  9.12 DC TEA PARTY - March Footage with Interviews

  
  (Politics)
  [ 9:30 - from Live Leak ]

  The "tea party" in Washington, D.C. on 9.12.09 represented what House Republican leader John Boehner called, "political rebellion" that is the result of pushback against Democrat spending.  Twenty thousand people participated in this event that was an organized protest against things like health insurance reform, abortion, global warming, government spending, and of course our 'Muslim/Socialist' president, Barack Obama.  All Americans have the right to stand up and have their voices heard.  But after watching these protesters' interviews and hearing what they have to say, I seriously wonder if anyone has any idea what they are talking about; if they even understand their reasons for protesting; or if anyone knows anything about...well...anything. view

  La Chaussettologie - Challenge Your World

  (Eco / Green)
  [ 2:20 - from Vimeo ]

  From the video challenge "inspiration for a better world," I found this funny animation where blue balls try to find a way to make the world a better place. It's a tough decision, but for the planet they'll do anything. This is just one example from the challenge where creativity is the key to success for the participants and, quite possibly, for our planet. view

  RWE Energy Giant

  (Eco / Green)
  [ 1:54 - from Vimeo ]

  If you were a giant, what would you do first - destroy something you don't like or build something for the human race?  This clean cg animation shows you examples of what some countries are doing to harness energy from Mother Earth.  Hopefully you'll start thinking a bit more about the little things you can do for our planet, even if you're not a giant. view

  Sexy Beijing: Sexy San Ba

  (Cultural, How-To)
  [ 6:47 - from YouTube ]

  This is a great video series, and not just because it's by my my little sister, Anna Sophie. The Atlantic Monthly and the New York Times Magazine thought so too and gave her nice write ups. My sister, in her hipster girl lost in Beijing persona, has done a whole series of pieces where she gives you a window on Chinese culture and life that you won't see anywhere else. It is the kind of reportage that would have never been available without the digital revolution - I honestly think it is some of the most cutting edge use of the web I've seen; its not copying TV, but creating a new form. view

  Apollo 11 Introduction

  (News)
  [ 2:17 - from YouTube ]

  "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind..."  Neil Armstrong uttered those famous words forty years ago, on July 20, 1969.  Along with Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin, the men of Apollo 11 changed American history forever. This montage video features some rare footage of the famous mission that established the United States as the forerunners in the Race for Space.  Though there are skeptics that feel that this event was a hoax and took place on a Hollywood soundstage, I still think the footage looks pretty damn cool. view
