A slow fly-over of London at (what looks like) dawn by aerial photographer Jason Hawkes. After you’ve watched it once, watch it again and see if you can spot which shots are running backwards. via Devour.

Have some colored felt tip markers, some self-adhesive velcro and a milk frother? If so, then get ready to make a “robot” that can draw. During the Minimondi Festival in Parma, Italy, artist Lorezno Bravi experienced a workshop for children to create this amazing little diy toy of sorts. It’s a variation on these drawbots (like these at the 2010 Maker Faire-NY) by researcher,...

Reggie Watts is a comedian and musician in Brooklyn that you may have seen on tv or on the internets. He plays with accents, beat-boxing, sound effects, a wide range of music styles, and other often improv’d creations. While his work is for mature audiences, our kid really likes this particular video (by Ronen V) of Reggie breaking out the layers and loops with gear that includes a...

After watching The Secret Life of Plankton, oh how happy we were(!) to find Para Films‘  The Plankton Chronicles. There are so many beautiful videos shot in microscopic detail that we haven’t watched them all yet. In this video, the Sea Urchin and its cone-shaped echinopluteus larvae demonstrate the cell-division cycle. Other excellent vids: Protists - Cells in the Sea, Iridescent...

The Fine Art of Folding Air is a short piece by filmmaker Catherine Stratton (who made Sutton Clock Shop) that introduces the balloon sculture work of Larry Moss and Kelly Cheatle. Their company, Airigami, specializes in making balloons into almost anything. Really. So. Many. Things. Thanks, Catherine.

One more from a música portuguesa a gostar dela própria, a project created to celebrate and archive the variety of music made in Portugal. This video was shot in Riachos, Torres Novas and is charming and super catchy. We watched it twice after watching quite a few other videos from the project.  This kind of endeavor is so great for capturing music, tradition, culture, language, history,...

This one was shot on Pico Island by MPAGDP, which stands for a música portuguesa a gostar dela própria, a project created to celebrate and archive the variety of music made in Portugal. What a wonderful site! There are many videos, almost all shot outside to create an...
