Kilian Martin looks more than comfortable while taking his board around Barcelona in this short, but amazing freestyle skating video. I especially love the tricks involving multiple boards. Very impressive stuff.

This is like a moving DAIM or SYCO03 piece…only wilder and more tech-heavy. If I’m honest, it could use a tighter edit but don’t let that stop you from watching it all the way through cause the ending is pretty rad. As is the soundtrack by Christ. No, not that dude with the holes in his hands, this guy.

Those orchids are sexy, tricksy little minxes, I tell you.
Did you know that vanilla comes from orchids? Or that orchids are virtually immortal? It’s true (providing you take good care of them, of course). There are individual plants that are still alive today that were first brought to England in the 1800s. Whoa.
The above video is from the excellent BBC produced series ‘The Private Life of Plants’ hosted by none other than Sir David Attenborough.

Did you know that cuttlefish are super-smart invertebrates? In fact, out of all known animals without spines, they have the largest brain-to-body ratio.
FUN FACT: Sepia ink – made popular due to it’s wide use in photographic toning (also known as sepia tone) – was originally harvested from cuttlefish.

Between Bears is Eran Hilleli‘s graduation film from his time at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design. It’s stylish, haunting, contemplative and won the Animation Prize at Vimeo’s first film festival in New York City this past October. Here’s to a long, productive career, Eran…keep up the great work!

Dear Hollywood,
Please give Candas Sisman gobs of money so she can make a feature length movie with no dialogue and lots of visuals that look like this. Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,

There’s lots of stuff to say about this video – that it’s beautiful, enigmatic, warm, peaceful and ethereal (among many other hyperbolic adjectives) – but I just can’t get out of my mind what would be going through Mr. Claude Debussy’s mind when he saw what kind of visuals would be accompanying Claire de Lune in two-thousand and ten.

An oldie but a great-ie. (Ah, the internet, where something that was created last year can be considered ‘old’.) Cheers to Will Sweeney and Steve Scott for keeping the sacred art of the music video alive and well.

This gem was created as a real-time demo for PCs and the final code is comprised of only 4079 bytes of data. Insane. The video above (the ‘party version’) was created by Mitch Bucanon and I approve of his decision to back it with a haunting, ambient soundtrack. See the original video here.
