Congratulations (or apologies?) are in order for any of you who read that rambling post I made the other night. Like I predicted, it pulled a Harold Holt the next morning and is presumed drowned. I wish it had at least conned a D.B. Cooper stunt and got a little money before disappearing. Heck, I would have even settled for a Edward V of England whodunit. Okay, I’m having too much fun making references to people who vanished.
Anyways, here’s a really cool video I found recently. It’s one of those that looks easy since it’s so clean, quick, and smooth. Yet since I know how hard it is to edit and manipulate video files, I can only imagine what a bitch that was to create.
Ohhhh. Let the drummer kick that.
I still think let the drama kid die makes more sense.
Two follow-up videos to the one I posted yesterday. They’re done by the same guys and even better if that’s possible.
I’ve always loved stop motion videos. The only problem is 90% of the ones you find are beyond crap because the creators were too busy to take enough photos to make the video look realistic. You can’t have a stop motion chase scene with ten freaking photos, people!
Is it wrong that the only things I can think of after watching the video below is who made the music and what program were the animations made in?
I completely agree with the video, though. As opposed to some of the far out videos I’ve posted on here before, this one takes a pretty fair assessment of the future to come. Just as I’ve ranted and raved against businesses that have yet to figure out how to harness the Internet, I think it’s pretty clear that any individual at this point who doesn’t know the difference between a wiki and a widget is a step behind the pack.
At the same time, it’d be nice if they referenced their facts at the end of the video………
Over the past five days, my faith in humanity has been utterly destroyed due to the amount of people who somehow thought I was praising the Marine who maybe possibly could have thrown a live puppy off a cliff. Turns out way more people need to procure a damn sarcasm detector.
That said, I find the videos below absolutely hilarious.
I can already tell this post is going to be the launching point for two additional posts in the future. One on random, cool things I’ve found on the Internet lately and another on how the Internet has actually hurt “creativity” as much as it’s helped it. Well, maybe not as much, but I’ll save that for later. In the meantime, check out the first part of this video.
It reminds me of a techno song I found a while ago that used a generic beat and nothing but AOL sounds.
I’ve always loved random creations where none should exist. You’d expect to hear decent music from the radio. You know there’s a chance the music will be good if you head to the bar and listen to a local band. Yet nobody who hears the random bells and dings on their computer thinks, “now those would make an awesome song!”
I think it’s pretty nifty that the guy not only created this, but then took the time to show people how they too could make a similar song. Not many people will create something and then put their creation out there for others to modify and build upon, despite the fact that the Internet is not only perfectly suited for this, but essential built upon this model. Far too many people out there (myself included at times) will create something, stick it on the ‘net, and then expect full and total control over it. I can’t help but feel that completely defeats the purpose of sharing something on the ‘net in the first place.
Random Edit: I happened to have IE open since I’m making a new design for HIF and dear God was Shyzer hard to read. Apparently IE hates serif fonts. So I added a little code that keeps the serif font for FF and Safari while displaying sans-serif for IE. In conclusion, Shyzer is now what I deem to be 14 trillion times easier to read if you still use IE.
Goob + the flu = perfect excuse to sleep all day and watch crummy old movies on TV.
Actually, that’s not quite accurate. I did spend a little time on the computer today and as a result, discovered Angry Video Game Nerd. Basically, it’s a guy playing old NES games while swearing and pointing out how much they sucked. Anybody who grew up in the 80s needs to watch some of them, ESPECIALLY the Ghostbusters one. It’s a tad long, but chock full of truth and laughs.
If you want, go ahead and picture me playing with all the toys he shows at the beginning of the video as I recognized each and every one of them.
Edit #1: Here’s his review of Independence Day, a video game my siblings might remember. So damn accurate!
