Fun With Pumpkins

It is that season when our thoughts turn to the possibilities of what you can do with pumpkins. We love pies, casseroles, jack-o-lanterns, and even sometimes a bit of flavor in our drinks. But we never quite imagined all these things you can do. This took several years and an incredible number of pumpkins. We’re […]

A Film With Some Gravity

We love films and music made with sounds of nature. Although this may not be entirely natural, the concept is a great one. Reminds us of the days when we would annoy roommates by playing Animusic every morning for about a month. Maybe you’ll do something like that to your friends with this short film. […]

Dinner Service by Rube Goldberg

  We’ve always been suckers for slow motion, mathematical animation, and homemade automation. Here’s something that still has us a bit stunned. We still can’t completely believe the amazing confidence Joseph has in this unlikely machine.

Call Mark When You Need a Tramp

We find it hard to stop watching the videos that this scientist and maker produces. Whether he’s doing battle with squirrels or porch pirates, or just destroying yet another watermelon, it’s always fun to watch. This time, the world’s coolest trampoline. Really! The. Coolest. Ever. Mark’s channel can be found here.

You can see more great #48hfp movies by subscribing to Facebook groups for the competition in your city. Here are two that are certain to have great information […]

Just a Moment

It seems that we’re increasingly obsessed with capturing the moment, preserving the moment,  recording the moment… Here’s an idea though. Could we simply pause to relish the moment? The opening shots of the video tell us that most of the visual activity happened in 4.2 seconds. That truly is amazing. We think it’s also okay to be amazed […]

Cog in a Machine?

We found this mesmerizing little video to be addictive. Your challenge here (if you choose to accept it,) is to watch this video without looking at the time shuttle. Also, find yourself if you can, in this societal morality play. So we have to ask you. Did you watch the entire thing? Did you see […]
