  Die Doraus und die Marinas -- Die Welt ist Schlecht

  Music (Music Videos), Other Gems
  [ 3:09 - from YouTube ]

  A cute little video from long forgotten pop band, Die Doraus und Die Marinas (and I mean really forgotten-- most Germans have never heard of them). This band is actually one of my favorites and their video makes me love them even more. My favorite part is the extra-long hold on smiley-man lead singer's face at the end. Adorably sloppily made. view

  Yeah, I sniffled. OK, maybe more than sniffled, and I’ve never even owned a Ford – not yet, anyway.  view

  How did this fly under the radar for so long? Watch Gary Oldman in his "role of a lifetime" in this wondrously bizarre trailer for 2003 movie "Tiptoes," starring Matthew McConaughey and Kate Beckinsale. This film asks the time-honored question: "What would you do if you found out your fiance came from a family of dwarfs?"  view

  This BAFTA winning claymation from 2002 shows the relationship of a father and son just after the death of the kid's mother. While this technique is most often used to create monster vs alien fights, etc., this artist took a different approach, exploring the dark issues families must face. view

  Cisma - Handmade

  Animation (Experimental), Drama & Genre
  [ 6:56 - from YouTube ]

  Shot in Brazil - this short film uses effects, colors, eerie music, and no dialogue to create a feeling of confusion and discontent.  The visuals are incredibly original and fun to watch in this tale that creates the array of emotions one feels at the beginning and at the end of a love relationship. view

  This video is a gorgeous celebration of art, architecture and photography. I'm still not quite sure what to make of it, but watching it is as emotionally stirring as listening to a symphony. It's mesmerizing and beautiful. view
