Cheetahs on the Edge--Director's Cut





Video of the Day: Cheetahs on the Edge--Director's Cut from Gregory Wilson on Vimeo.

Cheetahs are the fastest runners on the planet. Combining the resources of National Geographic and the Cincinnati Zoo, and drawing on the skills of a Hollywood action movie crew, we documented these amazing cats in a way that’s never been done before.

Using a Phantom camera filming at 1200 frames per second while zooming beside a sprinting cheetah, the team captured every nuance of the cat’s movement as it reached top speeds of 60+ miles per hour.

The extraordinary footage that follows is a compilation of multiple runs by five cheetahs during three days of filming.

American Dream






Video of the Day: American Dream from Ian Ruhter : Alchemist on Vimeo.

The American Dream video is based on the fear of success, this thought is extremely powerful, fear has the ability to cripple us from pursuing our dreams. The moment I embraced my dreams it was as if the universe had drawn people to help us and share their stories. Our goal is to tell the stories of the people who live in America. Your support is the driving force behind our project. We could not have done this without you. We have made it this far because you shared and supported us through our social networking sites. We were able to connect with the people in this film because of the internet. Every time you share or like this project it brings us one step closer to photographing your town, people you know, possibly even you.

Cityscape Chicago





Video of the Day: Cityscape Chicago from Eric Hines on Vimeo.

Please watch in Fullscreen & HD with sound for best quality.

Cityscape Chicago is a personal timelapse piece consisting of over 30,000 still photographs shot on the Canon 5D Mark III incrementally between July and October 2012 around downtown Chicago, Illinois.

The inspiration of this piece was my fascination with the city of Chicago, particularly at night. For me, there has always been a mysterious sort of feeling to Chicago at night, so I decided to explore and capture it.

Prints from "Cityscape Chicago" will be available for a limited time on my RedBubble page.

WhoMadeWho "Running Man + The Sun"





Video of the Day: WhoMadeWho "Running Man + The Sun" from Good Boy! Creative on Vimeo.

Director: William Stahl
Writer: Michael Vogt
Cinematographer: Thomas A.

WhoMadeWho and Good Boy! Creative finish off their acclaimed "Pitfalls of modern man" video trilogy with a darkly humorous tale about spoiled and greedy modern men who, in the words of Mr. Burns, would "give it all for a little more".

This two-part video - covering the singles "Running Man" and "The Sun" from this years "Brighter" album - takes place at a fictional media company "Umlaut Creative" run by WhoMadeWho's Tomas Barfod.

The company's handsome, succesful employees are all smug and content in their cushy worlds of creative class self-righteousness and material prosperity. But when the company's HR guy makes them fill out a list entitled "10 things to do before you turn 40" their fragile bubbles burst, confidence turns to envy and envy erupts into violence...

The previous WhoMadeWho/Good Boy! Creative videos "Keep Me In My Plane" and "Every Minute Alone" have toured festivals all over the world and recieved widespread acclaim for their ambitious thematic depth, unusual for the music video medium. Both clips were nominated at the prestigious UK Music Video Awards.

The dual "Running Man/The Sun" video is an attempt to push the boundaries of the medium even further, by telling a thoughtprovoking story of high complexity in an exiting and original form.

Tea Making Tips (1941)





Video of the Day: Tea Making Tips (1941)

Welcome to the world of a national obsession and a place where people say 'orf' instead of 'off'. Tea connoisseurs will benefit from the six golden tips for making the perfect cuppa, as well as countless other handy hints (never store your tea next to cheese, for example). There's an assessment of the pros and cons of various teapots and words of wisdom about the tea bush itself. Slightly grotesque methods for producing tea en masse are demonstrated - it was wartime, after all - and tea had to be produced by the oceanful. As such, there are some top tips for cleaning that hard-to-reach tap in your tea urn. Remember: "a dirty tap means dirty tea".
