Awesome Videos

Tommy Edison, who has been blind since birth, has shown us how he cooks and what he sees; here, he responds to the popular request to draw various objects based on how he thinks they look. (Thanks Ben!)

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.

We thought this was pretty great, but then we saw Todd Edwards’ spectacular homage to 80’s movies and music in Story of the Running Wolf’s latest video. Limahl, Laura Branigan and A-Ha would be so proud. (Thanks Ben!)

Are we the only ones who have ever been in this predicament? The Awkward Spaceship has captured the essence of asking your significant other “what do you want for dinner?” here, in a single minute. (Thanks Sam!)

This compilation video (a GoPro camera tribute) is filled with excellent viewpoints from a variety of sports, which always manage to inspire us, as we sit inside, with the A/C on, typing this.

It’s officially summer and it’s like a steambath in the city, so watching all the superior wakeboarding footage in Parker Walbeck’s video for Devin Supertramp is cooling us off. And maybe making us a little jealous too.

There’s a lot of enveloping geometry to fall into in Eoin Duffy’s On Departure; the animated short is a very personal narrative centered around the loss of his younger brother, Emmet. Best watched full-screen with headphones on.

After reading contradictory press coverage about Williston’s oil boom, Colin Archdeacon and Skyler Swezy journeyed to North Dakota to find out what’s really happening. Good mix of interviews and befitting cinematography.

On all accounts, Philip’s life is in limbo – until he comes home one night to find his world turned upside down, which dispatches him on a journey of self-discovery in Jesse Coane’s Table for One.

Here’s to all the dads out there on Father’s Day – if you aren’t kicking back or out playing, we hope you’re having as much fun as Ronnie and his father are in this video. (Thanks Bryce!)

Commander Shepard’s persuasive voice carries over into this sketch from Sneaky Zebra – here, Mark Meer is trying to convince a guy to fight off the alien invasion with his trusty instrument. Alright, but is the plan crazy enough to work?

Young Eduard Taberner started his Sticky Man stop-motion animation project two years ago at age 15, and recently completed it. We admire his dedication and enjoy the simplicity and humor in his handmade drawings. Bravo.

When their flight is delayed, members of the Philadelphia Orchestra decide to break the boredom with a impromptu rendition of the last movement of Dvořák’s American Quartet. This stuff never happens to us. (Thanks Aetherion!)

Barcelona-based art direction collaborative Dvein have used their talents to create a surreal and stunning animated liquid landscape for Magma, the new single from The Vein.

A friendly jogger is a little too interested in guessing a fellow runner’s heritage in David Neptune and Ken Tanaka’s amusing video. Even funnier are the viewer comments read by the actors. Ever experienced this? (Thanks OKE!)

With the help of Pleated Jeans, we now know the difference between a man eating chicken and a man-eating chicken, thanks to this amusing and educational grammar lesson.

The music from Street Fighter 2 is the perfect backdrop for Vimeo user dantheadman’s foray into Cinema 4D, featuring colorful, swirling motion sculptures. (Thanks Tex!)

(NSFW: Language) It’s always amusing to us when we see someone flub some line or do something they shouldn’t be doing on live television. This compilation of international live news fails does the trick. (Thanks Dylan!)

80’s themes, energy drinks, zombies and MJ dance moves. Now that we’ve viewed this video by itinerant party planners Matinee, it’s still unclear what we’re watching, but it may be the greatest thing ever produced. (Thanks Mike!)

Holger Schubert’s museum-like garage may have won him praise from Maserati, but right now it is home to his main source of inspiration: a Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer. Petrolicious talked to Schubert about the car and its throne.

(NSFW: Language) The folks of The Lonely Island have put together a catchy tune that helps us understand the proper usage for semicolons. We’re still laughing trying to figure out if these examples are good or bad.

Dave Hax teaches us how to craft a clever mini bow and arrow out of common household items in this tutorial. We wonder if this is the weaponry the Brotherhood without Banners would use in mini Game of Thrones.

We’re curious to know what happened to Jeff Bliss, the student in this video who told his teacher his candid opinion of her teaching style and education in general. After watching, you might want an update too. (Thanks Josh!)
