Cool Fire Animation Video | Using The Flames From Candles As Stop-Motion Artistic Medium

Posted: 12 Jul 2010 11:09 AM PDT

There are two things I’m guaranteed to think while watching any video featuring amateur animation: How cool is that? I wouldn’t have the patience to do anything similar.

This video featuring candles is no exception.

The set up for this quite easy: lines of tealight candles arranged on the floor with a camera in its tripod looking down on them. But that is, very much so, the easy part.

Then the animation begins, and this is where I try and forget the work that’s required to bring something like this to life, preferring instead to just focus on how cool it all looks.

Can you imagine how long it took to light, extinguish, and then relight the appropriate candles to get this looking good? It’s too much like hard work for me.

Kevin Hart: Seriously Funny Video | Trailer For Stand Up Comic’s New TV & DVD Set

Posted: 12 Jul 2010 03:53 AM PDT

Kevin Hart: Seriously Funny is the hour-long stand-up special from Kevin Hart. This video is the trailer for the show, which made its debut on Comedy Central last night, and is due to be released on DVD on July 20.

Kevin Hart was a shoe salesman before turning his hand to stand up comedy. After performing at an amateur night in Philadelphia, he turned pro and his since made a name for himself.

Hart is also a versatile comedy actor, appearing in two of the Scary Movie films, Along Came Polly, and most recently Death At A Funeral.

If I’m honest I prefer British comedy and comedians. Their American counterparts just don’t do it for me in quite the same way. Still, as most of you reading are probably American, I’m sure Kevin Hart will go down well.

Watch The World’s Worst Pick-Up Artist Video | Not Wasting Time or Money

Posted: 11 Jul 2010 08:15 PM PDT

Paul Jenka is very possibly the world’s worst pick up artist, doing things like offering coffee and anal sex in the same text message.

With a philosophy that centers on not wasting time, money or resources on women, Jenka sees no problem with his approach to getting women to sleep with him.

Who needs to put in all that time and effort when it might not get him laid? Best to get right to the point of it, yes?

Hey, if he actually picks up a woman who is interested in some ‘no strings’ sex, more power to him. I just reckon that if I told him no once, any further messages like that would be harassment.

Watch Spain Wins First Ever World Cup Against Netherlands News Video | Making Spanish History

Posted: 11 Jul 2010 07:43 PM PDT

Spanish soccer player Andres Iniesta scored the game-winning goal against the Netherlands, sealing Spain’s first ever World Cup win.

Well, it is a dramatic finish to the weeks we have been watching the soccer teams of the world duke it out to become number one.

While Germany remained favourites for a long time, the odds were with Spain and they managed to keep all the people who placed bets on them – and their country – very happy.

It is always nice to see a country win the cup for the first time. It’s an experience each team should have, but only one team can get there…

Cute Animated “Work” Video | Kid Decides Whether To Work or Play

Posted: 11 Jul 2010 05:34 PM PDT

As an adult we’re faced with two choices: work hard and enjoy the fruits of our labor or simply spend our days having fun. This sweet animated video shows what happens when a kid makes that call much too soon.

When his mother tells the kid that he’ll need to wait until he gets a job to own a pair of moon shoes, the next step seems obvious. He’ll just have to get that job.

He arrives full of enthusiasm and joy, but that’s soon beaten out of him. Pretty soon he’s a corporate drone struggling to remember just why he’s there in the first place. That is until a scene out the window reminds him of what’s really important.

This video is much longer than those I usually post, but stick with it. It’s gorgeous.

Amazing Baseball Video | Whirlwind Batting Technique Means 10 Hits In 10 Seconds

Posted: 11 Jul 2010 03:07 PM PDT

I can’t quite work out if this is legit or not. Is this even possible? There just seems to be something decidedly dodgy about the whole thing, like there is camera trickery involved somewhere along the line.

This guy claims to be really very good at a few things, one of which is a whirlwind baseball batting technique. So he demonstrates with the help of his mate at the local baseball cages.

This is the same person responsible for the Racist Cat video a couple of weeks ago. And I wasn’t convinced that was on the level either.

Being British I don’t play baseball. And never have done. The U.S. may play something called the World Series but that’s only because they’re virtually the only country in the world which plays the game.

Still, a good video, whether it’s real or fake.
