» Monty Python and the Holy Grail Modern Trailer

“What if ‘Monty Python and The Holy Grail’ would release in 2013 ?”
Sort of funny.

» Amazing Resonance Experiment!

“So this experiment is the Chladni plate experiment. I used a tone generator, a wave driver (speaker) and a metal plate attached to the speaker. First add sand to the plate then begin playing a tone. Certain frequencies vibrate the metal plate in such a way that it creates areas where there is no vibration. The sand “falls” into those areas, creating beautiful geometric patterns.”
This is kind of hypnotic.

» Kinetic Sand

“The sand that breathes motion!”
I’m not sure what that tag line means but this is one weird substance.

Bonus Video:

» BBC Science Club – Music

“Music – Short animation, which was part of the Science Club series on BBC2 hosted by Dara O Briain, © BBC.”

Happy Friday everybody. Have a great weekend.

“In a remote corner of New Zealand’s South Island, tucked away among the last remaining tracts of native forest, lies a little-known place of wonder. It is the life’s work and extraordinary creation of inventor, artist and self-confessed tinkerer, Blair Somerville.”
Some crazy work in here. Very nice.

» Nintendo audio played by player piano and robotic percussion

Very cool. Sent in by numerous subscribers.

Drone photography is an interesting development.

Bonus Video:

» Climate Name Change

“Since 1954, the World Meteorological Organization has been naming extreme storms after people. But we propose a new naming system. One that names extreme storms caused by climate change, after the policy makers who deny climate change and obstruct climate policy. If you agree, sign the petition at climatenamechange.org/#/petition”

Happy Friday everybody!

Friday the 13th – it’s actually your lucky day!

Videos ahead!! (Duck!)

» RIO

“I was lucky enough to be sent to Rio on assignment to shoot some 4K and 10K timelapse footage for a major electronics manufacturer. This video is a compilation of some of the footage I shot there.”
Time-lapse footage is still perhaps the default output of most people with shiny new cameras, but once in a while someone makes something like this and it’s still really beautiful.

» Danielle

“I attempted to create a person in order to emulate the aging process. The idea was that something is happening but you can’t see it but you can feel it, like aging itself.”
Quite the process went into making this short little video. Amazing.
And yes, this is hugely viral right now. Well worth it too.

» ASK A SLAVE Ep 1: Meet Lizzie Mae

“All questions and interactions are based on true events. Real Questions. Real Comedy. Learn more @ www.AskASlave.com”

I find this kind of thing fascinating.

Bonus Video:

This has been making the rounds – especially among my designer friends – and I think we’re all in agreement that whoever made this is a witch.
Truly amazing visual technology here.

Happy Friday everybody.

No kidding.
Suggested by Mark F.

» Get Clarity: Aish.com’s Rosh Hashanah Music Video

A fun little mashup.
