Above Everything
Digital artist Alex Roman created this ad for Silestone kitchen manufacturers. The slow motion cascades of produce, the opening of an artichoke, the shattering crystal; it's all so beautiful! Wait a minute, it's not real? All of the imagery used in the ad is computer generated! Watch it again and you still won't believe it.
Be Linen Movie
This short film by director Benoit Millot is about the French linen industry. It follows from the growth of the flax, to the spinning and weaving, and finally to the garment makers. It's beautifully filmed and shows the love and admiration the French have for the noble fiber.

The Smoking Machine
Norwegian artist Kristoffer Myskja has created this machine that "smokes" a pack of cigarettes. Although completely useless, the mechanical engineering required to light a cigarette, smoke it, then drop the butt to the ground is ingenious!

Wish You Were a Supermodel?
This video of supermodel Kate Moss trying to leave LAX airport is truly shocking. The paparazzi descended upon her and her child and were terrifyingly relentless; even as Moss was escorted to her car by airport police. No one who wished to be famous deserves this. The video was a key piece of evidence that helped pass a California law banning such aggressive photography.
Hitting Rough Seas
The CCTV camera of the Pacific Sun cruise ship, meant to keep the bartender from stealing, captured some amazing video of the ship hitting some very rough seas. Chairs, tables, and people all begin sliding around with each wave. It looks scary and fun at the same time.

SFMTA Replacing Muni Tracks
Ken Murphy set up a time-lapse camera in the window of his Church and 30th Streets apartment, and captured workers of the San Francisco Municipal Transit Authority replacing tracks for MUNI commuter trains. He's condensed three and a half days of work into about twelve fascinating minutes. It's really worth watching all the way through. I've watched it twice.
