I recommend watching the whole video, but if you can’t wait for that sweet, sweet marble action, skip to 7:55.

Axe Cop: Episode One!

Posted by Pete Berg on Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010 at 10:19 am

A few weeks ago, the web comic Axe Cop blew up on the Internet…and now it is video form! This comic is written by a 5 year old and illustrated by his 29 year old brother, and it’s pretty much the greatest thing ever. I’m so pumped that they are now turning them into video versions! Kids this young don’t know anything about story archs or genre conventions, so it’s basically everything that this 5 year old thinks is cool, back-to-back-to-back in action packed axe-filled adventures. Yes, please.

Also, check out the trailer for a (possibly) upcoming movie:

And here’s a video on the Axe Cop Writing process, where you can meet the 5 year old genius behind it all, Ethan:

EveryDay Looper

EveryDay Looper is a sweet iPhone app that lets you record multiple tracks and loop them on the fly. Here’s an awesome performance by some French dude using the app.

OK Go – This Too Shall Pass

Posted by Pete Berg on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 at 10:44 am

OK Go does it again! This time, they set up one of the most extravagant Rube Goldberg devices in history, which you have to see to believe.

This is the epic follow-up to their other viral music video hits (Everyone remembers OK Go, on Treadmills…and this is actually second video for this very song — the first, marching band one was posted on YouTube a few months ago. EMI Music has inexplicably disabled embedding on both of these videos, which makes no sense; it’s as if they don’t want the videos to go viral, or for people to actually see them, and, you know, buy the album. But I digress.) Enjoy!

Ted’s Birthday by Improv Everywhere

Posted by Pete Berg on Monday, March 1st, 2010 at 11:23 pm

“For our latest mission, 30 people throw a birthday party for a random stranger in a bar. The mission was filmed with cameras hidden behind two way mirrors, and the audio comes from hidden wireless microphones (both on our agents and hidden around the bar.) Watch the video first, and then check out our behind-the-scenes report.”

Amazing prank, and one of Improv Everywhere’s best! I had heard about the original “Ted’s Birthday” years ago, and I’m glad that they redid it with cameras this time.

Miniature New York

Posted by Pete Berg on Monday, March 1st, 2010 at 10:22 am

A day in New York City, if it were a miniature version of itself. This video uses a technique called tilt shifting to make the objects appear tiny. Watch it in HD for the full effect. (Thanks, Anna!)

Beauty Pressure

Posted by Pete Berg on Sunday, February 28th, 2010 at 9:47 pm

This is another PSA directed by Tim Piper, the guy who made the famous Dove “Evolution” ad. Both of these ads are amazingly effective at showing how artificial yet pervasive the beauty industry is.

And here’s the famous first ad, if you haven’t seen it before (I’m sure you have):

“Life in Quarantine,” by Fully Sick Rapper

Posted by Pete Berg on Saturday, February 27th, 2010 at 6:06 am

Christian Van Vuuren was diagnosed with TB and has spent the last 55 days quarantined to a single hospital room. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he made this amazing rap video. I hope he recovers, I want to hang out with him.
