There’s no real point to posting this video, other than I expected it to be stupid and then ended up watching a decent amount of it. Basically, the guy shapes a ginormous jawbreaker into a cup by way of a lathe. It’s not worth watching for the whole 13 minutes, but it’s worth a skim. The way the colored layers are revealed is kind of...

If there was ever a case to be made against Amazon.com, it would be that it allows this guy to buy the things he needs to make a homemade ‘chainsaw’ weapon out of steak knives and a handheld drill. I check this guy’s Youtube account from time to time, mainly to see if he’s still alive, and have to admit that there is a part of me that loves all of the homemade weapons he makes. Understand, though, that this is the same...

So I came across this video tonight, a perfectly odd plug for what will undoubtedly be a perfectly odd Wes Anderson film titled Moonrise Kingdom. For those who don’t know, Bill Murray – in real life – is a weird guy. Don’t get me wrong, I love him, but that doesn’t change the fact he’s a weird guy. So this video is sort of what I imagine hanging out with Bill Murray would be like. It’s funny,...

This is another great stop-motion animation by directed by Vincent Pianina and Lorenzo Papace. It is actually a music video for the song Østersøen by Papace’s band called Ödland. I love the antiquated look the video is able to pull off, and it fits well with the style of recording used for the song. It seems that music videos increasingly tend to distract from the music they’re accompanying, so it’s nice to see a band...

This kind of blew my mind when I saw it – a pedal-powered bicycle “Ferrari” called the Fahrradi Farfall FFX. Okay, “bicycle” probably isn’t the right word, and granted, once you take a closer look, it’s obvious that it isn’t a Ferrari. But all things considered, let’s just say they did wayyy better than I ever could have. It’s also sort of strange that I came across this, since it...

Again, I must apologize up front for the length of this video (it’s pushing nine minutes), but I can’t pass it up. It is a beautifully crafted stop-animation by UK-based animator Mikey Please, and the amount of work that went into it is just staggering. The figures were made out of a unique foam material that gives them an eerily polished look. The piece used over 115 different sets, and the lighting is some of the best...
