Too Much Time – Shadow puppet porn

Since I posted the x-ray stuff, I figured it was only appropriate I follow that up with another under-appreciated form of sexual fantasy. Shadow puppets. This person does quite well.

Role Model – Real Hula Hoop

Every time I grab a hula hoop, I imagine myself looking as badass as this guy and not like the lunatic on pixie sticks I normally am.

NSFW – X-ray Pin Ups (NSFW)

This is very NSFW for being borderline pornography, but I couldn’t stand the idea of being the only person who knows this type of eroticism exists. See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

Animation – Gettysburg Address

A reading of the Gettysburg Address with some clever animation to boot. I know some kids who had to memorize this in Elementary school. I think this would help learning it. Gettysburg Address from Adam Gault on Vimeo.

Tilt Shift – Coachelletta

I am a huge fan of tilt-shift, which is normally used for busy cities and landscapes, so this video breaks the norm and just follows people around during Coachelletta. Coachelletta from Sam O’Hare on Vimeo.

Animation – Trois Petite Points

Another splendid foreign animation. This time coming from France, this little story tells the tale of a woman who puts her needle to work to try and fix the world. A little darker than most.

Animation – Out of Sight

An absolutely adorable Japanese animation about a girl who loses her dog and goes on an adventure to find him. Very similar to Miyazaki‘s work, the guy behind Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke.

3D – 8Bits

A wonderful collaboration of 3D and 2D graphics paying tribute to the evolution of video games and 3D. It’s a bit long but probably the best quality 3D animation I’ve seen in a while. Definitely turn it on HD if … Continue reading

Animation – Key Lime Pie

This animation is both creepy and and excellent, telling the mad noir-ish tale of a man’s obsession with a delectable treat.

A very neat video taking you through a Mandelbox, which you can read all about here if you are interested in such an abstract mathematical construct.

This video just goes to show you that if it exists, it can be used to create art. It’s like the artistic Rule 34.
