Monster Slayer

Hey, long-time fazer/lurker here doing a short film project down in Gallup, NM. It's based on Navajo mythology, but with a big injection of comic-book/superhero action movie styling, giant stop-motion monsters (think J.Carpenter's 'The Thing'), kickass girl-monster-slayer shooting lightning arrows, and aerial cinematography. Check it out!

Drive

Louis Oosthuizen, pro golfer and British Open Champion, uses the old "cart path" trick for extra driver distance. This could be the longest duration ever for a golf shot.

Make It So

Patrick Stewart was asked the question what the most important thing he’d ever done besides acting was. His answer was his work with campaigns against violence toward women. Good video.

Ice, Ice, Baby (Too Slow, Too Slow)

It could be a scene out of a 1950s horror film - an unstoppable 'ice tsunami' gradually moving ashore, destroying everything in its path.

Wallflowers

In what may be one of the most eye-catching recent symbols of the spirit of Earth Day in the green building movement, a new apartment complex in Hamburg, Germany, has opened with two unique green walls. These aren’t the kind with plants attached to the outside skin; these walls are actually made of tiny, energy-producing plants suspended in water-filled chambers.

Pokarekare Ana

"Seconds after the New Zealand Parliament passed marriage equality this morning, hundreds of spectators in the gallery – and even several MPs — burst into harmonious song. The tune they sang is 'Pokarekare Ana,' a love song in the language of New Zealand’s indigenous Maori people."

Animotion

One of Pixar’s ideas to show the public how animation works was to build a zoetrope, much like the one Studio Ghibli had made previously. However, instead of drawings, 18 different sculptures were made, and a strobe light was used as they spun around. This made each of the images freeze in space, creating the illusion of animation.

Where the Wild Things Are

Mr Fréger was intrigued by the transformations of human being to beast that he witnessed in 18 European countries. They were, he said, "...celebrations of fertility, life and death and symbolized the complicated relationship between mankind and nature."

The Philosopher

When he rang the doorbell, Zia hadn't planned to step inside. He was there to pick up his fiancee who was babysitting, but she couldn't leave (the parents were running late) so Zia agreed to hang out for a bit. His fiancee said, "Let me introduce you to the kids" — the 2-year-old girl, the 7-year-old boy and, most important, squatting, with no shoes on, surrounded by ants on the back patio, the oldest — the 9-year-old, who was "interested in cosmology".

Vanilla

On May 28, 2008, Adam LeWinter and Director Jeff Orlowski filmed a historic breakup at the Ilulissat Glacier in Western Greenland. The calving event lasted for 75 minutes and the glacier retreated a full mile across a calving face three miles wide. The height of the ice is about 3,000 feet, 300-400 feet above water and the rest below water.

Pay it Forward

I've been making it a habit once or twice a month on the rare occasions I hit the drive-thru window anymore to pay the ticket for whoever is behind me in line and try to get away before they can catch up to me. I challenge everyone to do something nice for a random person at least once over the holidays.
