  "Black History" - Master P & Romeo (Animated Version)

  (Cartoon / Traditional)
  [ 3:27 - from YouTube ]

  Here's a great animated video that's "gonna keep it street and lean something at the same time." This animated version of this rap is awesome, it has great visuals that go along with the chorus, and provides great info. I really enjoy the style of the music and animation together. view

  Captain Stargood: A Word From Our Sponsor

  (Stop Motion)
  [ 1:25 - from YouTube ]

  Created and pitched as if it were archives from a real 1950's Sci-Fi TV show, this black-and-white puppet-based comedy is full of Atomic Space-Race spoofs and wry sexual innuendos. "Lost in Space" gone terribly awry. It's smart, funny, and the intentionally cheesy FX and fake model spaceships are spot on. Well done.  view

  Twitter in Plain English

  (Experimental)
  [ 2:25 - from Vimeo ]

  If you're like me, you've heard of Twitter but you don't have any idea what it is. I found this helpful, animated lesson for us. Maybe now we can be part of the social media network, yes? But I still have a question... why would anyone want to know what I'm doing between blog posts and e-mails? I don't even write blog posts or e-mails. Maybe that's my problem. TWEET! "I'm rambling right now. Don't you hate that?!?" view

  Modern Guide to Health

  (Cartoon / Traditional)
  [ 8:46 - from YouTube ]

  It's a little unreasonable to call this a "modern" guide to health since the video was made over 60 years ago, but the advice it gives actually holds up (for the most part). Practice good posture, cycle to work rather than take the bus, and remember to get outside for some fresh air once in a while. If the tips aren't worth watching, the accompanying music is simply delightful! view

  Apoptosis

  (3D)
  [ 5:30 - from Vimeo ]

  Apoptosis is a process where a cell is degraded in order for it to be ultimately engulfed and recycled. Although this process happens everyday to everyone, this video has very little to do with that and much more about creating a visual feast for the music. The sounds are from Caelum, an electronica/trance musician from Japan. Sit back and enjoy the head space.  view

  Iran: A Nation of Bloggers

  (Flash)
  [ 2:19 - from Vimeo ]

  Motion graphics illustrate the recent history of Iran and its daring attempts at free speech in this very effective video. The production is a great example of using visual representation to relay complex aspects of culture and society. Compliments to the creator of the video at the Vancouver Film School and to all the bloggers of Iran. view

  Conan Vs. Leno: A Chinese CGI Reenactment

  (3D)
  [ 1:54 - from YouTube ]

  Yep, the Chinese have even mastered the art of CGI satire. A popular news station has managed to sum up the American late-night comedy wars by reenacting the whole debacle as a cartoon superhero smackdown! And if his “avatar” is any indication (the Incredible Hulk sure beats pot-bellied LenoMan), they appear to be on Team Coco. Letterman and Captain Zucker get a little lost in translation, but the kung-fu fight scenes are worth the wait.  Look for this to run on one of late-night shows before they go up in smoke. view

  Simon's Cat: TV Dinner

  (Cartoon / Traditional)
  [ 2:35 - from YouTube ]

  Cats are very independent; we know that.  But when Simon's cat wants attention he'll stop at nothing to get it.  This is a good example of typical feline behavior - they'll ignore you, love you, and leave you.  Cute animation here. view
