Glas

Glas

An Oscar-winning documentary by Bert Haanstra, Glas is about the glass industry in the Netherlands during the 50s. It forgoes narration, opting instead to augment footage with music and quick camera cuts. A masterpiece.

Be More Dog

Be More Dog

A cat is sick of his dull home life, when he realizes it would be so much more fun to be a dog. An entertaining and uplifting commercial for UK mobile provider O2. Though we still have absolutely no idea what it has to do with them.

The Great R/C Battle

The Great R/C Battle

FinalCutKing follows up his R/C Action Chase with a wartime scenario involving tanks, planes and army men. It even has a cheesy soundtrack. The pilot’s encouraging words could not have come at a worse time.

The Collective Cadenza is working on a series of videos that are conceived of, rehearsed, and performed in less than one hour with songs currently hot in pop culture. We especially enjoy the festive horn section and Pharrell substitute.

Ressence Type 3 Watch Demo

Ressence Type 3 Watch Demo

You’ve seen it in pictures, now check out the Ressence Type 3 in action. It is without a doubt the most bizarre wristwatch we’ve ever seen; everything from its construction to how it’s adjusted is weird. More at KeepTheTime.

The dirt bike course equivalent of the bad subway step. Be patient with this one, we promise it won’t disappoint. At one point we started thinking that they were doing it intentionally. Hopefully no one was hurt.

Sometimes caffeine in your morning cup of joe isn’t enough to get you going. But we bet you’ll be wide awake if you crank up your speakers and listen to this recording of sound designer Diego Stocco fixing himself a cup of coffee.

In the 70s, elementary teacher Dale Irby accidentally ended up wearing the exact same shirt and sweater in his yearbook photo for two years in a row. Then his wife dared him to keep it up. His final tally? A 40-year streak.

Famous Last Words 2

Rhett & Link offer up another 25 statements that deserve a spot in the “worst ideas ever” file. Though we think sporks and Slurpee spoon-straws would be even less effective anti-ninja-zombie weapons.

An unusual vehicle made from sustainable materials, designers Kenneth Cobonpue and Albrecht Birkner’s car would have a woven skin, replaceable after it biodegrades. Not the most practical concept, but still visually striking.
