Incredible colour footage of 1920s London shot by an early British pioneer of film named Claude Friese-Greene, who made a series of travelogues using the colour process his father William – a noted cinematographer – was experimenting with. It’s like a beautifully dusty old postcard you’d find in a junk store, but moving.

This is an old video by talented illustrator Martijn van Dam, but I still think it’s pretty cool. It might even be somehow useful if you want to see how someone creates an illustration of a spacecraft.

Emily Didonato in a commercial for Giorgio Armani’s Acqua di Gioia. She always looks stunning, and this video is not the exception

I liked this commercial. I really don’t know anything about that phone (as the only phone news I’ve been following are those for the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4).

And there you are, sitting in front of a screen, doing nothing.

A bunch of kids in an orphanage are preparing to celebrate mother’s day.

A student film, nothing more, or less. It is such a freakishly cool freaky animated short by Marion Petegnief, Matthieu Bernadat, Nils Boussuge, Clément Deltour and Florence Ciuccoli.

Let’s start the day with some music. France Gall chose this song to sing on March 20, 1965, at Eurovision. It seems that a lot of people didn’t like it, but she ended up taking the Grand Prix. If you want to read more about her, that’s what wikipedia is for.

If you weren’t sure before, you’ll now be convinced that Jennifer Love Hewitt is a woman. I’ve always been a fan of this cute actress, so I can’t complain at all about the video. Maybe it should last longer. That’s all

The cool things one can find when wasting time on the internet. Meet Spike, a moving camera that shoots at high speed. It can be used to create some really cool scenes, as shown in the video. By The Marmalade.

This was the future in 1983.

Touch the future. Today.

One of the first “videocasts” I used to watched on a regular basis was Rocketboom. It was interesting, fun, and back then, it was quite original. However, it’s been years since I last saw one of their videos. I didn’t even know they were still around.

Amanda Congdon leaving was the main reason for me to stop watching. They had a couple of anchors that I find pretty boring, specially Molly, who apparently has been the anchor of that show for quite some time until the new girl, Keghan Hurst, replaced her around April of last year. She is interesting to look at, so maybe I’ll start watching the show again.

On a similar note, I’ve been rewatching some old episodes of Diggnation. That show was pretty good.

When an idea materializes into paper and continues to magically transform into a deep red fabric, the only thing you can do is let go and follow your heart.
