Beyond what eyes can see

Sometimes we need help to see things that our naked eyes can’t see… either because they are too big, too small, too dark or move to fast.
The first video is about stars and was filmed using stop motion.

The second is about fast small things… vibrations!


Queen Mary 2 in stop-motion

Its been a almost two years since I enjoyed a trip onboard Cunard‘s Queen Mary 2 through the norwegian fjords, but I stumbled upon this video which was a nice reminder. Although not much of the cruiser is visible, it is an interesting take.

 

 

Cheers,

Too many coincidences?

A few days after the 9/11 anniversary, it happens to be also the anniversary of the Death Star explosion ;)

Too many coincidences is it not?

Superheroes Bollywood style!

As you should know, India has the biggest movie production industry in the world, nicknamed Bollywood, which produces every year hundreds of movies where everybody dances and sings. So, what happens when you combine Bollywood with classic comic superheroes Superman and Spiderman Spidergirl? Yes, something dreadful and disturbing…
Through Juan’s ‘recommendation’ I reached this video of just that… a part of an Indian movie that shows Superman and ‘Spidergirl’ flying around, singing, dancing and of course saving the world from evil!
What I know of the movie is little (although I don’t really want to know more!)… according to Divya, it is around 40 years old and the insightful lyrics are:

“Tu Mera Superman, Main Teri Lady, Ho Gya Hain Apna Pyar Already”
(English translation: You are my Superman, I am your lady; I have fallen in love with you already)

Caution: might cause irreparable brain damage! :P


Slow-mo punching!

Well, through Dvorak’s blog I found this interesting video… and yes, just in case you were wondering, I do love slow motion videos hehe.


All I need

Radiohead and MTV Exit version of “All I need”.


Expanding the limits of creativity!

Björk’s new video for the song Wanderlust of the album Volta has just been released… it is (in my humble opinion) a groundbraking video, and following Björk’s tradition it will make you either love it or hate it, but its hard not to notice it.

Not wanting to spoil it for whomever hasn’t seen it, I won’t say much about it, but I really recommend it. I personally liked it a lot, and yes, when you see it the first thing that comes to your mind is “What the hell did they smoke to make that??”. Well, as it turns out, they didn’t smoke anything… they just had some mushrooms ;) Yes, you read that right hehe. The video was made by the duo Encyclopedia Pictura and as they stated in this interview by the NY Times, they did have some shrooms to write the video. What makes me wonder… is it ethical to create such innovative ‘art’ by using illegal aids? Its like going to the olympic games but on steroids don’t you think?

In any case, I think the video is great. You can watch it below from YouTube but I really recommend watching it HERE at a much higher resolution.

Enjoy (or not!)
