Gravité Showcases Gravity

Done by Renaud Helée, Gravité is a simply done but awesome video that showcases different objects falling synchronized to rhythm. It’s really cool to see how the different objects interact with each other and the floor. (Found on One Cool Thing A Day)

Sweet Stop-Motion Skateboarding Video

This is a fantastically done stop-motion video of people skate boarding,a subject matter that I honestly didn’t think would look so cool when done up in stop-motion. (Found on One Cool Thing a Day)

I’ve Gotta Feeling…Like This Night Wasn’t Such A Good Night (Obvious Parody)

Brilliant parody done up by Collegehumor as part of their Collegehumor Originals series. The now classic party song, I Gotta Feeling, by Black Eyes Peas, while catchy, is honestly one of the most repetitive and annoying songs I’ve ever heard. This parody of it however, rocks!

Paint A Fiery Picture

Flame is a painting program that allows you to use a complex flame style brush that is constantly adjusting for speed and position with a touch of randomness to create visually mesmerizing images such as the one above. I highly recommend playing around with it, whether you’re an artist or not. (Found on The Awesomer)

Lumitectura

A well done video that uses a stop-motion video shot between 2 and 6 pm in conjunction with 50 different masks to create a visually stunning video paired with excellent music to give you a great example of how music, light and architecture can come together in harmony and blow your mind.

I Want To Go See The Rugby Sevens….It Looks Like a Lot Of Fun!

Breathtaking Time-lapse Of The Milky Way

Congrats to Charles Leung for his first time-lapse video of the Milky Way as seen from Hawaii. Shot using a Canon 5D MK2 camera, the video is in stunning HD quality that leaves you awe-inspired and really really small. (Found on Gizmodo)

Another Brilliantly Done Tilt-Shifted Video: Sandlot

Being a fan of tilt-shifted videos and photography, I can watch stuff like this for a very long time and they will still never cease to amaze me. The effect is just so amazing.

Night Photography Looks Eerily Beautiful

I am a huge fan of photography that causes you to pause and just stare into a photo. It can be for many reasons, maybe the photography is doing something different with the subject, with the lighting, or focus. In this case, photographer Jakob Wagner has used long exposure times to create some stunning pictures in his series, Nightscapes. Photographing in Cape Town, Amsterdam and Neustift, Wagner creates a stark contrast between the bright distant cities and the calm empty natural landscape. (Found on The Coolist)

I Can’t Believe It’s Not…Real?

No really…the video above (which I strongly urge you to view in glorious HD straight from vimeo’s site), is not real. It is completely CG (computer generated). It is just way to photo-realistic for me to comprehend that someone managed to get the lighting so absolutely spot-on. Just crazy.
