Month: August 2018

Happy Friday!

And where I am right now: it’s hot!

It’s video time…

Artist Tattoos Portraits In Computer Code

This is Cyprus-based tattoo artist Andres Vrontis, creating, basically “ASCII art” tattoos on people’s bodies.

The meticulous nature of this is impressive.

More info here.

The Tables

“A look at the powerful connection between a pair of outdoor ping pong tables in the heart of New York City and the unlikely group of people they’ve brought together, from homeless people to investment bankers to gangbangers.”

A great little short documentary. Nicely done.

Whack World

Tierra Whack and filmmakers Thibaut Duverneix and Mathieu Léger create a mini-concept-album… film… thing, consisting of 15 songs that last a minute each.

Available for purchase here.

There’s Waldo is a robot that finds Waldo

Short but sweet. Making the rounds. Awkwardly funny.

And that’s that! Woo! We did it! Videos! On a Friday! U! S! A!

Have a great weekend everybody.

Hey look it’s Friday!

And Friday Videos.

And stuff.

Here we go!

Happy Friday!

How a Dutch Gangster was Betrayed by His Sister | The Backstory | The New Yorker

This is a crazy, harrowing story.

There is an accompanying long read as well.

Fire In Cardboard City

A very, very clever animated short film by New Zealander Phil Brough.

This is one of the most ingenious short animated films I’ve seen in ages.

JENKEM – Matt Tomasello AKA “Rodney Mullen on Bath Salts”

“Matt Tomasello already scarred skateboarders with his last Fancy Lad part, but this time he came back with even more bootleg board contraptions and deranged tricks to permanently ruin the activity altogether.”

It starts off simply enough, but then…. ?!?!?!!?

This is making the rounds but it’s also kind of bewildering. I like it.

Real-Life HUMAN Zoetrope

This was sent to me by so many subscribers that I think most of you probably already saw it, but here it is. 🙂

What’s a Zoetrope? Here’s a good primer from Pixar.

Have a great Friday and a lovely weekend.

Happy Friday!

And it’s August! But you knew that. 🙂

The 100 Best Tv Episodes Of The Century

[self explanatory]

This is maybe more of a multimedia installation than purely a “video” but here it is.

Definitely worth the deep dive. This is an impressive array of choices, and it includes some (to me) really unexpected features.

Inside The Rhapsody – Queen (Full Documentary)

This is from the Official Queen YouTube channel and goes really, really indepth on the writing, arranging, recording and mixing process for this iconic rock masterpiece.

GoPro Awards: Epic Cloud Cave Wingsuit in Fusion Overcapture

Wingsuit daredevils still blow my mind, but then you see this and think… how many tries did they have in capturing all of this?

So amazing.

Making the rounds.

Djent 2018

This is YouTube musician Jared Dines performing on an Ormsby “Djent”… instrument. It’s an 18-string (essentially) multi-guitar.

I mean good for him! 🙂 I can’t see this becoming a widespread trend. Some pretty creative performance ideas here.

Full Metal Jacket – AAAAAAAA (country song)

uhhhh… more like a dance floor stomper than a “country song.”

Short enough that I played it twice. Nicely done!

Ta daaaa! Friday Videos.

Have a great August weekend. I’ll see you in a week.
