Dock Ellis & The LSD No-No
Fantastic story. The official website.

In this short animated film by Régis Camargo, an unexpected visitor named Fred comes to Sandy’s window, asking for her help to take him home. Oh, by the way, Fred is a lion…
The Office: Pam & Jim get married
Great episode. No choice but to embed the entire thing (works only in US).
Part one.
Part two.
If you want to skip to the meat.

Lovely ideas. I wish this went on for longer.
Cart – The Film
Took something not very interesting and made it exciting. Excellent cinematography and music.

Brilliant stuff. High in creative IQ: to take one idea and see it in as many ways as possible.
¡Perfecto!
Beautifully constructed short. One of those rare films where you wished it went on for longer.
The Lost Tribes of New York City
Awesome submission from DaveX. Lovely idea, the description is vague for good reason: Urban Anthropologists, Andy and Carolyn London interview some of New York City’s more overlooked citizens.
Oren Lavie – Her Morning Elegance
I often think people spend too much time making simple things hard. Here is one video that gets it just right. With just a little, nothing more than what you would find in a bedroom, this music video tells the story in all of its visual splendor.
One of the early favorites for Best Music Video of 2009.
Watch it – via I Heart Pluto.
Carrboro Film Festival Intro
More information on my videoblog.
Bottlecap Assassins
One of the many gems that will be playing at the Carrboro Film Festival this weekend.
Toyota Corolla Cat ad
Creative for a car ad. Not saying much, is it? Nevertheless, this one is outstanding.
Dr. Horrible
Josh Whedon, writer of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, directs this videoblog/show starring Neil Patrick Harris. Be a little patient because it picks up from its slow start wonderfully. A clever tale with ample amounts of wit.
Watch it – download it on iTunes.
This is an incredibly successful internet phenomenon (making it to the Time’s Best Inventions of 2008!!). A couple of thoughts:
- Length. People keep saying the shorter is better online. This has been true but the internet is evolving and with it the perception that the internet is some sort of distraction from other forms of media will change. I can’t wait, very promising for storytellers.
- Whedon said it was a small budget with the budget in the low six figure amount. Yes, I am with you when you say “that is a small budget”. But this is clearly an investment. This video series will be a full fledged something. This is just the beginning.
- I hadn’t heard about it till the Time’s article. But Googling the show, there isn’t a doubt in my mind that this is megahit. Whedon is quoted as saying as getting a thousand hits in a second in this USA Today article. What is amazing to me is that I hadn’t seen it earlier. I maintain this blog about online video, I spend (too much) time looking for online video content and yet this thing lives successfully outside of my world, my blogs, the places I visit for almost 5 months. Incredible. Shows you the size of the internet and how small you really are.
- Musicals do great online. I was talking to Rhett & Link about their incredible videoblog (more about them later) and they were saying their most popular videos end up being their music videos.
The Dark Knight (kids version)
If these kids seriously made this, that is impressive. So much fun.
