R/C Helicopter Physics

R/C Helicopter Physics

This video kicks off Smarter Every Day’s series of lessons about the helicopter physics, but it quickly turns into a lesson in R/C flying skills which seemingly defy physics and reason.

Superman vs. Hulk Fan Battle

Superman vs. Hulk Fan Battle

Superman already beat the Hulk in DC vs. Marvel, but there’s nothing like seeing a battle unfold in video. Plus Michael Habjan’s Superman looks better than the ’96 Supes. First video here.

Steampunk Corkscrew

Steampunk Corkscrew

Rob Higgs knows how to open a bottle of wine like a boss. Using hundreds of bronzed metal springs, gears and other parts, he built this incredible machine to uncork and pour a bottle of wine.

Confrontation Mashup

Confrontation Mashup

Violence is never the answer, but filmmakers sure know how to make it look purty. Patrick Péris wonderfully builds up the tension and lets the blood, bullets and bombs fly in this 49-film mashup.

Arachnophobes look away! Cyriak fills our screens (and worst nightmares) with an endless barrage of animated spiders crafted from circuit boards, human heads, and other stuff. Get the Raid!

Toy Shining

Toy Shining

Kyle Lambert used his iPad to storyboard Toy Story 3 characters into classic scenes from The Shining. Awesome enough to get an invite from Pixar to bring them to the studio. (Thanks David!)

Avengers x Friends

Avengers x Friends

A clever mashup that introduces the members of The Avengers using the intro sequence of Friends. The cast is a sausage party though. If this was real all episodes would be about who gets Black Widow.

Coffee Cup Stain Painting

Coffee Cup Stain Painting

We’ve seen OhiseeRED use a basketball to paint. This time she uses a coffee cup, making ring-shaped stains to paint a portrait of Taiwanese pop star Jay Chou. It took her 12 hours to finish it.

Parallel Parking with Style

Parallel Parking with Style

Keep a close eye on the white car in front as its driver makes a ballsy move to snag a parking spot on the other side of the street. The soundtrack perfectly underscores the driver’s style and grace.

James Cameron’s Deep Sea Dive

James Cameron’s Deep Sea Dive

In a high-tech submarine armed with 3D cameras, the director is diving solo 36,000 ft. down to the deepest point on Earth. No man has been in 50 years, and they couldn’t see through the silt.

Super Cafe: Bat Phone

Game of Thrones Kids Sing

Game of Thrones Kids Sing

Hidden in the commentary track of Episode 3 of the Season 1 disc is this little gem, in which the actors who portray the Stark children sing the theme song A Capella. Listen now, before HBO yanks it down.

Arthur and the Nautilus

Arthur and the Nautilus

Musician Arthur van Poppel has invented a variety of odd vehicles for his one-man-band act, but our favorite has to be The Nautilus, a steampunk craft inspired by Jules Verne. Plus, it shoots flames.

Fresh Guacamole

Fresh Guacamole

A clever stop motion short that plays on idioms and homonyms. PES made Fresh Guacamole for Showtime’s Short Stories as a follow up to his award-winning short Western Spaghetti.

Red Moon

Red Moon

The story of Captain Alexei Ovechkin, submarine commander and hapless vervulf werewolf. A funny and offbeat short film by Sirocco Research Labs, as irresistibly endearing as Wes Anderson’s films.
