freaky Forest!

SIFF 2011 Bumpers - Students Investigate Freaky Forest from Oh, Hello on Vimeo.

Brave

Pixar does, in general, a really good job with their movies.  Including the promotions.  However, I don't think anything will ever be as splendiferous as all the WALL-E previews that told you nothing about the actual movie, but made you want to see it nevertheless.

Bloom (Disney Remix)

I find this undeniably attractive.

Incepción Trailer

I never liked Dora the Explorer, but this is making me reconsider.

What?

You will never guess what this ad is for.  Ever.


Dirt Devil-The Exorcist from MrPrice2U on Vimeo.

Harry Potter

SO EXCITED.

Sky Diving Elite

This is amazing!  How do you control where you go?  Does any body know?

Ringarts

"This is not magic.  There is no trick."

Makoto Shinka: Neko No Shuukai

I imagine this is an accurate interpretation of just about every cat's life.

Harry Potter

I love Harry Potter.  The movies have been such a string of disappointments, but I can't help but love them.  I have literally grown up with Harry Potter.  What will fill the void when it's over?

Oh Gee Oh Why Or how to mastermind a nonsensical parade following a cock-a-hoop bestiary into the doors of infinity.

Fair warning!  It's Annecy time again, which is the film festival in France that Gobelins (the animation school) does A TON of animations for.  Be prepared for a whimsical, slightly ludicrous onslaught of animations. 

Grand Central

Hey, wow, that's nice.  Is that Gobelins?

Yes, yes it is.

Jazzin'

Gobelins.  Again. 

T-Mobile Angry Birds Live

This has made it's way around the internet a couple times already, so you've probably seen it before.  But every time I see it, I have to watch it, so I figured I might as well post it.  ....I want to do this.

Star Wars The Old Republic E3 2011 Trailer

I have expressed numerous times my love for Star Wars.  This game is so beautiful (except for the dialogue.  A little bit left to be desired there).  I am so excited. 

MOAR GIFS HAHA LOLZ!!

LOLZ I CAN POST GIFS

Dramatic Dwight

haha, I don't even like the office.

Is Tropical | The Greeks

This was extraordinarily disturbing and kinda slickly funny.  But the effects are lovely and clash adorably with the live action.

Out of Sight

This one is sweet, and heartwarming. 

Yuki 7

Some classy After Effects coming at ya here.

Looks That Kill - HD from Yuki 7 on Vimeo.

Animatope

I don't know what this is, but it's kind of cute.

Animatope from SPACE SHOWER TV on Vimeo.

Rango End Credits

I didn't see this movie, but I really like the soundtrack.  And the Owls.

Science and Awesome-ness

Need I say more?

F5 2011 RE:PLAY Film Festival. Inductance from Physalia Studio on Vimeo.

Dual Mix dance Free Step

I don't even know what the title of this video means, but I do know that the actual video is the point where adorable-ness meets epic-ocity.

Everything is a Remix: KILL BILL

Tarantino has a foot fetish.

COLOUR

The animation is so beautiful, but the poor panda is so sad!

TIJI "COLOUR" HD from AKAMA on Vimeo.

We're All in this Together

I have found a new love.  Three Legged Legs.  This is awesome.  THEY are awesome!  WE'RE ALL AWESOME!!!

Method Virgin "We're All in this Together" from three legged legs on Vimeo.

Einstein vs Stephen Hawking

I don't think this is really a contest.  But I'm pretty sure it's hysterical. 

Exprience Human Flight

Would you go skydiving?  I would.  So fast.  You're so high up, it's not like falling, really.  And if you die, which is unlikely, well, that seems like a fun way to go. 

On another note.  Slow motion is what people do when they have a stupid clip they need to look cool.  I have just ruined slow motion for you.  Even this clip, which is pretty cool to begin with, I hate a little bit because it is so much slow motion. 

Experience Human Flight from Betty Wants In on Vimeo.

Symmetry

It's symmetry and pairs and opposites and beautiful.  It makes me happy. 

The Stars on Facebook

Oh facebook.  You suck, but I can't seem to stop.

Altoids "Curiously Strong Awards" from Marc Ritzema on Vimeo.

What's a Girl to Do?

00:38 seconds in.  Magic.  Also, brilliant, cheap idea for a music video.

Frontier Psychiatrist

This is seven directions of crazy weird and a little twist of hysterical.

Look at Me Now

She talks SO fast.  I am impressed.

Storm

Maybe it's the hamlet she just misquote, or maybe it's fifth glass of wine I just mistook...  super funny.  some swears.

Bottles

hahaha, What...?

Bottles from toosh on Vimeo.

Seasame Street - Jude Law

We DO love you, Jude Law.

World's Greatest Criminal Mind

A blast from the past! Tidbit: Vincent Price is the voice of Ratigan!

Drunk Tilted Room Sketch

hahaha!  I lol'd so hard.

Tame the Wild

I don't know why I like this commercial so much.  But I do.

Mastercard - Birds of Tokyo

Lovely craft!

TLFS Montage

I am a sucker for montages with snappy music.  Beautiful graphics help, of course.

TLFS Montage from The Lifelong Friendship Society on Vimeo.

森の木琴

I hope this stays in the woods  and slowly rots away and some people stumble upon it by accident. 

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's Star Wars

I love Star Wars.  And I love Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.  Win-Win of Awesome-ness.

A Gentleman's Duel

Happy April Fool's!  this video has nothing to do with that.

Mrs. Peppercorn's Magical Reading Room

That's it.  I have found something new to fill the void that that the end of Harry Potter left.  This movie looks beautiful both visually and plot-wise.  And Mrs. Pepper corn is a lot older than Harry Potter which leaves me MANY years to live in denial about my own magical abilities.

Mrs Peppercorn's Magical Reading Room - Trailer from Black Lake Films on Vimeo.

Angry Birds The Movie

I kind of wish this were actually a movie. 

One Man Disney Movie

This guy not only sings all these parts himself, he is also an animator for Pixar.  That's not even fair.  Not. Even. Fair.

Classical Chicken

I love the Muppets.  They need to be a show again.

Love is Like Life but Longer

I wasn't actually going to watch this the whole way through, but then the music started and there was the quote about Love being before and after us and we just catch the middle of it, and then the TITLE.  How can you not love that title. 

Love is Like Life but Longer from Poppy de Villeneuve on Vimeo.

Sometimes the Stars

This is weepingly stunning and reminds me of the magnificent pluww's occasional style of preference. 

Sometimes the Stars from The Audreys on Vimeo.

(notes on) biology

You have to watch this until at least 3:00 minutes in when the main animated character develops his own theme song.  Also, it will remind you of every class, ever, in both middle and high school. 

(notes on) biology from ornana films on Vimeo.

Spend it Wisely

This is ridiculous.  That is all I can say about it.

Spend It Wisely from Markus Vad Flaaten on Vimeo.

Oscars Autotune

Not as cool as the Literal Tron Legacy trailer, but still pretty funny. 

Matrix Ping Pong

Um, Awesome.

Free Running Dog

There aren't even words for this.

Cravendale: Cats with Thumbs

Oh, that would be frightening.  Funny, but frightening.

TUI Weather Spot

Made with paper and a Canon Rebel.

TUI Weather Spot from Lucas Zanotto on Vimeo.

Pretty

I love Musicals.

Candy Corn in Space

NPR, gots to love it.  If you don't listen to Science Friday, you should because it is beautiful.  Also, you will here about crazy people like Don Pettit who builds balls of candy corn in space using a drop of water as a base.  This is mind blowingly awesome, plus, you can learn stuff from it.  Yes, that's right, candy corn in space is educational. 

I Own You

All I can think of when I see stop motion is, Sweet Bananas, that looks time consuming. 

Wax Tailor feat. Charlie Winston " I Own You" by Romain Chassaing from SoLab on Vimeo.

Drive on Chairs

I want a car that is scooter size.  Or maybe I just want a motorcycle.

Wake Up People

Whoa.  Going old school.  I am that person who falls asleep like that. 

Imported from Detroit

Holler to Detroit.  I'm Michigan born and bred.  Visit (the zoo is great).  And if it's after dark and late, you won't get arrested for simply yielding at stop signs or traffic lights, because if you come to a complete stop in an empty street, you will get car jacked.  Oh, and the Fox Theatre is gorgeous. 

Snickers: Grocery Store Lady

Get ready for a Snicker's commercial assault.

Snickers: Focus Group

Sharks are my number two fear.  Right after zombies. 

Snickers: Logging

Are there any not funny Snicker's commercials? 

Release the Hounds

Great Goodness!  I've been hoodwinked!

Volkswagen: The Force

I have been remiss in my superbowl commercial postings.  I apologize. On another note, I still pretend to be a Jedi with automatic doors.

Travel in Time: Raving Rabbits

Silly Rabbits.  They would time travel in a washing machine.  Or is that a dryer?

RAVING RABBIDS TRAVEL IN TIME from AKAMA on Vimeo.

Travel in Time: Christopher Columbus

What do you think of when you see a wheel?  Casino games is the correct answer. 

TRAVEL IN TIME / Christophe Colomb from AKAMA on Vimeo.

The Saga of Bijorn

This is the funniest, most amazing, best video I have ever posted.  WATCH IT.  The style is slendiferous.  The story is fantazmagoric.  I hate to say it, but I seriously lol'd. 

The Saga Of Biorn from The Animation Workshop on Vimeo.

Between Two Points

This creeped me out a little bit.  But I think I like it.

Between Two Points from motiphe on Vimeo.

Hooked

I could think of nothing but Finding Nemo due to the music. 

Hooked from Character Matters on Vimeo.

Come Home to the Simpsons

Nice.  Although it does come across as rather European.  Maybe because of the cars?

Come Home To The Simpsons from devilfish on Vimeo.

MINECRAFT: The Last Minecart

I dont understand the thrill of Minecraft.  But I love zombie movies and cardboard boxes, so this video is a win.  Stick around at least until you see them attack the zombies.  There's some nice graphics. 

SyFy House of Imagination 2

I love me some SyFy. 

Fast Lane - The Shopping Cart

I want this. 

ESO ALMA Antenna Time Lapse

If you have never been somewhere with zero light pollution, go.  Find somewhere and go.  And I don't mean someplace like a camp site.  I mean in the middle of nowhere.  It is so beautiful.  You can't even realize how many stars there are. 

Loading a Train

I know nothing of this place, but I want to go just to try to jump onto this train. 

Real Lif Mario Kart!

This is ridiculously well done and makes me want to play Mario Kart.

This Train is Very Close to Things

If it went juuust a little slower, the people on the train could buy stuff too. 

Growing is Forever

I love trees.   Just love them. 

Growing is Forever from Jesse Rosten on Vimeo.

Perils of Love

So cute!

Lynx Excite - "Fallen Angels"

What was that illegal perfume in "Anchorman"?  Puma Musk? Tell me that is not what Lynx Excite made you think of and I will call you a liar. 

Unrelated: Through a series of events I was only partially in control of, Axe ended p in my mouth.  It kind of turned me off the stuff.  (It doesn't help that they all smell like Puma Musk.)

Lynx Excite - "Fallen Angels" from Chris Watling on Vimeo.

Google Art Project

Rant warning:  Okay, so I love art museums, but the recent fad of placing one picture per wall totally depresses me.  I need to be overwhelmed by art awesomesauce.  Also, if I look at the same thing for more than ten minutes, my eyes will melt.  Also, this project, like much of what Google does looks brilliant and awesome.  Also, some museums are against this because they say it will destroy their revenue, but most of this art has exceeded the copyright limitation laws and is therefore public domain. Also.

Photoshop Tutorial Rap

Every Photoshop class should be like this.  Command C! Command C!

Chess Clay Stop Motion

It's wizard chess!

I'm A Monster

I love everything about this production company!  GAh! so cool... Their demoreel is here.

VFX Demoreel 2010

The creation story at the end is awesome. 

Kinect

If I had a Kinect, I would put a camera above it and record everyone who played it.  It makes you look like a fool.

Axe: Tiens-toi prêt !

So those French know what they're doing.

Metronomy - A Thing for Me

So Metronomy is in today, apparently.  This was another iTunes free download of the week.  I'm telling  you, jump on that boat.

Metronomy - She Wants

So Metronomy does cool stuff.  This one is a ridiculous mixture of stop motion, freeze frame, reverse, and guys in black.  Hard to go wrong with a mix like that.

METRONOMY - She Wants - by JUL & MAT from JUL & MAT on Vimeo.

A Fair(y) Use Tale

This is important kids, pay attention.  We all love Disney, BUT THEY WILL EAT YOUR SOUL IF YOU SHOW THEM WEAKNESS. 

Time Bomb

I posted Chris Graf's fx demo reel already.  I want to have his babies. 


Timebomb from Chris Graf on Vimeo.

Swedbank Under the Oak Tree

No school like the old school.

Swedbank Under the Oak Tree: Making Of

If you watch how they made these puppets and sets, then the commercial is even cooler.  I promise!

Adventure Time Opening Sequence

Complete with an interview with Pendleton Ward, who is even cooler than his name implies!!!

SPACE HOPPERS in VENICE

Nothing sums this video up better than what the photographer said. 

"We decided to go to Venice, one of the most scenic cities in the world, and romantic, and what's more romantic than whizzing around the alleyways and canals on space hoppers?"

SPACE HOPPERS in VENICE from bayougirl on Vimeo.

KE$HA + Star Wars

Is it bad that the first time I heard this song was when I saw this video? (like 2 years ago)

30 Motion Tests in 30 Seconds

Ha. Motion graphics.  You're so cool.

Oktapodi

So I reference this in the next post, but I hadn't posted it.  Such a disgrace. And by Gobelins, of course.

Hezarfen

Maybe it's just me, but this reminds me a bit of Oktapodi (see above).

Hezarfen from Hezarfen on Vimeo.

Morning Elegance

This is old but still amazes me.  Also, it was an iTunes free download of the week before it got super popular.  Sign up for that.  Its worth it.

What You Know

This has gorgeous dance and smashing editing.  Just a few of my favorite things.

Juice to the Moon

Awesome, not just because of the drum line music and the last little balls to the walls comment. 

2011 Montage from Chris Kelly on Vimeo.

Mother Knows Best

I wish I had enough hair to build a fort out of.  But not really. 

Inspirational Unoffcial NASA Commercial

Space.  The Final Frontier.  This video gives me goosebumps and hope.

Created by NASA fan and YouTube user, damewse. - "I got frustrated with NASA and made this video. NASA is the most fascinating, adventurous, epic institution ever devised by human beings, and their media sucks. Seriously. None of their brilliant scientists appear to know how to connect with the social media crowd, which is now more important than ever."

So we've already established that Hunter Gatherer is pretty awesome.  This cements that fact.

I, personally, was expecting a cockney accent.
