Blind Ear Music’s Wi-Fi Symphony is remarkable not just because it’s run wirelessly via a system of laptops; the composer is dynamically creating music using real musicians in real-time.

Men have pined and puzzled over women since time immemorial, a plight made all the more poignant by Virgile: it’s a retro-styled animated short film about being out of your league.

This Desperate Measures trailer for Halo 3: ODST shows why Nathan Fillion should narrate every game trailer: it’s a down-to-earth breakdown of the characters, weapons and story.

It may look orchestrated, but Bobby McFerrin is demonstrating how people intuitively sing notes on the pentatonic scale, using little more than his jumping to dictate relative pitch.

This Der Riese trailer for Call of Duty: World at War’s Nazi Zombies map is filled with cheesy one-liners and set to hideous music, but makes up for it with unadulterated undead mayhem.

Don’t tase me, bro x 6: the TASER Shockwave is massive six-shot remote area denial device with a 20 degree arc and 25 foot range; in other words, it’s a gatling gun that fries.

I Sell The Dead flips the whole undead genre on its head with two grave robbers making a profit off zombies and vampires; it stars Ron Perlman and LOTR’s Dominic Monaghan.

Munching on brains is hard work: employees at Japan’s Ultimate Horror Maze are seen above in a Zombie Boot Camp, after reports that they were no longer scary enough.

Getting abducted by aliens tends to ruin your day, but this B-movie style trailer for Fallout 3’s final DLC, Mothership Zeta, promises the game will go out with an out-of-this-world bang.

EVE Online has been around for awhile, but this Butterfly Effect trailer does a brilliant job explaining its emergent, sandbox-style gameplay; that, and it’s a feast for the eyes.

Shown at SDCC ’09, this official trailer for Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 may not show anything new, but does a great job as a highly energetic and visual who’s who of the Marvel universe.

In theaters 11/13/09, this Fantastic Mr. Fox trailer feels like Oceans Eleven, appropriate considering it stars George Clooney (along with Bill Murray, Owen Wilson and Willem Dafoe).

This Extreme Anti-Smoking Ad starts off like any health public service announcement, but really takes its shock value premise to its cold, logical (some would even say robotic) extreme.

We’re big supporters of the Corps, but this Marines trailer for Aliens vs. Predator (due out next year on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 36) shows just how hopelessly outmatched they are.

Stephen Hobley wowed us with his Laser Harp, but it gets better: he’s hacked it to work with open-source Guitar Hero clone Frets on Fire, appropriately dubbing it Laser Harp Hero.

The three little pigs don’t stand a chance: BBC One’s Bang Goes The Theory builds a gas-powered Vortex Cannon (basically an air gun) and pits it against straw, wood and brick facades.

Tom Jodd’s arduino-powered Eyebrow Hat is goofiness in the name of science: it’s run by an array of servos and potentiometers that adjust the pitch and height of the eyebrows.
