The thing that doesn't fit is the most interesting

Richard Feynman was one of America's great physicists and I'm a huge fan of the way he thinks. The clip above is an excerpt from, The Pleasure of Finding Things Out. You can watch the entire film on Google videos.

The Joshua Bell Experience

A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin (...) He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousands of people went through the station (...) The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.

In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped (...) When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition. No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars.

I've only been living in New York for about seven months, but I've noticed that people tend to disconnect themselves from their environment. I've seen people walk past some of the most amazing musicians on train platforms and not even bat an eye. I just wish people would slow down and take time to see and hear all the amazing things happening around them. The video above was a performance I filmed at Columbus station around 2:30 am. Hope you enjoy it. You can read the rest of the article about Joshua Bell here.

Kalan Sherrard Performance in Brooklyn

This is a short video I made of Kalan Sherrard's puppet show. I tried to capture the experience of Kalan's performance from my point of view. I have never seen so many people happy, confused, and a little put off all at the same time, haha. This was filmed at Bushwick's 2011 block party and it was awesome.

Red Bull Creation 2011

Here's a quick clip I made of Red Bull's Creation event this past Sunday. Four teams had 72 hours to concept and create a machine capable of moving a person from point A to point B. No fossil fuels were allowed. The panel of judges included Flash Hopkins, Simone Davalos, Glenn Derene and John “Parts” Taylor. Teams came from all over the US: Cali, Detroit, etc. Musical entertainment provided by That 1 Guy.

Text Offenders

The Alamo Drafthouse Theater has one simple rule. Text during a movie and you'll be escorted out. Apparently, this didn't rub too well with one customer. After watching the clip, do you feel angry at Alamo for kicking her out? Do you applaud them? I personally could care less, but you have to admire the courage it took for Alamo to take a stance and stick to it. It's strong views like this that create pure emotion. It doesn't matter if you hate them or love them. All that matters is that you took the time to feel something towards Alamo Drafthouse and that's not something a lot of companies are willing to risk.

Touch The Rainbow

This cracked me up, make sure to put your finger on the skittle! Credit goes to BBDO Toronto, you can see a few more of the spots on AdPulp.

Update: Apparently this concept was "borrowed" off of a viral video made back in 2009 on Youtube. You can watch the clip here. Oh well.

Pink Ponies: A Case Study

In 2010, [a Canadian agency], John St. took on its toughest challenge yet. Make Chelsea Bedano's birthday party a success in an already cluttered birthday market. The results were astounding.

Amazing creation/self promotion that mocks those 'inspirational' agency case study videos. Basically, John St. uses standard agency case study lingo and applies it to an 8 year old girl's birthday party. Funny, clever, and charming.

Canada, Eh?

I'm a big fan of these Canadian tourism TV spots. The point of view filming really puts you in the moment, and all of the clips use actual uploaded footage from people. Even better, they're all only 15 seconds long! You can see more spots like this on their YouTube channel, but be prepared to skim through 365 clips to find them.

Conan @Google Talk

Great chemistry (in some ways haha) between Google VP Vic Gundotra and Conan. Well worth the watch. Conan is truly in his element when he's on stage.

Moments

amazing film that catches a few of life's simple little moments.
i love how well the music was synced up with the clip.

Continuous Growth

only a minute and ten seconds long. nice thought provoking video on the economy.

HBO Go

I was actually wondering about this the other day while I was streaming a show from Starz on Netflix: Why don't the premium movie channels offer streaming sites for their show's episodes online? It turns out that HBO has recently launched a beta version of their Hulu called HBO Go. You can read more about the online channel here on Mashable. I guess my other question is what took them so long?

Something For The Weekend

Who doesn't love Pixar? If you liked this one, the guy did a great version of Alice in Wonderland. You can see that version here on Youtube.

The Social Media Guru

Sad, funny, and true. SFW, but there is some language. Made with XtraNormal.

It's a great little tool that's free and easy to use.
