Here's a clever animation using old corporate icons from back in the day. The audio quips are taken from ex-ad agency workers as they discuss the intrusiveness and popular techniques of advertisers today. Informative and funny. view

This brilliant and entertaining animated short pays homage to Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Dock Ellis and the day he threw a no-hitter while tripping on acid. This short was inspired by an NPR interview during which the former right hander gave a moment by moment account of June 12, 1970 - the day he pitched a no-hitter against the San Diego Padres. This could be considered one of the greatest American professional sports, and drug, accomplishments of the 20th century. view

From November 9th, 2007 to November 13th, 2008, Christoph Rehage trekked 4,646 Kilometers across China. This time-lapse video documents his boundless beard & hair growth over the time he walked from Beijing to Urumqi. The soundtrack is by the kingpins and zhu fengbo, and the scenery in the background is nothing short of spectacular. This is such an interesting commentary on one man's journey, and the many faces he can wear during a time of adventure, love, lessons, and heartache. view

A lot of us will laugh at just about anything, but let's take a couple minutes to stop and think about what comedy really is. This animated clip shows us how subtle changes can alter the meaning of something entirely. A falling man isn't so funny, but put a sombrero on him and it turns into a barrel of laughs. view
