This is a documentary, so it might not fit this category, but this is a fascinating collection of just under 1 hour pieces.
It helps remind me of why I enjoyed art history, what I can learn from some interesting artists and the back story is more often more fascinating than the art.

This is very cool and scary. Pulls your friends info off of Facebook and puts it into the movie trailer.

OK I tried the Lost in val sinestra trailer thing and it was pretty cool. FYI if you are scared of using your Facebook friends (like me) you can click below and manually add people. I made up a bunch of names but it was still fun. Make sure you use mugshots.
Good advice for creative types. Sorry about the language for those of you who might be bothered by it. Sound advice:

that's pretty cool. I thought they were just videos, but then looked closer to see how they animated. How would you do that?
Colin Stetson doing some things with a saxophone that will blow your mind away (pun intended) if you watch long enough.
When they recorded his latest album they used up to 24 different mics and you can really tell. Here they have a mic on the instrument, one on his neck and I cannot tell how many in studio.
A nice mental challenge to figure out how you might shoot and record this.

I am always looking for interesting ideas, techniques, thoughts that will influence my storytelling or get me to think outside the "box."
Yes it is stop-motion, but it tells a very nice story:

The intro gets your attention. Listen to it without the music and what do you learn?

Can we do this in journalism. Probably not, but it gets me thinking:
