This is one of the neatest things on VideoSift: Top 100 Web Videos of 2006. Some, nay, make that *all* of the web's most awesome video clips can be found on this list!
Showreel VideoprojectionShowreel Videoprojection, a collaboration between easyweb.fr and neoprojc.com, is a fantastic new way of using architectural details as a backdrop of video art. The clip is gorgeous and it's no wonder that it's on VideoSift's Top 100 Videos of 2006: http://www.tophundredvideos.com/video/Projection-Monumentale---A-new-video-projection-way | |
Roller PigeonsEver seen a roller pigeon do summersaults while flying? Well, now you can: http://www.tophundredvideos.com/video/Roller-Pigeons-doing-backflips-29-sweet-footage Apparently, it's a technique they developed to evade attacks by peregrines. Or maybe they're just spastic! | |
One Week's Worth of ArtIn 2005, Japanese art group Rinpa Eshidan filmed themselves painting one week's worth of art - painting and erasing the same canvas over and over again. The time-lapse clip is fantastic - if you haven't seen it before, you're missing out: http://www.tophundredvideos.com/video/constantly-mutating-painting-by-japanese-street-artists | |
Time Lapse Video of Driving Across AmericaBesides the Rinpa Eshidan art video, a couple of clever time-lapse videos made the list, like a time lapse of the South Pole and transformation of model's face for an ad campaign. Those are good, but I find this one made while driving across America hypnotically fantastic! http://www.tophundredvideos.com/video/Time-Lapse-Video-of-Driving-Across-America | |
Floating DogWhat's that behind the pilots of this airplane? Why, a floating wiener dog, actually: http://www.tophundredvideos.com/video/Weiner-Dog-in-Plane-Starts-Floating-Unexpectedly---Hes-Lucky-the-Windows-were-Closed-23-secs How did this happen? Apparently, the dog took a ride on a vomit comet [wiki] | |
Truth in AdvertisingWhat if everyone in corporate-dom started telling the honest truth? http://www.tophundredvideos.com/video/Truth-in-Advertising-NSFW [NSFW language] The clip was directed by Tim Hamilton and nominated for the 2001 Golden Palm at Cannes Film Festival. | |
I haven't told you the Number 1 Video of 2006 according to VideoSift yet, for that, you've got to go there yourself (it's an excellent choice, btw): http://www.tophundredvideos.com/video/Autistic-basketball-player-creates-mayhem-at-game |
