Action Filled Chase

The French premium movie station Canal Plus released this hilarious ad. I'm not sure his story would be as effective as implied, but I guess he should still get props for creativity.

Crazy Human Air Stunts

If you haven't heard of these indoor skydiving setups, let me explain. They're basically a massive fan inside a vertical tube that creates enough wind to allow you to float in the air (simulating skydiving). I knew of their existence, but I had no idea how agile a human being can be in flight.

OK Go - White Knuckles

Well those crazy bastards have done it again. OK Go if you keep this up I'm going to need to make a tag just for you guys. I'm not sure if this one is actually 1 cut, but the seamless appearance of the video is impressive none the less. Some of their previous stuff here.

Exotic Fish

Aquariums have never looked like such a bachelor party haven before. Just don't tap the glass, the bouncers will haul your ass out onto the street.

Let's Colour - Walls Are Dancing

This video starts off slow, but I love what the editor did with the paintings as the song picks up. The part I'm still trying to figure out is how much of this video is genuine stop motion and how much of it has been manipulated in After Effects. Unless they repainted the walls several times, there are frames that seems to show different orders of painting which makes me feel like some masking and combining was done. Still, its an awesome film. Go here to see the making of video.

Origami Master

This is another one of those niche artists like the pencil guy who has honed his craft to a ridiculous level. This man can apparently make anything out of a folded dollar bill (or sometimes two). I can't even fathom how he got the scales on this koi, or the thin struts of the Eiffel tower. You have to see this.

Life Cycles

I'm not sure biking has ever looked this epic. The camera work and editing is gorgeous. I'm not sure about the bike philosophy they sneak in there, but the rest of the video is worth it.
