I saw this at the TED Conference and it took my breath away. No fancy computer tricks... this is animation done the old fashioned way... but God knows HOW it was done. Miraculous. view

A music video that uses seamless special effects to make various household objects float, dance, and create beautiful patterns around a room. The song is by Japanese artist Cornelius. I'm blown away by this every time I watch it. view

From hot to oh-so-not in 60 seconds or less! I love those time-lapse videos you see on the Web like when you watch a model being photoshopped in under two minutes and so on. Well, forget airbrushing. How about turning a cutie into a zombie? Here's what it takes to go from gorgeous to night of the living dead. view

A dark and beautiful short film from Swedish character animator Alli Sadegiani. Set in a motel bathroom, our main character struggles with the greed that boils inside of him. As he fights his inner demons a familiar face begins to take shape, and the person in the mirror changes before his eyes. This is especially interesting social commentary given our current economic situation. view

"Money as Debt" explains in simple terms exactly what money is and how it's CREATED by government and banks. Have you ever wondered how so many people, banks and countries can be so far in debt at the same time? WHERE is the money? And those paper bills in your wallet and that ATM balance? NOT worth it's weight in gold or what you might have thought. With today's debt, bailouts and a failed housing market, this video is a must-see and a shocking eye-opener. The history of money, gold, banking and debt is presented in an animated, narrated, easy-to-grasp story. view

Here's a wacky clip of the late King of Pop dancing with a claymation rabbit, from the movie "Moonwalker." The rabbit was created by legendary animator Will Vinton. I like the idea that Jackson was game to have a dance-off with basically anybody at any time. He'll be missed. view
