Do you enjoy high speed video? Well this is apparently shot at 1,000,000 frames per second! It shows bullets hitting objects. Objects hitting bullets. Ten minutes of stuff the human eye would never see.

This is a very cool short film created by Stink Digital. It is for a Phillips advertising campaign for their newest television. The film is a frozen scene from a robbery committed by clowns and the responding Police. Matrix style frozen action plus clowns, plus cops plus bullets and explosions, how could this not be great.

The youtube version is below. You can check out a HD version on Phillips site.

Escape from City-17 is a five minute fan film by commercial creator Purchase Brothers. Apparently this cost only $500 to create and used no script, no time, and no crew. Obviously these guys know their way around the post-production studio as the film footage really blends with the CG. I can’t wait until Part 2.

A great commercial for Nokia of Bruce Lee playing ping pong with nunchucks. I have no idea why this wouldn’t be effective in the US. I hope Nokia uses this commercial for their next product release in America. Would it make a bunch of sense to Americans, not really but the cool factor should be enough to create buzz.

This has to be one of the greatest examples of what a small team of experienced artists can do with a lot of planning and today’s technology. It took only four days to complete this shoot.

What George Lucas told the two YouTube founders at D5’s opening-night cocktail reception. His suggestion was to fund a film school with their “some of their newfound Google money”.

YouTube may promote a larger amount of short “low brow” films but the ease of becoming famous seems like it would lure more into the video / film industry. After working in a medium for a period of time, many people seek more information to educate themselves from a desire to be taken more seriously.

I believe online video will change again the way we think about video. In the same way modern films have adapted a music video approach of drenching the screen with visual candy and trying to hold our ever shortening attention spans, online video focuses on what the public wants; the main course before the appetizer. Even commercials have changed their approach to include the same techniques found in most viral videos. The popularity of YouTube is a lesson of the future of video in terms of delivery, popularity, and feedback.

This is the first film from Satellite Films where 60 filmmakers all recorded 20 minutes of film on August 5th, 2004. Currently you can not watch the movie but you can look at the trailers and gallery.

This is a very creative idea. The chance to see what is happening around the world to different people at the same time is very interesting. If anything it gives some small feeling how unique this world is.

Great video. Shows great quick work over a weeks time.
