Honda Accord: Cog
Reminiscent of the German film "Der Lauf der Dinge." I was surprised to learn there are no special effects used. Very elegant.
Check out the "Making Of" video below as well.

Honda Accord: Making of Cog
Watch the Honda "Cog" video first, then watch this "Making Of" video.
It's good to see I'm not the only one who can't get things right the first (or hundredth) time.
SNL: Lazy Sunday
For those of you who've been trying to find "Lazy Sunday" aka. "Chronic-what?-cles of Narnia" on Youtube, I finally saw it posted there again.
Man, now I want cupcakes.

Pearl Jam: Hawaii 78
I recently went to Hawaii. The story of the native Hawaiians is a sad one that's seldom told. This Pearl Jam performance (a cover of the song by Kamakawiwo'ole) does a better job than I could.

Second Thoughts: Trailer
Those of us who've braved traffic, heat, snow, rip currents and sharks just for a wave, we have nothing on these guys. They get dropped off on a deserted island, run out of food, surf their brains out, and film all of it.
DEFINITELY WATCH THE LAST ONE AND-A-HALF MINUTES!!!!
It will help explain to you non-surfers why the rest of us are hooked.
Rodney Mullen: Footwork
Too bad street and vert have totally eclipsed freestyle. Watch the inventor of the kickflip, the heelflip, the impossible, and most importantly, the flat-ground ollie (the one that street skaters use) as he tears up a featureless parking lot back in the day before skateboards had tail and nose kicks.
Daft Punk: Around the world
Video by Michel Gondry where each dancer moves to a different audio track.
Chemical Brothers: Star Guitar
Directed by Michel Gondry. It looks like nothing at first until you realize that everything is a computer model and it's choreographed to the music.
OK Go: Here It Goes Again
Here's the treadmill video from 2006. These are the guys that performed on the MTV Video Music Awards.
Microsoft iPod
Parody of Microsoft's approach to graphic design. For those of you jaded by the uber-minimalism of Apple, consider the alternative...
Billabong Odyssey: Intro of Parsons at Jaws
One of the best surf-movie intros ever. No music, no sound effects, just the eerie silence before the avalanche.
Despite all the speculation, there is no CGI or creative splicing here. Mike Parsons really did drop in on a wave this huge. Scary thing is that countless others have dropped in on bigger waves.
Family Guy: Brian's Novel
Great motivation for me and others I know who've been trying to write something meaningful but don't have much to show for it.
Step Into Liquid: Trailer
For those of us that aren't lucky enough to be able to surf today, here's the next best thing.
MadTV: Bob Newhart as Psychologist
Funny sketch on Mad TV, especially for anyone who has friends willing to give unsolicited simplistic advice.
The Ring of Truth: Chef Mark Pi Makes Noodles
Watch Chef Mark Pi use the mathematic principle of exponents to make a shitload of noodles quickly and gracefully.
