In a world run by CGI and photoshop, this "old school" creativity plays like a breath of fresh air.

Gnarcade
Now I'm a fan of neither snowboarding nor video games. So it follows logic that I don't enjoy video games about snowboarding, but snowboarding in video games is something I can get behind.

A Precious Heart
An amazing attitude in a tough situation.
Not "why is this happening to us?" but "Why should this not happen to us? What makes us so special? We're just two ordinary people just like everyone else"

Hand Drawn Wonderfulness
Normally, I'm not a big fan on animation, but I just love the style of this one.
and even the thoughest of you have to agree that this is at least a tad cute.
Check yes please!

I Couldn't Hold Out With This One!!!
When I find a video I like, I save the URL into a big long list of URLs I have going. That means that the videos you see here, I found about a week ago! I run the risk of it being "old news" by the time I post it here, but ah well.
Today, I found these three videos and there is no possible way that I can keep them to myself for any period of time so you're getting a second post today (on top of the double this morning, lucky you!)
So these guys are applying animal behaviours to technology. WHAT?! Yeah.
A radio that "sneezes" to clear dust from it's slots, disk drive that "jumps up" when it detects a liquid is being spilled near it and a lamp that "sways" out of the way when it detects that someone is getting too close to it and may be burned.
This is absolutely incredible! Check it out!
Ridiculous.
Another Double
Unfortuantely embedding has been disabled for this video, but it is of a song called Cover Your Eyes by Children 18:3 who are one of my new favourite bands. I accidently discovered them at Purple Door last year when Kent had convinced me to go see a band he described as the fathers of christian punk rock. He took me to the wrong stage, but I fell in love with these kids! Check it out!
Now this second video was supposed to be posted yesterday, but I got distracted and forgot ...
oh well, here it is now.

A Song Written for Preschoolers Sung by Adults in a Driveway
a joel.witwer original
I went to a wonderful show last night. It was in a kid's driveway and it was small and it was passionate and it was wonderful. It opened up with this guy, Jason Anderson. He's a music teacher in NYC and this is a song he wrote for his preschoolers. So, yes, of course we sung it.

Naturally Wonderful.
You have to love the seeming simpleness of this all. They plant the food, they tend to the plants, the plants grow, they harvest it and sell it. All in the family and local community.
beautiful.

One Area in Need of Change
I know that the way the world is is not the way is should be or even has to be.
This is one area that needs to be transformed.

iPhone 4 Music Video
A video shot entirely on the iPhone 4.
This just goes to show that, while your camera does have some influence on the final product, the majority of filmmaking is in the production (shots, supports, motion, lighting) and post production (colouring, editing, special effects, flow).

A Subtle Sidetrip
The world of video allows us to take subtle sidetrips from the real world which is contrary to the world of animation where a new world is created.
I love when filmmakers take advantage of this.

Sorry abou that kiddos
I don't know if you've noticed (or if you even care), but I've been trying to upload a video each weekday for you all.
Yesterday, I failed you.
In an attempt at reconciliation, I am uploading 2 for you today!
